Hi ALL:
This is a letter I sent asking what happened to the prime numbers I was
working on. I am posting it here to remind people who are doing 10million digit
numbers to log on at least once a month to update there page so this doesn't happen to
them
Hi Lawrence,
I reviewed the server logs regarding these exponents and what has happened
is the timeout period(60 days) that the server will wait prior to releasing
them had expired. This is tied to your contacting the server so that Prime95
can update the expected completion date, you missed the window by 3 days.
Is all your hard work(and subsequent credit) lost? No, although the server
has already re-assigned them to another account it will still accept the
results and properly credit your account for the completed work.
Regards,
Brad Bernard

Hi my name is Lawrence Murray and I have been running 2 10million
numbers since september of last year 33220001 & 33219313 one is 49% done
and the other is 63% done. when I went to upload the latest results it
said that these numbers are not assigned to me I would like to know why
they were taken away from me. My duel pentium 600mhz processor computer
have been working on these numbers and nothing else for 9 months and I
am not willing to loose the credit for all that work my computers have
put into this. could you please straighten this out right away thank you
LP Murray
