Info PrimeGrid Challenges 2025

We are Holding a commanding lead, but do people use bunkers in primegrid ?

 

[StefanR5R]

Sometimes one CNT member has got small bunkers. Otherwise, no.

Massive bunkering at PrimeGrid is discouraged (and so far, never happened), mostly because of the large storage needs of the certificate files which are used for the fast validation scheme. I.e. the intermediate data which a client with a "main task" produces at several checkpoints during the computation, which are then cryptographically transformed by the server, and lastly received and checked as a "proof task" by another client. The PrimeGrid admins once said that they have some safeguards in place to block massive bunkering, without disclosing details of these safeguards.

With the BG sprint over we may see some pick up speed, even though it was a CPU project.

As you know, this is CPU + GPU
