Somebody, who shall remain nameless (but who is currently in last place on our team) issued a challenge on the PrimeGrid Discord, and now they're trying to get everybody else to join one team to challenge us. I guess we'll see what happens.
Icecold+my score is bigger than 2nd+3rd place ! Each of of us alone is close to 2nd place. Thats kind of Pathetic, that I have 15 computers and could almost beat 2nd place.

To add insult to injury, the only reason your output or my output would not be enough to secure 2nd place currently is because a handful of people switched over to CNT in an attempt to overtake our team for first place(see Ken's last stats update regarding that). So far unsuccessfully. Prior to that happening either your output or my output was higher than CNT or any other team other than our own.

I am unable to join the Primgrid discord. It says invalid invite, and if I try to do directly there, it wants an email, and if I put mine, I have no idea what password it wants.

and something happened to skillz, he is now in 7th place on the team !

Here's a start:


It may not be available in your area quite that way by electrical code, though.
Just a few years before balcony power plants became a thing, I moved into an apartment without balcony. (Other than that, I quite like it though.)

It's crazy how open-minded and future-interested Europeans are, though.
Compared to most others, we were just early birds in digging out and burning up the domestic fossil fuels. After that it almost comes natural to start thinking about what to try next.

I mistakenly thought something was gonna happen with people joining CNT. Doesn't seem like I though. 🤷

I believe tng switched teams at some point.
The only problem with that, is that he was not on my radar as a threat to overtake me until this morning. All of a sudden he has jumped up in points, and changed teams ? something is fishy

TNG has been in third place for basically the entire challenge. His points never changed. He switched to CNT for less than a day, and at the same time he also added more hardware. You can see where his output went up on this graph ( https://statsgr.id/top_user_graph.php?challenge_id=2025_3 ), that was the same time he temporarily moved over to CNT, which is what Ken was talking about in this post - http://www.portvapes.co.uk/?id=Latest-exam-1Z0-876-Dumps&exid=threads/primegrid-challenges-2025.2624853/post-41433430

thanks for that graph. I just didn't see him as a threat until today, but maybe it is what it is.

I have one more 64 core Rome, if I can find a way to power it.

I also have a 128 core (dual cpu) Milan, but way no power anywhere for that beast, and the dual 7V12's are going to Tony soon.
(and 2 5950x, again no way to power them). These were all replaced by the fleet of Genoas.

I'm guessing most of that hardware isn't his own. Lots of 12 core Xeons. Maybe he got them for free or something, put them in a hangar and powered them up.

First I could have miscounted by one or 2 but to take me down, TNG has 89 boxes ::::::

70 12 core Xeon servers +
19 other assorted AMD mostly desktops including 8 9950x, 2 9900x and assorted other.

To take down 15 boxes

6 Zen 4 AMD servers + 1 Zen 5 +
8 AMD desktops

Kind of won that one I think.

You got the email saying this is your prime, right? You found the 16th largest prime number; who cares if someone found more composites.

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 Generalized Cullen/Woodall (PRST). What makes this prime unique is that it's large enough to enter the Top 5000 List in The Largest Known Primes Database.

Since you have auto-reporting selected, the following prime was submitted on your behalf:

Added 140607 : 4052186*69^4052186+1 (7451366 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

Well, I guess that is a big achievement. I still can't believe how many cloud computers (70) it takes, to take down my little farm of 7 AMD servers !
