Hello everyone,

We've got a new project up and running: diamond ore veins, the goal of this project is to search for chunk seeds which form large veins of diamond ore composed of multiple placement attempts colliding with each other. These collisions can cause veins of over 50 blocks to form, we're aiming for chunk seeds where this vein forms in one of the chunks corners, that way we can apply further techniques in order to find world seeds with additional diamond ore being contributed by neighboring chunks.

This is version 1 because we'll almost certainly need another project for the second phase of turning these chunk seeds back into world seeds. There are 65536 workunits up right now, which cover a seedspace of 2^60 depending on how long this takes to complete and how many candidate chunk seeds we end up with, we may generate more work in the near future.

Happy crunching!

So what happened to the decorations sub project?

Why does diamond ore have an elapsed time limit of 2579.17 seconds ?
NVidia 1650 is far from fast but good enough for -
Repeating decoration seeds v1 v1.00 (cuda)
windows_x86_64
- which took more than 3500 seconds per WU.

Volunteers have better things to waste their time on...

This shouldn't be the case anymore. Initially there was an issue with the fpops bound being set incorrectly but I fixed that yesterday.
Are you still seeing this with the latest 1.02 version?

We got all of the results we needed from it and it wouldn't have helped us further to continue running it, so we didn't want to keep it going and waste people's compute

Any new Badges for this project? (●'◡'●)
