"Happy New Year, and welcome to the 2022 PrimeGrid Challenge Season! To kick off this year, which happens to be PrimeGrid's 17th anniversary, we're going to attempt to finish off GFN17-LOW!

We'll be running a 3-day challenge on the GFN17-LOW and GFN17-MEGA subprojects from 17 January 17:17 UTC to 20 January 17:17 UTC."

So if you need badges in these you might want to get working on them right away. If you use a cpu to crunch these they are about 2 1/2 hour tasks, with a gpu they are under 10 minutes for each task.

GFN17-LOW is now finished, pending a few cleanup tasks.

Wieferich and Wall-Sun-Sun is also just over 1/2 way done and they plan a challenge in September which could help boost this project to it's end, or at least near it's end. So if you want to get your hours in, now would be smart.

Thanks I do need some hours in those tasks! I'm currently at 636 hours so any i can squeeze in will help. I put 4 cores at a time on each task and it thinks they will take about 20 hours for each task with less than 1% done.
