Twin prime search?

One of the most important things to include would be a stats page, since that is what makes DC projects interesting. Have ranks by # of primes found and # of ranges completed (how many M).

The site is very very simple for the moment and manually updated.
It has not a stats page.

Creating a stats page is not so difficult, but it requires that we make all the site automatic, that is:

1) Database with USER, CURRENT RANGE

2) Database with USER,PASSWORD, # TOTAL RANGES COMPLETED (MILLIONS), # PRIMES FOUND

3) database with RANGE, STATUS OF THE RANGE, ASSIGNED USER

4) Registration, user panel to reserve/unreserve RANGES, others...

It is lot of work ... it will require a lot of time, I think.

If somebody have some suggestion to speed up, you are welcome; if not, I can work on it but it will require a lot of time.

If you need help on php/mysql programming, feel free to ask. I think I have kinda good skill in it. (well, the only programming language that I use everyday)

For MooMoo , the site is also zipped here:

Click on FREE at the bottom of the page, then wait for the countdown to expire, then insert the code and download.

I checked out the site, and it looks fine. I also suggest that it has a link to the wiki that victor made.

P.S. Have you found any primes (not neccessarily twin) in your range yet? I'm almost done with my 15M-20M range, and I'm still primeless
Oh well, I might have more luck on another range

OK , thanks.
This week I think I put the site on http://www.twinprimesearch.org

I have not found any primes in my range yet, but I think it is quite normal.
I hope we can really find the largest twin primes

(if anybody find twin primes, who will be considered the discoverer ? )

I added a stats page to the site.

The person who finds the twin prime in his/her range will be the discoverer, and he/she will share the credit with myself and these people:

- person who completed the most ranges, in M
- person who found the most (non-twin) primes. If this is the same person as the person who completed the most ranges, the person who completed the second greatest amount of ranges (in M) will get the credit.
- anyone who can give LLR or NewPGen a 5% or more speed increase
- If the twin prime is within 100M - 5000M, gribozavr will also get some credit, since he/she's the siever of it. If the prime is above 5000M, the person who sieves the most (in trillion) gets the credit, assuming distributed sieving is available then.

This means that as many as 6 people could end up sharing the credit, which is fine. After all, this project cannot be completed by one or two people alone.

When gribozavr will finished sieving, maybe he should send me the file with the candidates (if it is not too large) and I 'll post it on the site for download.

When you say "share credits" you mean credit on the site http://primes.utm.edu ?

Yes, that's the site I meant. Anyway, Gribozavr has PMed me and told me that he'll release 100M-150M, and I told him to post it in the range reservations thread when it's available.
