Getting others to do the work on exponents I like (was: Trial Factoring Progress)

Both are currently progressing on devices disconnected from the network.

All unfactored M168.1M exponents have been trial factored up to at least 2⁷⁶.

2,050 exponents remain at 2⁷⁴ and 266 exponents remain at 2⁷⁵ - https://www.mersenne.ca/status/tf/0/0/4/16800, The forefront of SRBase is located around M828M earlier yesterday.

I'm sure that you have other exponents not located in my range that you'll want to PRP test them, finish up M168554723 first which will take probably 5~6 more days if fully progressing daily.

M168776123 will probably finish by the 2nd half of Dec 2022.

Roger that, Boss-168.

I've criticized before that Zhangrc couldn't finish M108.3M from 2⁷⁶ to 2⁷⁷ all by himself before Ben Delo's powerful wavefront hit Zhangrc's subrange.

It's my turn now to finish the entire M168M to 2⁷⁶ before SRBase's 2⁷⁵ forefront hit my range. I'm a single person on primenet like Zhangrc, so I'm in no advantage compare to his scenario last year. His GPU was slower, but he only had 1 subrange to finish. My GPU is faster, so I cover a full range.

However you cannot skip counting the ranges on your side(M108M, M109M, M110M, M111M) that all the exponents have been tested at least once and not turning in a brand new P-PRP result.

M168554723 stands on 98.9%, so the completion of the PRP test can come during any hour block later today or earlier tomorrow, make sure the PRP proof file is fully uploaded before disconnecting the device from the network.

That'll be some time around February or March 2023, there are still 3,181 exponents remain at 2⁷⁴. Even with Nvidia Geforce 3080 Ti, the schedule can still be grueling tight(running TF assignments 24 hours, 7 days without much rest for the GPU).

I can't speak for the 3080Ti but my 2080Ti can do at least 250 exponents per day from 74 to 75 bits in this range.
Statistically it should take about 2 days to TF enough exponents to find 5 more factors.

Klaus Nordmann finished a C-LL test on M168288023 earlier today, I didn't request for it. If he had talked to me on this thread before like Dobri, I would tell him to insert PRP=1,2,168288023,-1 inside the worktodo.txt file.

I noticed this C-LL result entry from "PrimeNet Most Recent Cleared Not-Prime".

And in your self-centered view, everything is about you and what you want and how you think the world should be.

Since it was done "off the books" you have no idea when it was started, it could have started 3 or 4 years ago.

It'd be this thread which almost everyone has known for a while.

I could view the data this way also, but it doesn't show which exponent has already received the PRP test -
https://www.mersenne.org/report_fact...99&tftobits=72
https://www.mersenne.org/report_fact...99&tftobits=72, in this case, M168174323 had a certified PRP result.

I'm not everyone

To save me reading 57 pages of a thread, please describe for me exactly what kind of data you want to get out of your ideal custom report. Assume I know absolutely nothing of whatever factoring project you're working on. What is your ultimate output (e.g. Factor= worktodo lines)? What exponents do you want to include/exclude based on which criteria (exponent range, current TF, etc).
