Factoring (again) ;-)

Good, thanks.

Off topic Second pass test:
@opyrt: If you like a reservation tell me. Reserving/unreserving such a test batch only needs less then 10 minutes so no problem at all. So if you have a set reserved and stop it only send in the results you have and say that you are stopping and thats it.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. :)

For the private reservations on first pass I am in contact with the person who reserved them and he will send me some info which parts he wants to continue and which he wants to unreserve. But as usual there are real life restrictions for his time so we have to wait. But who am I to blame somebody for not having enough time. I am the maintainer of the project and I do not find the time to cleanup the "join a team" thread.

Well... real life comes first. :)
Maybe the remains of these ranges should be put on the llrnet server and the persons who reserved them could get new ranges with higher n? I would hate to see a prime in those old ranges... ;-)

And one more thing. It is quite possible that I will release some additional tests in the 4M-4.3M in the next four weeks. The incomming tests show two suspicious isers at the moment . If my local tests confirm this we will redo their work before we continue. But if this is the case I will send out a call for help.

I'd be glad to help. Unless I'm one of the suspicious users. :)

I would love to help clean up any of the outstanding stuff. I am guessing it is about 10 more weeks before I am out of the current work. I did not consider the higher N value when estimating the time to complete what I have right now. Just need to find a prime to cut back on the number of tests to run.

Actually... that's a great idea! :D

Let's do it next week, OK?

I'd rather not pull people off the firstpass effort to do the secondpass effort at this time. PSP's error rate is very very good from what I've seen. Actually during the entire time I have been doublechecking all of the errors I've found have been due to of my own overclocking.

Also from Lars comments above he will ask for project help when needed.

Divesting ones time from firstpass to the detriment of their stats is something you have to want to do. For either personal... , project value, or b/c you think it's a worthy investment of time.

Sorry for getting a bit off topic...

you could try prpnet
CRUS is currently running a prpnet server and at some point soon NLPB will start using it

I totally understand what you mean. The reason I suggested it is that I feel secondpass is too far behind. Although it's unlikely, it is possible that a prime has been missed. And if that has happened, 1/9th of the effort put into firstpass is waste. I'm thinking a week of combined secondpass effort will bring our secondpass k much closer to 6M and help Lars find those nasty patterns of bad results.

I certainly meant this as a volunteer thingy. I see that I wrote "try to talk Digital Concepts into" in my original post. Scratch that, I did not mean that somebody should be "talked into running secondpass". What I was trying to ask was if you could ask him if he's interrested. :-)
(As you probably know, English is not my native language... I get by OK, but sometimes my wording creates a bit of confusion).

Thanks for the offer, but I'm sticking to PSP for now. :-)

I had already searched up to 3e15 without finding a Wieferich prime, although I did find a few "near" Wieferich primes. If you are working on that project it will be many years before it gets to 3e15.

Could you weigh in over here?

Folks are trying to get to the bottom of this quickly...
It would be a shame if folks are crunching double work.
The admins at the project say "says it's impossible that rogue's client has done the numbers they claim to have."

My name is used as source of the above statement here: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/...1#338002317931
To be fair, the project administrators have never said this, not even something that come close to this. See their official reply here: http://www.elmath.org/forum/board_02....msg458#msg458
