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.
