Hi all!
Just wanted to know how everyone's TdP is going? What projects you are on, do you have the badge already?
I DC'ed only one GFN-16 on the first day of the challenge. In dire need of a prime! Currently, I am doing around 2500 tasks PPSE per day (2000 first), and 850 GFN-16 (500 first).
Happy crunching y'all! |

Hi Frank!
I haven't found a prime yet. My strategy is all on GFN-16 right now, completing a total of about 1500 tasks per day with 60-70% firsts (thanks Google Colab).
Having no realistic chances being 1st for CPU tasks, that's all I can do. Hope I can find one itsy-bitsy prime in the next 10 days. If not, I'll let them crunch through March until they find one... A prime is a prime ;) |

Just the one but satisfying find for me, plodding on with 17 Megas since but some of the CPU time next week will be taken up finishing my WOO all-turq situation off.
AP push to 200M immed after TdP. |

Looking for prime lucky #13..... on 17-Mega and PPSE. Was on 16 again for a brief bit but returned to 17-Mega with Mega dreams!
All TSC instances should be shutting down shortly.. budget doesn't allow for anymore... now it will just be the local flipper force.

Woohoo well done!
I'm onto Woo for my carefully orchestrated final turq now but it's 3-cores non-MT so a core free to speed up the GFN17Ms... |

Congrats to our Great Flipping Leader (LOL) for fourth place.
What a ride of innovation that month was. That's what I love about PG: it's so dynamic ;).
& what a shock about MSR closing! |

Congratulations to all! What a ride it was indeed! I managed to sneak in a PPSE and GFN-17 low (first) and a GFN-16 (DC) |

I think I'm a case study in bad luck and how probabilities aren't guarantees; I ran 65-70k PPSE+GFN16 tasks during the month with only a single DC! Ah well, there's always next year!

I had a lot of luck very early on and then things went silent.
Managed 1st on a PPSE and a PPS and DC on a PPSE and the very first GFN16 of TdP.
