[quote=IronBits;152699]Delete my post and subsequent posts.
I won't post about found primes in the forum again.
I'll leave that up to folks to handle.[/quote]


It's no big deal. Leaving the posts here shows other new prime searchers what the typical submission method is. I, for one, appreciate your enthusiasm! :smile:

BTW, be sure and always post your own primes here after submitting them at the top-5000 site. Otherwise, we might miss listing it on post 1 of this thread for quite a while.

BlisteringSheep has a new prime on port 400! I sent him a PM.

927*2^588621-1 is prime! Time : 348.0 sec.

675*2^578746-1 is a confirmed prime

I've had 8+ quads on port 400 and haven't found a prime in nearly 3 days; almost 15,000 pairs. I move 1 quad to port 4000 and find a prime within 3 hours:

843*2^578747-1 is prime


Go figure.

I couldn't let Ian keep taking ALL of the primes in an obviously good n-range. lol

Actually, I think there's just something wrong with David's server. When a prime is found, I think it changes some of them to composite when it feels like it. :smile:

Did ya notice how far apart my confirmed prime was from your prime in terms of n. One of us could have easily gotton BOTH.

Holy cow. No, I hadn't noticed because when I pasted them in the 1st post of this thread, they went in different sections due to one being confirmed.

That is clearly the record for primes being the closest together for NPLB, even going all the way back to n=260K. It's a little unfortunate that yours had already been found. It would have been something finding 2 new primes within 2 n's!

I think Karsten or Mini had done an analysis on primes the closest together for us previously. Do either of you guys happen to remember what you came up with for that?

no, not such close in this high n-level.

i'll check this by pulling all primes out of the data i got so far (by script) sorted by n.
hope i can do this the weekend (need this too for the next Team Drives, to see which primes are known/listed so far).
