Getting others to do the work on exponents I like (was: Trial Factoring Progress)

I used to encounter the problem that the proof files couldn't be uploaded because Prime95 detected it was from another user or another machine when I copied the proof from the USB through a different Prime version.

If it must be the same GPU like the 2 Nvidia Geforce models I have. Most of the M168,***,*23 exponents should be trial factored up to 2⁸¹ because I'm going to test them some time during year 2023 using my own hardware.

If there are some other M168M exponents that I work on for P-1 or TFs, but they won't be PRP tested until year 2030~2032 when the wavefront crowds reach up there, then do no more than 2⁷⁸ like what James Heinrich suggested 2 posts prior to this one.

I guess you're just gonna do what you're gonna do, no matter what advice others give you.

I thought that if any trial factoring that would take less than 1/80 of the time compare to the PRP of the same exponent performing on the same machine would be considered worth to do it.

Finishing trial factoring of the M168M exponents from 2⁷⁸ to 2⁷⁹ will take around 40~41 minutes each on my fastest machine.
Finishing trial factoring of the M168M exponents from 2⁷⁹ to 2⁸⁰ will take around 1 hour and 20 minutes~1 hour and 22 minutes each on my fastest machine.
Finishing PRP tests of the M168M exponents will take around 6 days and 20 hours~7 days each on my fastest machine.

It takes more time to run the PRP test per GHz day in the M168M range than the wavefront ranges(M111M to M117M). You are the one who suggests the 2⁷⁸ bits targets for the entire M168M range, but you haven't completed 1 PRP test in the M168M range. Maybe you can run M168648523 on the Ryzen 7950X CPU when you have a free time and prove it can be finished within less than 79x amount of time compare to that of TF from 2⁷⁸ to 2⁷⁹ on your GPU. I picked M168648523 because it has already been factored up to 2⁸² but not yet received a PRP test.

Ben Delo can finish 1 PRP test of 1 M168M exponent in 4 days and 1 hour, but his service is not something I can use now. AWS Instance requires certain programming skills which I don't have.

So the main reason I've run all those TFs from 2⁷⁸ to 2⁸⁰ because many users have said(such as the 1 quote below) I shouldn't use other people's hardwares like Kriesel's Radeon VII for my own agenda on those M168M exponents.

SRBase started to reserve M129M exponents from 2⁷⁴ to 2⁷⁵ during the past 24 hours. I got only 480 total M168M exponents remaining at 2⁷⁴ -> https://www.mersenne.ca/status/tf/0/0/4/16800, very confident that I can finish everything on time unless James Heinrich doesn't turn in M168999437 and M168999521 before New Year's Day 2023.

Why not let SRBase do that work for you while you focus on getting other exponents to 78?

Most of the M168M exponents will reach 2⁷⁸ sooner or later if I keep working on them. Unless there's a significant higher demanding of the PRP tests in this range during year 2023, SRBase's hop-over from M167M to M169M probably won't affect the Mersenne economy very much.

May I please counter with something actually worth your time?

You had a post deleted [censored]? Or did you have a post moved [moderated]?

The latter. It's all cool.
