Just a heads-up for anyone currently running Amicable Numbers:

The project is officially entering its final stage.

The project developer, Sergei Chernykh, recently posted that the search is expected to be finished by early March 2026.

Since it's so close to completion, they won't be doing any further development work or updates for the project.

If you’ve been contributing to this one, you might want to start looking for a new subproject to move your hardware to soon!.

And it is done the last tasks have gone out and been returned. If you have the Project on any of your BOINC systems it is time to remove it.

Congratulations to all that contributed.
