I may actually participate in this one. I don't have that badge yet, anyways.
Re: PrimeGrid: The Equinox Challenge in 5 days
so should the rest of us participate? What say ye team?
Re: PrimeGrid: The Equinox Challenge in 5 days
I think we should do this challenge in a big way. This will give a sharp contrast to the boycott of the last challenge. Also it's in our sweet spot since it's CPU only, and we can leave our GPU's on the higher paying projects. Let's do it!
Re: PrimeGrid: The Equinox Challenge in 5 days
Sounds good to me, I will be in with ya'll then. ;)
Re: PrimeGrid: The Equinox Challenge in 5 days
I am sorry to say that I can not participate in this one. I will be away at the beginning of it, therefore it is not a challenge if I can not participate fully. Apart from that 13 days is too long for me to run all my machines flat out. The truth is I can not afford to run all of them that long.

It happens. Have no fear. You will not be drawn and quartered or keel hauled. Oh, well, maybe just a little bit for the fun of it.......... j/k

I'm in with 4 cores.
Maybe 2 more if the old dogs don't burn up crunching these long work units.

Re: PrimeGrid: The Equinox Challenge in 5 days
OK, I'm all in with 11 cores which includes my wife's lappy. Don't know how long I can keep that one crunching but any amount is better than nothing. I started just 15 mins after the hour not too bad since I was at work. :-bd

Three words: start up script
Everyone make sure to check your preferences on the project. It looks like they reset them again and the 25% rule is back in place. Also, it looks like my cache setting was changed. Maybe that was just me. :-??
