The Scottish Boinc Team

zlodeck, a member of the team Russia found a megaprime for base R2 2nd conjecture.
The prime 543131*2^3529754-1 has 1.062.568 digits and entered the TOP5000 in Chris Caldwell's The Largest Known Primes Database.

What are the most common platforms used by our volunteers? And which volunteers contributed the most?

Thanks to all the users. Please keep crunching!

<t> Hey Everyone, I will be turning off the mysql DB for the server at midnight UTC (8PM EDT) for 12 hours. Last time I kept some processes running, but turned off the WU generators in order to give things time to catch up from the drive failure (they are currently still off). I don't thi...

<t> NFS@Home has found a new record penultimate prime factor! 7,889M, which is a portion of the number 7^889+1, splits into 151-digit and 160-digit prime factors. This 151-digit prime factor beats the old record, a 147-digit prime factor of 12^293+1. Congrats to all contributors who helped set this ...

<t> Hey Everyone, I'm going to be turning the project off for roughly 24 hours starting at 1 PM EST (17:00 UTC) on March 25th. This time will do three things: 1) It will allow me to clear the transitioner backlog, 2) It will temporarily stop generating new WUs, so we can work on the backl...

Hello Everyone,

We will be taking the server down at 1PM NY time to do a reboot and ensure that the replacement drive is rebuilding correctly. We plan on being out for a couple hours at most.

Best,
