So, can someone explain how we just ended up with 14,000 new PRPs below 3000dd?

This has to have been by design. It's too immense and too soon after our mention of success to be coincidental...

I'm sitting here right now seeing 2xxx dd PRPs increase toward 500 with every screen refresh. I'm sorry to say that's soured me. I'm stopping all my certificate machines as of now! The files I turn in tonight will be the last for quite a while...

Wow, that's depressing. It'd be nice to know who did that, and why.

At a casual glance there are a number of 1153# +/- <6-digit-number> with a divisor of 10-15 digits. Someone did a bit of work to come up with all those PRPs.

Looks like a bunch of gibberish to me...

Story of factordb.

I'm still working on the smallest numbers. Submitted 2000 certificates yesterday, doing another run of 2500 now. Sigh. I really do wonder where they're coming from.

Around 2000 digits there are a load of prps of the form ((2^n*k-1)*a+(2^n*k-1)^2)/(2^n*k-1) with around 20 digits worth of small factors.

This is a strange form for them to have been added to the database as it simplifies to:
(k*2^n-1)+a or k*2^n+c
It isn't difficult to get pfgw to find prps of the form (k*2^n+c)/factors. I just found a load at larger than their's.
Cleverer than most of the junk we get in the db.

Odd how things work. I'm still sour, but I'm more sour because I lost two machines to the sub-zero cold, working on another project that didn't tax them enough; one was a machine that directs all the others.:sad:

Primo will keep them all running on their own and should also keep them warm.

I've taken the top half of the 1xxx dd range to work on. If anyone else is working there and would like me to move off their area, let me know.

I'm adding the bottom half of 1xxx dd. Speak up if I'm infringing...

Due to my sloppiness of accounting, I'm working down into the 99x area, as well...

I'll continue on the very smallest numbers, then? Currently I seem, especially past about 700 digits, to finish them more slowly than they're replaced.
