There is still some work left so I cant tell you yet if this is the smallest prime for R72. Stay tuned.

Here is another prime reported some times ago:

One more note about this one: This is the largest CRUS prime to ever prove a base. It topped the previous proof of R121 by nearly 400k digits! :smile:

Slow but steady progress, 23 k's remain for R745:

This find is for base R1024 and maybe solved the base. There is some work left so I must wait until I know it for sure.
