Congrats for your latest quadruplet.

I'll take on one of the mersenne cofactors; is there a place where some proofs are reserved, or a list of which need primo proofs?

Those on this list but not on this one. I recommend at least 16 cores

I don't know about coordination. HTH.

Speaking about primo proofs:

I have a few (4 + 2) candidates of irregular and Euler irregular primes waiting for a primo primality proof.

They are ranging from about 22000 to 29000 digits, but are far beyond my current computing resources.

If one of you is (seriously) interested, please drop me a note.

10,132 digits!

This quad has a remarkably high difficulty level! Congratulations to Peter!

Congratulations. It is truly impressive! Over twice the number of digits than the previous one (5003 digits on March 2016).

A new Generalized Fermat has been found
2733014⁵²⁴²⁸⁸ + 1
While not the largest Generalized Fermat it is (by far) the largest prime for 2019 with ‎3'374,655 digits.

Congratulations to Yair Givoni and The Planetary Society.

Congrats to GEN-ERIC for the primes [p,p+6] = (18041#/14*2^39003-4)±3.

Congrats! However, that's a strange website with weak, incorrect statements.

What about 6521953289619 * 2^55555 - 5 and 6521953289619 * 2^55555 + 1 (16737d) dated Apr 2013?
Should one think that Peter immediately rushes to Wikipedia to update his record for posterity after finding a record? I am sure that he has other better things to do. Or maybe someone else does for him? Also probably not.

There is a reason why even school teachers don't give children a grade for a quote from Wiki. Wiki is broadly correct in generalities, and overwhelmingly incorrect in expert details.
The algorithm for searching for facts is: start with a general blurp from Wikipedia, continue searching using links and links from links... then you might build some semblance of a current state of the art.

I'd argue Peter's triplet is not so sexy since there is a prime at 6521953289619 * 2^55555 - 1

On the other hand:

Prime pairs with a prime gap of 6 are known as sexy primes (p, p+6).
e.g., (5, 11), (7, 13), (11, 17), (13, 19), (17, 23), etc.

there is a prime between 17 and 23
