WEll it appears from the Participants listing on the home page... but I'm not bragging yet... That I will come in 2nd place behind John Galt on this team! 9 hours plus yet to go at this point. Also it appears that a new prime was found during this challenge so I guess it paid off. John I have to get a minute and see what your running to come up with your numbers! Good luck to all!

We are Sieving (finding factorials), the Prime was found on the non-BOINC Primegrid.
Congrats on your spot. My lack of GPUs put me way lower in this challenge than past challenges. |

Congrats. I had a 7 hour lapse from booting issues, so we might have been closer. I lost 40 spots from it, but so far reclaimed 19 of them in the last 36 hours. 137 of 2033 is still good and third for the team.

I'm actually a boiler and hvac engineer, always was bad at math lol!
Need a calculator or puter for that!
I lost a hard drive with my backup for the best producer, The XP machine, and the XP machine crashed during this event. Lost it for 1 hour and will have to power it down after this is over and pray I can recover my backup for it. 2 new seagate 1tb from microcenter 69.99 a piece already ordered. |

I figure I will have lost the receipt long before the 5 years are up.
