[quote=Andi47;109468]Have you emailed your result to Paul (Xilman)?[/quote]

Well, I was trying but sending mail from his profile is not permitted.
I'll send him PM.
P.S What's his mailbox?

Thank's

[QUOTE=xilman;109390]The configuration is primarily to send out the number with the smallest number of completed curves at the B1 level currently the smallest to be used. There's a random element superimposed on this behaviour too.[/QUOTE]

It sounds like you have used the setting for "probability a choice is selected," but you may not have used the settings for changing those probabilities based on the last use. For example, setting the probability to 32 but setting the hours to 3 and the decrease per hour to 10 would make the probability of the lowest candidate being sent out to each user after the first be 2%, increasing back to 32% in 3 hours. Of course this means you go deeper into the list, but it sounds like a reasonable tradeoff for the situation.

Update
 

Another update is in progress right now and represents the state of play at 18:00 UT yesterday, 2007-07-03. There are 321 composites in the table on the web but, unfortunately, the ECMNET effort is so successful that the table is already slightly out of date. 416 factors have been reported in the first four days since the extensions were added. Something like 250 arrived in the first 24 hours.

Tom and I have been pretty much swamped by the flood of small factors, so it's not too surprising (though regrettable) that some factorizations were found independently by two or more people. Now that factors are coming in at a rate of one per hour or so we may be able to get on top of the situation.

I have reserved c106 of 9,2,354- on [url]http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~twomack/homcun.pl?sortby=snfs[/url]
but now this line is deleted. Does it mean this number was reserved (but not marked on url ! ) by somebody and factored succesfully?

ECMnet is running ECM constantly on all the numbers in the table, whether reserved or not, and from time to time I run a script which removes all the numbers for which Paul Leyland's tables have a factor written down.

Note that I've relabelled a lot of the numbers (my script put a^2n-b^2n instead of a^n \pm b^n under manu circumstances), and that it's possible you did your reservation while I was running the relabelling scripts.

Well, that means c106 of 9,2,354- is factored?

Yes, I've just found in my mailbox a note dated 09:15:03 July 3rd

A factor was found for 9+2_177 using GMP-ECM using factor method ECM

which is I suspect your c106.

This completes the factorisation

9^354 - 2^354 = 7 * 11 * 67 * 103 * 827 * 2833 * 4603 * 11329 * 12391 * 60889 * 246990049 * 13904870431 * 19305872381432091911171862641472937563203 * 4133950704852639743995254229034155182643 * 2301991204464109524466913171118316852767289469913673 * 2363943955160520463564465573348394617953411067782518070887799092737 * 867308876995997830428936622543114065576392711161602632890678029186916517324393798430730725097

Both are checked with ProvablePrimeQ;

I'm not sure how sensible it is to post factors here (I do it from time to time, but generally of numbers that took weeks to compute). Just copy-and-paste the 35-digit prime into the 'Submit' box at [url]http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~twomack/homcun.pl[/url] and send an email to Paul at the address which the factor-submitted form will give you.
