[QUOTE=PrimeCruncher]3321928171 is currently being worked on by Luigi according to Billion Digit page on the ElevenSmooth site. The Italian site seems to be down...[/QUOTE]

The site is up and running... maybe the link to Italy is down :-P

I completed 3,321,928,171 up to 71 bits, and am going to reach 72 bits.

Clowns789, you could easily pick up a range that has not been assigned yet, and take to 72 bits. :wink:

Ok, I'll just forget it since I was doing that on a PII. I was just getting acquainted to your software and after six hours it changed from 75 to 75.001 bit depth. :blush: That would take a long time!

Instead I would like to do 3321928699 to 65 bits.

Next time, would it be possible to shrink the file size of cygwin1.dll? I had to delete some of my sister's files (I think I can get away with it. The files, created in Dec. 2003 are obviously part of a school project. Its unlikely they would still be needed now.) to fit it onto a disk.

It has already been done up to 65 bits. You can take it to 66 or 67 bit if you like :smile:

I'm afraid I can't manage the size of cyg*.dll: They come precompiled with the environment. :sad:

Luigi

Anyway, how about I take 3,321,928,171 from 72 up to 73 bits using a Pentium IIIR 1GHz?

You'd better choose another exponent, and take it from 65 to 71 (or 72) bits.

I am still working on 3321928171 from 71 to 72 :rolleyes: Your work would be wasted if I find a factor...

OS X software
 

I have a 1 GHz eMac running OSX but know nothing about it. I tried the software but could not managed to run it. Will you please explain how I can run it?

Did you download all 3 files?

factor3_2.exe, cygwin1.dll and cyggmp-3.dll

M3321928171 has no factor from 72 to 72.0101855 bits.

How do I start on a new exponent?

1 - Go to the Project Billion Digits [URL=http://www.gimps.it/billion/billion.htm]page[/URL]
2 - Choose an exponent that has not yet been assigned (not active and with no factor associated)
3 - Fire your software: you'll be asked the exponent, the start bit (65 or 66) and the stop bit (72)
4 - Write a message on this thread, reserving the exponent.

That's all :smile:
