This was the reason why it has already been discussed several times in the other thread, but any way, both intervals have passed. The record-long dry spell is official for both groups.

These exponents are the 2 remaining before the current milestone:

109693543	PRP		3		9/22/2022	9/22/2022	8/7/2025		George Woltman
109800421	PRP		7		9/26/2022	9/26/2022	8/11/2025		George Woltman

These are also Cat 0's that show no progress:

110531917	PRP		5		9/24/2022	9/24/2022	8/9/2025		George Woltman
110550211	PRP		7		9/26/2022	9/26/2022	8/11/2025		George Woltman
110791903	PRP		5	11	9/24/2022	9/26/2022	9/26/2022	10/7/2022	George Woltman

But this is George himself. (As the founder of GIMPS,) he will never quit. Nor will his assignments get expired (I remember that George have said this).
So it's best to wait. George will finish this very quickly. I don't know how quick this will be, but I guess this will definitely be less than a month.

George has Radeon VIIs. Such an exponent could be done there in about a day after reaching the front of its queue. DC wavefront ~63M takes ~9 hours. And that's with power reduced for efficiency.

He has mentioned in the past that he does not target these type of exponents, those near the tail end. And has mentioned that if someone wants to let him know, he can shift them in the queue, so they will complete sooner.

I do monitor this thread. I moved the exponent up in the queue a few days ago, which means no more than 4 days to complete once moved.

2022-09-29 -> All exponents below 110 million tested at least once. Almost 4 full months since the M109M milestone, however the report webpage is still not yet updated after 23 minutes after the midnight like mersenne.ca - see screenshot below.

Does it show that there is an exponent not yet complete under 110M? No, therefore it is up to date. Has the entry for exponents below 110M been removed? No, a human has not done that job yet. Some things are done manually, deal with it.

For those concerned about the DC milestone and may have a desire to "help things along", please note:

All of the exponents that are assigned to Brian Boye and soon to expire below the milestone are being worked on and will soon be turned in. This was announced here: The League of the Linen Coloured Balaclava-ed Gentlemen and Ladies
Most of the machines are unattended.

So, let one person handle it and let's not all start taking shots at them. And BTW, all of them machines have spotless LL records.

And there is plenty of other work to go around. https://mersenneforum.org/showpost.p...8&postcount=11 for one view.
