Not long ago, in the "Bases loaded" thread, this happened:

R672
- n=25-100k
- runtime 33s-10min (AVX @4GHz)
- 25-50k = 6 credits
- 50-60k = 12 credits
- 60-100k = 24 credits
- Sierpinski Base app
- deadline 24h

That's Riesel 672 in the Sierpinski base app.

Then, a few hours later:

R654
- n=50-100k
- runtime 2-10min (AVX @4GHz)
- 50-60k = 12 credits
- 60-100k = 24 credits
- Sierpinski Base app - short
- deadline 24h

Again, a Riesel base in one of the Sierpinski subprojects. What's going on? It's not like there aren't any Sierpinski conjectures to test. If the Sierpinski "subprojects" can get any base including Riesel, they aren't Sierpinski subprojects anymore. I do understand that it's hard to manage this project in a user-friendly manner when each subproject changes every day or two, but when the two workunit buffers declared Sierpinski-only by name get Riesel conjectures, it's time for a naming change.
