Any interest in a PG challenge? I'm ready to test my new setup on PG.

I'll race you ... your new setup versus my new setup - mano a mano!

Your new GPUs against my new CPUs. I'm betting the CPUs will kick butt

[scole of TSBT]

Surely you jest . I'm going to pull the 7970s and put in the old nvidias for the challenge too just to see what it will all do and get a little closer to the next PPS Sieve badge. I did a little more than 4mil per day during the Pentathlon.

I'm expecting the rest of the pirate hoard :pirate: Will Megacuncher stay with PG for the challenge too? Lee Carver has a 770 that loves sieve. We have some other PG crunchers that will hopefully stay on PG through the challenge..

Oops, I thought you were gong to run the PG Project Challenge that is Sophie Germain ... CPU only

I'll tuck my tail and run ... I concede

[Bryan]

I guess I can give Collatz a rest for four days. I'll be in it. Can we bunker in this race?

Is there any other way to run a challenge? Yes sir, if it were the "PG project challenge" then no, but this is a team challenge so bunkering is semi-optional.

[scole of TSBT]

PG only gives 100 WU in progress and it can take up to a day for pending to clear. If you are starting on PG from a flat start it's a toss up whether it's better to build up pending or bunker 100 WU.

[Dirk Broer]

Can be handy to have some SOB WUs (sons-of-bitches) ready to finish....

[scole of TSBT]

Understood. The NFS project needs more crunchers on the 16e app right now anyway.

[Alez]

I know the feeling. After last year's electric bill I cut down on bitcoin and GPU crunching. Was quite a shock.

It started a few hours ago. TSBT jumped out and took a quick lead but LAF passed us. SETI.Germany and Gridcoin not far behind. Anyone need to update their PG badges?

[Silver]

I always want to upgrade my PG badges - it's getting enough credit that's the problem

Just a case of relentless perseverance...

TSBT is fighting hard to defend 5th against AMD Users and P3DN! Current individual positions...
