Congrats, I am still waiting to get lucky on a prime.
If you guys want to find primes without being stuck to PrimedGrid just let me know by PM. I am helping Riesel Prime Search at mersenneforum.org.
I've been working on PG hours/badges on some of the longer running projects recently: Seventeen or Bust, Prime Sierpinski Problem, Woodall, etc. I've had 13 SoB work units running since around April 2, with only 3 competing so far (on a 4790k).
I was lamenting about the length of these units when I checked my wingman on one SoB job... mine have completed after about 7 to 11 days depending on HT settings - my wingman's took almost 3.2 million seconds to complete... nearly 37 days! :!! That's dedication!!
But the most cringe-worthy work units I saw among the ones I'm working on have to belong to this guy:

Poor sucker crunched on not one, but two of them for almost 45 days before suffering computation errors :((
Oh man, that's harsh.
HT on on LLR is a waste of time.
Exactly, good for WUProp hours :pQuote:

Half a night of crunching. I guess I'm lucky.
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 120105 : 6369*2^1345955 (405177 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.
