the last month there were about 105 primes found with more than 100354 digits. so every month TPS/PrimeGrid get 50 counting primes lost (because half-counted, kicked out of Top5000). PrimeGrid's biggest prime is at place 4050 and therefore in 8 months there will be no prime in Top5000. so if RPS finds about 20 more primes it will be the first rank in number of primes ahead of Prime Internet Eisenstein (some more for new Eis-ones). i could check how many primes are listed for RPS in a month for the last year.
overview of projects and number of primes here: [url]http://primes.utm.edu/bios/top20.php?type=project&by=PrimesRank[/url]

26565*2^393136-1 is prime (118351 digits)

Continuing the take-down of TPS/prime grid primes with one of my favorite k's...

120023475*2^359311-1 is prime (108172 digits)

That's 3 in 4 days and 4 in 9 days! :smile:

Finally, one to share with Sheep!
 

After a frustratingly long dry spell (since <600k), 99 has produced a prime:
99*2^1106989-1 (333239 digits). :w00t: :george:

A new prover code was created to share the glory (as it were) with Sheep. This prime is worth 40 normalized primes, so sheep gets credit for 20. Thanks for all the sieving work!

Now, if I could just find one in the 600-632k range... :ermm:

Congrats! That's a big one!

Hi Curtis,

Congrats on a nice megabit prime!

(Prof. Caldwell just marked the latest SOB prime as "externally proven" and I beleive he will start his verification machines soon.)

WAY TO GO Curtis and Sheep!!! SuWEEEEEEETTT!

:curtisc:


The above Emoticon is called "CURTISC". I thought it was appropriate for Curtis finding a huge prime! :lol:

[QUOTE=Kosmaj;116753]One more from the 5th Drive submitted together with Bliss: :cool:

285*2^780300-1 is prime! (234897 digits)

BTW, the previous k=285 prime was way back at n=392397 :shock:[/QUOTE]

Wow! Can't believe I missed this before. Thanks so much for sharing it.

Congratulations VBCurtis!!!
Another important fact: this is our 10-th megabit prime :tu:

2089*2^499951-1 (150504 digits)
