Hi all

I was not aware that Willy had had a lot of medical issues since about 2021...and it seems that he has decided to stop treatment and to wait and see how his condition changes.

You can read the background to his condition, and his latest update, on his forum here:

https://www.boincstats.com/forum/1,1/12703,1

And it is nice to see that PrimeGrid are going to re-dedicate the December Challenge in his honour:

https://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=10713

So, I hope anyone who has any crunching ability available to them can join the PrimeGrid Challenge of "finding the first known GFN-21 in his honor during this challenge, which will run from December 10th at 18:15:00 UTC for 10 days until December 20th 18:14:59 UTC on our GFN Prime Search (n=21) project."

regards
Tim

Very sad, it has been extremely cruel swapping between good news and bad news so many times.
