    Since team challenges via BOINCstats seem to have come to an absolute standstill, we indeed should concentrate ourselves on challenges as issued at PrimeGrid, World Community Grid and the challenges as organized by Seti.Germany. We can perhaps also look into the Formula Boinc competition.

    I've got my machine running for this, currently about halfway through the first task in 6 hours. Hoping for a top 300 position!

    We've dropped to the 8th place, but there is one more member with scores now.
    I scored 33,896 credits today for ESP-LLR, but somehow they didn't count for this challenge...

    I managed to overtake Scott Brown to grab 6th overall with hours to go. A lucky streak of tasks completing on my home machines as well as the Science Cloud.

    All I received was nearly 80,000 credits ESP that didn't count for the challenge, together with lots of warnings about a hardware problem that I should fix without stating what the error was and how I am supposed to solve it..
    I have the suspicion that PrimeGrid doesn't like my RAM speed for ESP-LLR (3600 MHz, the stock -XMP- speed for those sticks, so a light overclock).
    Another possibility could be the CPU temperature. To rule that out I will try e.g. a Noctua NH-U12S Redux with an additional Noctua NF-P12 Redux 1700 PWM.
