Apple Day
Announced is a three day challenge at ESP Prime Search Project from 18th until 21th october. I suggest we start at 18:00 UTC and end at 18:00 UTC.
More about extended Sierpinski Problem prime search can be found here. News and infos about the PRPNet client can be found here.
To take part, you have to activate the following lines in prpclient.ini:
server=ESP:100:1:prpnet.mine.nu:13005
Stats will be available at the well known place here
Enjoy and relax, if you can!

Nope, not for another 6 hours (plus) as I type this. There seems to have been some confusion... I have an iCal calendar entry that has this PRPnet challenge starting a day early.
I see no challenge stats page link either; hope that gets updated.
--Gary
p.s. FYI for participants: a fast i7 with HT off will take (very) roughly 1 hour to run a unit. At least that has been my experience.

There seems to have been some confusion... I have an iCal calendar entry that has this PRPnet challenge starting a day early.
You probably got that iCal entry from me here.
The problem with iCal is most applications treat it as static info. This challenge was originally slated for 00:00 UTC, then changed to 18:00 UTC. I modified the entry on this Google Calendar, but that won't push out unless you refresh the iCal / XML / HTML feed.
If you are a Google Calendar user, using the iCal link to add the Challenge Calendar onto your personal calendar will always get you up-to-date info (GCal always refreshes the feed on load). But if you're using it to populate an iPhone calendar or something like that, I think it loads the data once and that's it. Even worse, if you download the refreshed iCal data, it will add new items, but will not delete any old items. So you'd end up with two separate entries for the October Challenge... |

Indeed I did, mattozan, but no worries at all! I check in on the boards often enough to have noticed the late change. Thanks for your work creating the calendar (I use iCal on Mac) and I'm hoping you'll set up a 2013 version once the challenge dates are announced.
Now, where are those ESP primes I'm looking for...

It looks like this challenge is incredibly successful.
So much so that we're getting close to hitting n=3M.
And you know what that means!
It's time to start sieving for 3M < n < 10M.
The sieve reservation page is located here. Edit: Or it was located there.
As always, manual PSA sieve credit will be available.
Edit: Sorry, the page links sometimes change when the pages get edited. If the link above doesn't work, please go to the PST Sieving Forum and click on the ESP Sieve Reservation.
