What are the -d and -e options?
Nonfunctioning command-line arguments to confuse you. 🙂 -d stands for “debug” but this is turned off in the released clients. -e stands for “exclusive” which also doesn’t work. • Can I stop the client at any time? Yes, you can. Every time the client gets a new block of keys, it reports its work on the previous block to the server. However, when you stop the client in the middle of a block of keys, all work on that block is lost, unless you’re using a Mac client, which will ask you if you want to finish the current block before it quits. If you finish the current block, no work is lost. If you go ahead and quit immediately, work on that current block is lost. The server will reallocate the lost block to another client later on, so even if someone quits on a block that has the right key, the key will be found, albeit a little later than originally expected. To reduce the load on the server and statistics scripts, it would be nice if you can avoid stopping and starting the client repeat
