2005-11-08 14:40 GMT Project resumed with new application
We have resumed the work with the challenge. We are now taking RSA768 (yes, we skipped one. Everyone else is allowed to take it ;)). The work generation is a bit slower than previously, as we monitor all possible problems with the new application. We are still waiting for the results from the previous challenge; they will be validated and credited. Please note that time required to finish one workunit is now 5 times longer. This has been done to reduce the strain on the server.
We also had a lock-up today, our router has stopped responding once again.

Looks like its 768-bit now. Wonder how long this will take to factor.

For PrimeGrid it would take eons to factor. They're using the brute force method, testing all possible candidates until they find the one.

And now workunits are 5x longer? ouch... :?
