I'll be able to join your team since I'm pretty far along with my efforts in
research and implementation, and I have a lot of confidence in the overall
approach I'm taking. I'll be glad to compare notes though.
Depending on how things go in the next few days, I'll know just how much
computing power I will be needing, so I may be looking for minority-share
team members.<br></div><div> </div><div>Remember, once someone passes
the 0.8563 mark (and I do believe it will happen in the next few weeks),
everyone else will have 30 days to match/beat their progress before a winner
