No doubt about it, and by a full 10 bits too!

127.734 bits!

mersenne.ca agrees with the statement. Congratulations!

Additionally, it's stage 1 only, so really impressive! (k = 5 × 37 × 251 × 1493 × 2203 × 9533 × 25301 × 59467 × 607147)

It doesn't have to be a particularly noteworthy factor for Stargate to be fond of it. (Re-read the thread title.) Now, if we start adding sub-64-bit factors here, that may be crossing the line.

M3000409 has a 94.882-bit (29-digits) factor: 36506847546234971967385191137 (P+1, B1=15000000, B2=1530000000)
This is my first factor found using the P+1 method. The previous 36 attempts were unsuccessful.
Success is diminished by the fact that this is the second factor for this Mersenne number

That doesn't diminish the success. What does diminish it is the fact that this is a stealth P-1 factor. i.e. Had you done P-1 to the same bounds, it would have found the factor quicker.

In this case that would indeed be the case, but as I reviewed some results of the P+1 method there are many times when the P-1 method would not produce a result faster. e. g. 1891277
Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict which method will prove more effective in a particular case.

You can see from the list of successful P+1 efforts that it's a pretty even split between whether the factor could have been found by P-1 or not.

Very interesting list!
