cwizard said it most succinctly in this recent thread...

Be aware that there is also a short-term competition running, cracking the CSC encryption scheme. Read Virus's recent stuff in the Distributed Computing forum to get the hard facts.

I'm not sure about qualifying for the prize money, but I'm in the UK and have been cracking for over 6months now I think. Other sysopt members are in Latvia and Ireland as I recollect, so no geographic limitation.
Indeed the sysopt team has a long-running rivalry with a particular Portuguese team /forum/smile.gif

As goes using it to test systems, RC5, along with Prime95, is the app most frequently recommended for burn-in, both putting 100% loads on the CPU. I have no experience of the latter, but the dnet (www.distributed.net) clients are easy to set up and unobtrusive when working normally (though I shut it down for games), and are optimised for a variety of CPUs and OSs. Oh, and Virus does a great job on the sysopt stats/proxy side of things!
