thanks for posting the notice

There is a very good chance of finding primes running PPS tasks this challenge. I am sure the team will find several.
They are small primes, little bigger than Sophie German primes. PPS around 460,000 digits vs 390k Sophie.
I found 3 of them the last TDP, and Bcav found quite a few more than I did.
Not if a prime is found, but who will be the 1st to find one...

I Will be ready on my end.

Note the odd start time. 4:17PM EDST monday the 15th.  (Double check my time, I believe I am right)
Remember only tasks DL after the start and turned in before the end count. So no bunkering.
Tasks will be given credit when turned in. If the task is not valid the points will be deducted.
Run a few tasks and check your temps, LLR tasks can make CPUs run warm with the AVX load.
Good luck everyone, hope you find some primes!

Also if looking for a Prime during this Event do not Bunker Tasks.
Keep your Cache to 0 and 0 in the Client Tool and Resource share 0%

Yes indeed. Just remember if so inclined, bunker AFTER the start of the challenge. Anything DL before will not count.
These tasks are so short, and such a good chance of finding a prime, why bother to bunker.
Not like anyone is fooled by it. I never think, I am safe, no one is close behind me so I will slack off.

Yeah I forgot about the start time as well.  Only lost a few hours but up and running now.

No No No you have it all wrong

 
To lightening up hot summer Time Blues, yea I am old school.

Dear Primefinder,
Congratulations! Our records indicate that a computer registered by you has found a unique prime number.
This computer is running BOINC, is attached to the PrimeGrid project, and is assigned to the Proth Prime Search.
What makes this prime unique is that it's large enough to enter the Top 5000 List in Chris Caldwell's The Largest Known Primes Database.
Since you have auto-reporting selected, the following prime was submitted on your behalf:
Added 126664 : 1103*2^2783149+1 (837815 digits)
This prime was found on this workunit which will automatically show as a prime result after verification by the Largest Known Primes Database.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us and we will surely resolve any problems.
Once again, congratulations on your find! Thank you for participating in PrimeGrid.
PrimeGrid staff

Congratulations on the primes Bill
 
I set mine to no more tasks. With this heat,glad this one is just about over.
