VDF = Verifiable Delay Function. It is the PRP thing that generates the certs.

[QUOTE=Uncwilly;556336]And PrimeNet user "atrench" was impatient and did a PRP run that looks to be lacking in a VDF. So it will still need to be re-run.[/QUOTE]

VDF only kicks in for "larger" exponents. I think it is 100,000 or more.

it is where I would start

2 Factors in same bit level.....
 

I believe this is my 7th in the last 6 years.

I'm fed up with a lot of double factors like that:
[URL="https://www.mersenne.org/report_exponent/?exp_lo=880000153&exp_hi=&full=1"]M880000153[/URL] (TF 78-79)
[URL="https://www.mersenne.org/report_exponent/?exp_lo=989000567&exp_hi=&full=1"]M989000567[/URL] (TF 77-78)

[M]M3349033[/M] has a 201.952 bit composite factor: [url=https://www.mersenne.ca/M3349033]6217575158069946300914632364196267867798278947818161061977999[/url]
This is my second largest double factor.

61 digits. That's remarkable. :shock:

[FONT=Arial]M105006619 has a factor: 3114311268814618461112972838321 (P-1, B1=830000)
101.297 bits. I think it is one of my largest one found

[QUOTE=firejuggler;556899][M]M105006619[/M] has a 101.297-bit (31-digit) factor: [url=https://www.mersenne.ca/M105006619]3114311268814618461112972838321[/url] (P-1,B1=830000)

Congrats :smile:

P-1 found a factor in stage #1, B1=820000.
UID: Jwb52z/Clay, M100140233 has a factor: 390077835803264014215583 (P-1, B1=820000),

78.368 bits. With that new 201 bit composite factor recently found, this one seems a bit paltry.

Except, that's not a composite factor.. :showoff:
