"Kryptos@Home is a volunteer computing project which allows anyone on the internet to contribute computing resources to research projects, related to solving one of the most famous, unsolved puzzles - the three-decade old Kryptos!
More precisely, it is a sculpture located on the grounds of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Langley, Virginia - at the main entrance to New Headquarters Building (NHB) and in the courtyard between NHB and the Original Headquarters Building (OHB) cafeteria - completed by the American artist James Sanborn, on November 3, 1990.
The Kryptos sculpture comprises four large copper plates, a large vertical S-shaped copper screen resembling a scroll of four encrypted messages, three of which (referred to as K1, K2 and K3) have been solved.
As a community, Kryptos@Home's mission is to crack the elusive K4."

I went to the website to register an account first, and once that was set up - I added the project to BOINC Manager and then all was well and tasks downloaded.
I had to complete some tasks before I could set up a team, but as mentioned that has now been done.

Hi
Working on the main computer now.
Don't forget the "Do you consent to exporting your data to BOINC statistics aggregation Web sites?" option if you want stats reported.
