PrimeGrid Challenges 2023

[Ken g6]

So 22000+ an no prime...........

Not anymore! Congrats!

 

[Orange Kid]

😀 28000 + equals one prime 😀
New math.

 

[waffleironhead]

I think i used up my luck right before the month started. Got a prime on 1/31. So fingers crossed I get another before the end of the month, The data amounts primegrid uses now has been absolutely brutal on my monthly allotment. I accidently exhausted my tether data on 2 devices so far before noticing how big the gfn16 WUs are. That 2mb per unit adds up quickly. I have to be careful for the rest of the month or I risk using up the rest before it resets on the 28th.

56000+ prime again.
doing my best to hog'em all.

Congrats to all!

Got an email saying (awaiting verification) that the TeAm found another Jennifer 16. I am sure her parents will be glad to have her back safe and sound.

I only switched from 17 to 16 in the last few days, might go back, now that I have a new T-shirt.

This computer was assigned to the Sophie Germain (LLR). Workunit 869512449 : 7696468855707*2^1290000-1 (388342 digits).
Since candidates on this subproject are not large enough to report to the Top 5000 Primes List, this prime doesn't count for TdP.
CPU assigned to TRP until the "Mountain Stage" (19th of February).

As a reminder, today (21 hours to go) is the Mountain phase. Primes found today will get you a different badge. Maybe my bunkering efforts will pay dividends.

 

[Orange Kid]

@w a h finds two for the mountain.

Holy crap @w a h !!! Well done! Six for the Mountain Stage?! (Mountain stage is now over)

You tied Scott Brown, but 'boss' found 10.

[cellarnoise]

Just to complain..

Are there awards, or at least "underwear" for most check-tasks completed?

Maybe G-string equivalents? Error, I mean P-strings... Just a fraction of a Prime?

As the parade of Primes slows, I think I've found my last for the month. Up to four now.

[Fardringle]

How are you tracking your total tasks completed? The tasks results page doesn't seem to be keeping mine very long...

Or are you just estimating based on credits per task?

Estimating based on credit value vs. credit earned so far, I've done about 12,700 tasks since I finally remembered to switch over to PrimeGrid on 2/18. No prime yet, and probably won't get one in the next two days unless I'm really lucky.

 

[Markfw]

What tasks use a lot of L3 (7950x3d ??) or love fast video cards (4090). Or avx-512.

I may enter one of these if so.

I usually just use the "tasks returned in the last 24 hours" section of the PG member page to get a rough number for tasks/time.
