One of our longest crunchers bwhite recently found a prime number!!!
The prime was confirmed as k=114487, n=2198389.
"The prime, as has been pointed out, has been verified. 661787 digits - congrats to Bwhite, who has the 25th Riesel Sieve Prime, and the 2nd largest Riesel Sieve Prime."

Mitro also reached a milestone hitting a combined score of 1 million within BOINC. This is an excellent achievement. Well done.

Thanks to Neogen for the original idea of the "Boinc Championship". Even with his recent terrible net connection he has still managed to regually updates the stats and stay in control of the situation. Thanks for the continued dedication to AMD Users, it is not overlooked.
