Team StarQwest's hourly information report.

StarQwest · 2006-09-26, 16:59

Hey everyone out there in primeland.

I began team StarQwest about one year ago, and have tested 13 exponents for primality. I now want to grow my team (which only has two computers now) into a mass effort in the search for the ten million digit prime. Anyone is welcome. Any test (factoring, double checking, LL) is welcome. My goal is to put team StarQwest in the top 100 within a year. The team currently has 77 CPU years. #100 currently has 1,620 years. The more members, the better. Team StarQwest already has gained a piece of fame by testing the largest mersenne number EVER: 2^100,000,007 - 1. That test will finish in mid December of this year. Yxine is currently double checking that number, and his double check will finish in late December - early January. Whether you're a new member just joining GIMPS and looking for other members just like you, or whether you've been testing for many years and are interested in becoming part of a team, team StarQwest shoots for success.

Join now by responding in this thread or sending me a private messege. I will then give you the instructions and password to put into Prime95 to become an official member of team StarQwest!

Just for the record, team StarQwest has now reached iteration 75 million on M100,000,007! I am three-fourths of the way done!!! 4.3 million more iterations to go before I surpass the world record on the most iterations performed on a single exponent (current record is 79,299,959)! The entire test will finish on December 14.

Team StarQwest has now surpassed the world record of 79,299,959 iterations on a single exponent!!! 20.7 million more to go. I will finish December 11 - 14!

Team StarQwest has had incredible success with M100,000,007, and as an effort to grow and expand the team, I am going to list the steps required to join and make them open to anyone who wants them. This also means (as the team name and password are given) that anyone will be able to view the team's account report and see any exponents being tested by the team. If you have any questions, feel free to post here in this thread or send me an e-mail (my e-mail address is listed under my personal account report on mersenne.org), and if you decide to join the team, please post here or send me a private message letting me know of your membership. Team StarQwest is open to anyone who owns a computer and loves primes, so here it is.

I now have my own website, with a page on Team StarQwest and GIMPS. Here is the URL address:

The test is complete! Unfortunately, it is not prime. However, I will be posting more information on my website, www.starqwest.org, as well as screenshots of Prime95 finishing the test, all known interim residues, and some other neat things discovered along the way.

Cool, so now with your residue posted I can spoof a message to the server and instantly get 79 years credit on my account :)

PS: Just kidding guys, but someone might do it. Maybe you should obscure the last two hex digits of your residue.

StarQwest · 2006-12-18, 22:27

It won't work. The test didn't credit it to my account automatically because it is over 79.3M. I had to e-mail George Woltman and have him manually credit my account.
