    3X+1@home Closing Down

    News: Nov 12, 2008 Project will soon close down
    Due to a lack of time and resources, we have to close down 3x+1@home soon. On Friday, 14th November, we'll stop generating new work units but results can still be returned for a long time. Of course the project page will stay on-line for everyone to view or download (available soon) the project results. Thanks to everyone who has participated in this project!

    Ladies and Gentlemen get the work units while you can, once Friday comes around there will be no more to garner from the server! ! !







    Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.

    …Pursuit is always hard, capturing is really not the focus, it’s the hunt ...

    Another project that isnt complete and has resulted in, what some might feel is, wasted donated computing power and electricity usage.

    Last chance

    Get 3x+1 tasks now

    With this project shutting down Friday - November 14th - is the last day you can grab some tasks. They have a 40 day 'expiry' date so fill your caches.

    Let's see if we can overtake Team 2ch at 1 minute to Midnight
