Tour de Primes 2021

[Dirk Broer]

beslade, aka Brucifer. He made a team change to storm, a PrimeGrid-only team.
And not without success: he discovered three primes since.

Got another double check today. But I didn't have a chance on this one, it only arrived to me 7secs before the 1st checker finished it. Oh well... maybe next time.

We've had 21 of the 28 days of this challenge so far, and in those twenty-one days no less then 356 primes have been discovered.
BarryAZ of BOINC Synergy discovered a BOINC: TRP prime 9221·211392194-1 of no less then 3,429,397 digits, earning him 51879.546624003 credit, plus the red (highest single score) and green (highest total score) jerseys. boss still leads for the yellow jersey with a comfortable score of 25 primes, ten more then closest opponent, penguin.

317 of these primes have been double-checked, of which no less than 36 by Vaughan alone, ten more then his closest opponent, KajakDC.

I allowed my TSC clients to die by failing to top-up my account overnight. I'd already spent over USD3000 trying to find as many primes and large if possible but its pointless versus boss who is running so many TSC T4 GPUs I lost count.

Now running a dozen TSC clients plus a handful of AWS Platinum Xeons and my pharm.

Tour de Primes is almost over. I haven't found any primes, but I double checked 3 so far, and bumped up my ranking on the team a couple of spots. Also got >10M credits in Primegrid within a month, so it's been quite a productive run for my machine.
