After D.net, now what?

[Brute]

Informal poll. Now that RC5-64 is over, what DC project do you plan to move to?

Don't see a poll!

My thinned down herd is munching ECCp DPs now.

Well I didn't include any names because a) I didn't want to lead people, b) I didn't want to be accused of leaving out certain projects, and c) I might hear about new projects I've never known about. The ECCp one you are doing was new to me.

As to me, my computer is currently working on OGR-25 task.
But that is done in the meanwhile; I am looking forward to see some new projects from dnet team, but _not_ RC5-72.
If they will launch only RC5-72 and no other new projects, I will contunue working on OGR or even move to some other projects.
I will try to explain my negative thoughts about RC5-72 soon in this or other thread.

does anybody around these parts do Seventeen or Bust?

a distributed attack on the Sierpinski problem. The problem deals with numbers of the form N = k2n + 1, for odd k and n > 1. Numbers in this form are called Proth numbers. If, for a particular value of k, every possible choice of n results in a composite (non-prime) Proth number N, that number k is called a Sierpinski number. The Sierpinski Problem asks "what is the smallest Sierpinski number?"
