As promised, badges have been added for the diamond ore vein project, there are currently 3 badges, the first is given to all diavein project contributors, second is reserved for the top 10% of credit holders and third is reserved for the top 5% this gets updated every 24 hours so it is possible to loose a badge if your credit amount no longer meets those requirements.

As for a project progress update, things are going well, we have generated the next 65k workunits, and the largest vein we've found so far is 58 vein. We're gunning for the first 60+



Happy Crunching!

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!
