Could you please give us an update on hceyz outcome..are they all finished..nearly finished..has any results of any consequence been achieved by crunching all these units. Please dont be shy..throw us a carrot..I for one crunched these for ages, and am very keen to see some sort of outcome for all the effort, and lots of others are too I reckon..I'm not complaining just really anxious, as I have scaled back on enigma at present for other projects, and dont really want to drop it altogether. Dont take it the wrong way, but surely a bit of info is not much to ask.......

Well, the hceyz72 search space is completed, but the message remains unbroken. The 'current best scores' on the main page are updated in realtime, so the current best result is visible as soon as it's received by the server and validated. Unless there's a bug in the autoupdate function, but last time I checked it worked fine, and the top result matches the one returned by a database query anyway.

There's always possibility that the trigram score of broken message will be lower than the highest 'garbage' output, that's why I'm manually checking the top results to see what's there, it's going to take some time.
The database contains 1361708 unique results for hceyz72 (due to the nature of the hillclimb algorithm used, sometimes the same result is found with different random seed at the start, or even different start position/machine settings). I'll export all the unique results together with full machine settings to a human-readable format(s) and then I'll put it somewhere for everyone to review, but first I have to find a way to extract it from multiple db tables and put together.
