I wanted to explain the random range collisions that are displayed on the user stats page.  When ever a client requests a new range it is randomly generated and then checked against the DB to see if it has been previously checked.  If it has been checked then a random range collision has occurred and the count gets incremented.  As the number of checked ranges increases we can expect to see the collisions taking place more frequently.

If the range has already been checked the range is once again randomly selected and checked again.

In case you did not notice on the stats page I have rewritten the chart code and started using a separate DB for stats.  This was a massive performance increase on the load time for the stats page.

If you have 1 or more decent GPUs I encourage you to create an account and contribute to this challenge.  The solution will be found faster the more help that we have.

As always I can be emailed directly from the stats page to answer any questions or provide help.
