What's next?

It looks like the DC server will finish its current tests in less than a week. Are there more DC tests that are going to be added? Any changes from seeing results coming from PG and their double check work?

The next big push I would like to see is getting first pass tests finished up to <8mil.

I am waiting as long as possible before feeding in new tests as most of them will be for k=156511 in the n=6M range. Reason for waiting is to see as many dc results for new tests as possible to get a feeling for the quality of the most recent results.

The last part of my offline DC-tests should finish early next week. I have only 3 of them left that fell out of the queue and were readded today.

Regarding the DC queue... Is the plan to _always_ have work in it, or only when there are values for k=168451 that have only been checked once?

At the moment my plan is to have always work in the queue. If there is no work left for k=168451 there is k=156511 as spare sequence.

Due to the fact that I will not have the time to look at the server queue as close as planned I have now put in enough work for the next weeks.

I had hoped to come down to less then 40 k=168451 tests before feeding in k=156511 but real life has more importance.

Work has been eating a lot of my time lately aswell. Why won't someone just pay us to find primes instead? ;-)
