Riesel base 16 - team drive #2

[gd_barnes]

We are starting Conjectures 'R Us (CRUS) team drive #2 for Riesel base 16 starting at n=25K and continuing until all k's have a prime. Included in the drive are 12 of the remaining 17 k's that need a prime. A link to a sieved file is below. As we find primes, we will remove candidates from the files.

The file has been sieved for n=250K-500K and no more sieving is needed. The sieve depth is P=70T. As we find primes, we'll remove k's from the file for higher n-ranges.

We are posting one large file that people can cut individual reservations out of. This should give people more flexibility with their ranges. Please reserve a range that will take no longer than ~4-6 weeks. IMPORTANT: Please reserve in multiples of n=2000 and begin your range with n=xxx001 and end with n=xxx000 to avoid missing or duplicating tests.

Please post all primes, reservations, and statuses in this thread instead of using other multiple threads. We'll be checking this thread frequently for primes so that we can quickly get candidates removed from the file that no longer need to be tested.

Here is a breakdown of the 17 k's that are remaining:
12 in the team drive for n=200K-500K.
3 reserved for PrimeGrid and searched to n>1M with the Riesel base 2 conjecture effort.
1 reserved for base 4 and searched to n>1M.
1 unreserved for base 4 and searched to n=500K.

Below are primes found from the team drive plus all individual efforts for Riesel base 16 for n > 25K. Red indicates top-5000 primes.

All sieved files have been tested. Eventually we will begin sieving a higher n-range.

All primes now found will be top-5000 primes so have fun and take down some k's!

ok, first one: taking 2 files 25k-43k

[kar_bon]

range 25k-35k complete, no prime

range 35k-43k complete, 2 primes:
17735*16^38991-1
8702*16^41326-1

taking 43k-50k

[kar_bon]

range 43k-50k complete, no prime

reserving 50k-56k

[kar_bon]

range 50k-56k complete, one prime:

18957*16^50221-1

[kar_bon]

taking 56k-71k (4 files)

[gd_barnes]

Files now added up to n=100K

[mdettweiler]

Taking 71-74K. :-)

[tnerual]

taking 74-85k

[kar_bon]

next prime: 27833*16^57892-1 = 27833*2^231568-1
