    There is a new BOINC project called SHA-1 Collision Search Graz which is a cryptography project trying to find a collision in the SHA-1 hashing algorithm. More information about how the project works at the university research group page.

    The BOINC page is here:

    There is a new project called Eternity2 with the aim of solving the Eternity II puzzle. You need to own the actual puzzle to participate. There is a prize of $2,000,000 (two million) USD for whoever finds the solution. If this project finds the solution then the prize money is split 50/50 with the successful participant.

    The puzzle itself has an RRP of £35 in the UK or $50 in US.

    Now it would be nice if the Statstool Config actually had a selection to enter your project account number so the score of your SHA-1 project would show up on your signature? Sorry Bok, I just found it odd that the project is shown with all the data but no where to enter your list for the signature, probably overwhelmed with other work duties to remember to place that link in the project. When You have time my friend.

    Uhhh

    Little help needed here. A few Windows boxes would be nice.

    My one lonely box is struggling to keep Free-DC in the top 25.


    Seems to be steady work.
