If you decide to join the challange remember to change your primegrid preference (http://www.primegrid.com/prefs.php?subset=project) to the Prime Sierpinski Problem (LLR) work.   I will give it a go, it starts in about 11 and a half hours so I am loding work now.

Good luck   :rocks

I'll give it a go too.  ;D

These Challenges only count tasks downloaded after the starting time. Any task downloaded before 4am this morning Sydney time will not be counted in the Challenge.

As these tasks are very long this is more important in this Challenge than in any other challenge.

I have backed out as the work is too long.  I will join the next challange if then  work is shorter.

I think I may finish the 4 tasks I am doing and do the same. It's not the length but the heat. HT has little advantage on this subproject so I'm only running 4 tasks but the computer was hitting 90 °C earlier today. Currently running only 3 at once and it's still 84 °C. I knew I was going to have trouble this summer with 3 GPU cores a crunching but this is ridiculous, it's only September.  :cry2:
