Recommended: upgrade to 0.4.1. Version 0.4.0 can restart its worker when Windows temporarily locks the status file; 0.4.1 fixes this reliability issue.

EnigmaGrid 0.4.0 — first public release

Donate spare computing time to investigate the unresolved P1030680 Enigma M4 message. This independent project is not affiliated with Veritasium and does not claim a confirmed decryption.

Install

Download EnigmaGridSetup.exe below. Windows x64, current-user installation, no Python or administrator account required. Choose a display name, explicitly consent to resource use, and set CPU/GPU limits. Tailscale is not needed on volunteer computers.

CPU computation works without a GPU. Compatible OpenCL GPUs are enabled only after a local CPU/GPU equivalence check. AMD integrated graphics and Intel Iris Plus have been physically tested; NVIDIA and other drivers have not been independently release-tested. CPU limits control the thread budget; GPU limits control work/rest scheduling, not exact Task Manager percentages. Changes apply to the next job. Pause and safe stop are available.

Trust and privacy

  • Public source, automated tests, GitHub artifact attestations, published SHA-256 checksums and an Ed25519-signed update manifest.
  • Structured research jobs only; the coordinator does not send arbitrary commands to volunteer PCs.
  • Windows credentials protected with DPAPI; server credentials stored as hashes. Public credit is optional and off by default in the app.
  • Results require independent reproduction before credit. Progress measures this scheduled heuristic search, not the probability of a solution.
  • Read the privacy policy and security policy in the repository. Report vulnerabilities privately using the Security tab.

Validation and limits

The release pipeline tests the frozen worker, consensus and installer lifecycle. Source CI covers malformed requests, transport safety, resource controls, pause/resume and safe uninstall. The public HTTPS service has been checked from a GitHub-hosted runner outside the private network. Real Intel and AMD hardware tests supplement CI, which does not provide a physical GPU.

The EXEs are not Authenticode-signed; Windows may display an Unknown Publisher/SmartScreen warning. Release signatures and provenance establish origin and integrity, not absence of defects. The coordinator currently uses a restricted current-user Windows deployment; it is not an independently audited or fully sandboxed service. Internet and host availability can interrupt work; leases are reissued safely.

Assets

  • EnigmaGridSetup.exe: recommended installer.
  • enigma-volunteer-windows.zip: complete worker/update package.
  • update-manifest.json and .sig: signed update metadata.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt: hashes of the published files.
