Most of the people in the top 10 are active on the different forums and are well aware of the problem. I do know about not being able to get to your computers I myself was not able to get to mine for about 14 hrs. after I saw the post asking not to run custom clients. And I still have about 10,000 waiting for validation that were completed before I got them stopped It has now been several days since we were asked to stop.<br />
<br />
I checked the stats of of the top 10 producers those that do not have their computers hidden including mine and some of them have been downloading work today and returning those same WU's today in the amount of time only the custom clients can achieve.<br />
<br />
The returns I am looking at are not work that was done several days ago it is work that was done today. Many of those people if not all know who they are and what they are doing. And if the have no way of fixing that it is understandable, But the ones that can do something about it and have chose not to, then Shame be to them, they only have 1 thing in mind and it is not the project. If I have to loose all of my points due to there choice then so be it, it has to be stopped, they could be causing all work currently being turned in to be invalid.<br />
<br />
I blame myself for this mess and I would hope others would please stop making my mess worse than it already is. I do not see anything wrong with NickOfTime wanting to improve the client that should have been done long ago and he went about it right. I also see a couple of others have made there own custom client and are currently running it thus making the same mistake I did. My choice of running it on all of the rigs I did was not very well thought out by myself and frankly was dumb on my part.<br />
<br />
I just want to ask all that are currently running a custom client to stop, please do not make the same mistake I did and possibly destroy several days of work for the project. just 1 person running a custom client can invalidate every days work from that give day from everybody on that day.
