LL and DC expiration times

[Chuck]

Is there a time limit on LL and DC tests? I would like to pick up a few for each CPU so I don't have to keep so close a watch on progress, but if the spider is going to expire them in a month like the TFs I might go over the time limit.

Once you put it in P95/mprime you reserve through GIMPS it, so it should revert back to the primenet rules.

Of course; I forgot that LL/DC actually belong to me after they are handed over by the spider.

And for those who remain Anonymous because a worker is using CUDALucas, they will be valid for six months (although hopefully they will be finished a lot faster than that...).

I see this on my assignments page:

You currently have 294 Trial Factoring Assignments totaling 1050.594 GHz Days of work, or 6 days worth based on your history. The oldest is 25 days old.
Warning: Some of your assignments are at risk of expiring. They are highlighted in red below. Please finish them as soon as you can, and/or extend them.

But I cannot find any marked assignments nor does the drop-down box on the bottom contain something to extend anything ...

I had missed to adjust the "Will factor to" field on one block, and 72 bits take considerably longer ...

What about 54510413, 54510439, 54510539 et al which are appearing in your Assignments page, highlighted in red?

If you don't want them, unreserve them.

Thanks, now I do have some marked and in red. May have been an issue with reloading the page.
However, I'd like to extend them but all actions I have are "Regenerate Worktodo" (4x) and Unreserve. I guess "Choose action" and the two empty lines don't count. Is it not possible to extend them? I need about 5 more days ...

Thanks for extending them for me ...

You're welcome. Sorry, I should have sent you a PM to tell you I'd done this, rather than relying on you to see it from the report.

And, so everyone knows, I've finally implemented the "Extend" function.

For those who have candidates reserved 25 days ago or more (very few), please extend your reservations if you want to keep them.

I will reactivate the automatic un-reservation script this weekend.

(And, yes, having a "select all checkboxes for candidates at risk of expiring", "...extended", "...all" and "...none" is on my todo list. But that involves Javascript (which I also program in), not just Perl and SQL; not going to happen today....)
