My turn

775*2^579335-1 is prime

Today is Prime-Day:smile:

Found my first one for NPLB:
759*2^596225-1 is prime!

This has to be a record: 7 different people have found primes in the last 24 hours for NPLB!

We've had more primes in a day but never more different people.

Cool! :smile:

Congrats Mr. Nugget Welcome to the club!

Wow, congrats on all the new primes in one day! There's still a few more hours, I hope to join the club (not the same club the post above me is referring to). :wink:

Darn, and when I saw that you had posted, I thought we had 8. lol

I should mention that after MUCH effort, we've finally closed the gap on RPS to < 300 primes behind for 1st place at the top-5000 site. We were close to getting to < 300 behind before the 4th drive started and then fell back to ~320 behind towards the end of the drive. We're making some serious progress now! :smile: This is a significant accomplishment because RPS has some huge and dedicated crunchers working on their project.

For 2009, the gap between the 2 projects will be a good standard for setting more goals for NPLB.

Edit: Even though the primes come more slowly at this higher n-range, they've helped us gain signficant score at top-5000. Although still in 9th place, we're past 1500 now. We should be able to move up 2 spots to 7th place on score (at ~2500) within the next 6 months or sooner. At that point, we'll only be behind the "big 6" so to speak...that is the "mega" projects that have a score of > 5000.
