<span style="font-size: 18px;">Calling All Crunchers</span>

The <b>MEGA Prime Search</b> is looking for more crunchers to help it finish.
The search will be wrapped up once the current remaining ~147 K WU's are complete.

Donate you computing power to this sub-project which is searching for a Mega Prime (at least one million digits). Work is currently at n=3,470,000 for 12<k<100 excluding k=27, 47. Once this port is closed the BOINC PPS sub-project can head to 6M for these low k values.

If you haven't tried PRPNet now's the time to give it a try.
A concentrated search of low k values and all primes guaranteed to be MEGA.
More about MEGA prime search can be found <a href="http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=3008&nowrap=true#36790" rel="nofollow">here</a>. News and infos about the PRPNet client can be found <a href="http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=1215" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

A PRPNet <a href="http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=5585" rel="nofollow">Closing down challenge</a> is currently also being run on this port.
To take part, you have to activate the following lines in prpclient.ini:
<code>server=MEGA:100:1:prpnet.primegrid.com:12010</code><span style="font-size: 18px;"></span>

<span style="font-size: 18px;">Best of luck!</span>
