In honor of Waclaw Sierpinski's 139th birthday (and Pi Day!), PrimeGrid will be running a 10-day challenge on the Seventeen or Bust (SoB-LLR) subproject from 14 March 12:00 UTC to 24 March 12:00 UTC.
 
The PG challenge thread: http://www.primegrid.com/...ead.php?id=9614#149118
 
These are big tasks NT would be best with HT off 
Being LLR2 even older sandy/Ivy bridge have a shot, be it a long one, at finding a prime.
 
No bunkering. Only tasks DL after the start and returned before it ends will count.
 
Good luck

wat happens when you find a prime? i havent crunched anything since early 2000s

If you put your name in the PG preference and give permission to, they will file the prime with the people who track the worlds largest 5000 primes. (Chris Caldwell's “The Largest Known Primes Database”)
If you don't, it will go in as anonymous I do believe. 
Primes have to be large enough to make it in.
Genfer15 and the Sophie Germain primes are too small to make it in

I'm in. Got a late start because I could not be bothered to get up in the wee hours of the morning after losing an hours sleep due to this dumb time change.
