Strategic Double Clicking

Yep! I usually first reserve exponents on the forum and then check for their availability to avoid double reservations...
No problems, Uncwilly did an awesome work on recent lists.

I took Madpoo's list, stripped off the non-assignment info, ran it through Mersenne.ca's tool to sort it. Then put about 4 in my worktodo.txt and tried to register them. All assigned. Repeated with the next 4 or so. Got 1. I stopped at the 50,000,000 line. I reposted the rest, since no one had claimed them.

BTW, is there an easy way to see what is available in a range? I have seen some of the Class 0's listed as available. I want to only pick up them or other strategic assignments.

What's available can depend on how you try to get it.

For instance, if the first LL test returned a shift count of 0, then you will be able to get it by automatic assignment (adding it to an Prime95/mprime worktodo.add or worktodo.add.txt file and waiting for the communication update) but not by the manual assignment webpage, because Primenet wants to be sure that the second test will only be done by software that has a non-zero shiftcount.

So ultimately the only way to know for sure that something was available to you is by trying to get the assignment and succeeding.

But, what I meant, is there a way to see what is currently unassigned, but in need of testing (DC or first time) in a range? There is a way to do that with TF.

So, if I want to do the add, but not using the manual assignment page, how can I (easily) select the lowest unassigned?

I've started a new thread in my blog area with updates of the first and second check gaps and more. See https://www.mersenneforum.org/showth...182#post501182
Subsequent updates are planned to occur there so as not to clutter this thread up with somewhat off-topic posts.

I can't think of an easy way to do it. You could datamine to find unverified or untested exponents and then subtract anything already in Active Assignments. But of course the lowest unassigned will be snapped up very quickly.

I already grabbed that one, before I saw this.

I still like to keep an eye out for any quad checks needed and do those on my home system.
