Post: Although it would be fascinating to crack codes like that, this project isn't designated for that kind of code - just Enigma, and we have over 200 million workunits to crunch - I suspect that if we asked around, though, we could get somebody to set up a project to crack this kind of code. In fact, I'll ask around the UBT forum tomorrow... |

When will we finish cracking that message?

Post: I'm hanging on too, because even though we may never find the message, it is cool to think that we might! :D (I take it that the project and all of the people who run it would get credited if we find the message?) |

Post: It get we want it as fast as possible, but I also want as many credits as possible :D As for the bit when I said you have to work for the credits, you knew what I meant ;) and it is more than 2x quicker - my 4 core laptop can do (on average) 1 task per core per 2 hours (8 per 2 hours), but if a GPU can do a task between 15 and 20 credits (probably even faster on some GPUs), it is 4 - 8 times faster... |

Post: I agree, jaro, but in a way, I like it CPU only, because it means you have to work for your credits, but if you got a GPU coming in, it's easily finish a task every 15 - 20 minutes... |

Post: It would, wouldn't it?! And I agree, (I don't have a GPU capable of working on projects myself), but I agree that it would make it A LOT faster... |

Post: Thanks jaro, and It'll be interesting to see what'll happen at the end of this batch - I suppose we'll just start a new badge, and ok, so if we cracked it, it would be well publicised :D |

Post: Well, what will happen when these codes are cracked? Will the project die, or will there be something else to work on? I really hope that it doesn't die - I LOVE this project, and care for cracking codes and cryptography :D |

Post: Hi - I was just wondering two things: The first one is: how many workunits should I expect to crunch before I crack any of the code? And the second one is: If I do crack any of the code, how will I find out? Thanks for any answers you may have, From Chris |

Post: Hi, guys - thanks - you were both correct :) - the Pi DOES run BOINC easily, but I have done 13.313% of a WU in bob on an hour, so although the credits are few and far between, I am gonna keep going with it, to help enigma out :D |
