I'm in! Not been involved in a competition for a long time, so am looking forward to this :)

Looking at the teams that have signed up to the competition, BOINCstats suggests we'll finish a very comfortable second behind SETI.Germany. If we can add a few users to the cause then first place is definitely doable.

I'm getting limited to 14 per thread which would normally sound a lot but given they only last a few minutes it really isn't. They don't all validate immediately but not sure how much they back up though.

Think if you really want to bunker you would have to set up multiple VMs and run them in there. Even then using all the tricks you know you won't get that many so not really worth it.

Just hitting the ground running is probably the best plan.
