Your involvement in GIMPS
Since GIMPS isn't just about finding record-size primes, I'm a little curious as to how everyone participates in the project. So, what kind of work do you do for GIMPS, if any?
The majority of my computers are currently set to fetch work that makes the most sense. However, PrimeNet must think my computers are outdated as I haven't gotten any LL tests in a very long time. As such, I'm doing mostly P-1 and TF right now. |

Some of these options are not mutually exclusive.
Also the option "I am in it for the money" is regrettably absent. |

What TF/P-1 are you doing? This may be useful or effectively the opposite. I do virgin LL tests (P-1 if needed). The smaller the better, and if inadequately TFed, ask a guy with a GPU to do a few more bits. David Last fiddled with by davieddy on 2012-07-10 at 23:59 |

FYI: the "money" option would best go under "finding a new prime." Last fiddled with by ixfd64 on 2012-07-10 at 23:55 |

You probably also don't know the list of members who cleared more than 2,000,000 exponents (when it was still easy). I'll give you a hint: there was a few of us. ;-) I am quoting from an anecdote: When a certain scientist was asked for an opinion of the true modern genii in physics, he answered "Well, there's a few of us". |
