Congrats indeed! I hope you find many more!

I just asked Slash Dude to provide more ranges.

BTW, I wonder where is simon-b he has three 5-k ranges reserved but I haven't heard from him in quite a while.

Happy hunting to everybody!

Thanks ET & Kosmaj :)

About simon-b's ranges, I could process them if you make them available to me. After all my first range here was to eliminate the "hole" left by the unfortunate Keller's HD failure...

That will be greatly appreciated, but let's wait a bit more to see where is simon-b and what's the status of his search so that efforts are not doubled. I also asked Slash Dude to provide more ranges to keep you busy!

Hi Kosmaj,
Any news about your latest post ?

First of all congrats on your huge prime for k=3

I'm sorry but I have no news. Slash Dude disappeared, went to vacation or something like that, he hasn't replied yet to my mail to his e-mail address and over the forum.

I wrote to simon-b too, over the forum only and got no reply. I just got his e-mail address from the forum's admin and will mail him again.

Maybe some files are still on the 15k.org server but I don't know the path. Joss, if you read this please mail me URL's of 299 files. Thanks!

Finally, if you badly want to find another prime with a relatively small n you can reserve one k, for example k=37 from n=210000 on, but you will have to sieve first.

I just made 2 ranges available this morning,
from an old file that was only sieved to 300Bn. I was unable to find the ksieve file Mark was working on. There should only be a few extra.

Happy testing
Joss

Thanks Kosmaj and Jocelynl !
I am reserving the first range
(370 to 375)

[segmtfault]

Range 370-375 finished, no prime found.
Reserving 375-380

Congrats on your latest prime!
2995125705*2^377098-1, 113528 digits

Please note that I cancelled one range reserved by simon-b, if you wish you can work on it next. I wrote simon-b two times, once to his private e-mail address but got no response. I suspect he is a student on his summer vacation, that's why I keep his other two ranges still reserved. But if he doesn't appear soon I'll cancel these two as well.

BTW, does anybody know where is Slash Dude?? Haven't heard from him in more than a month. He is in possession of sieving results for k=2995125705 up to 1M, if he doesn't appear soon we'll have nothing to work on.
