Mersenne: Primenet Bug

2002-02-07 Thread Daran
I want to do P-1 testing specifically, so I've been unreserving DC exponants after completing this stage, but before starting the test. A feature of the Primenet server is that it hands out the lowest available exponant of the type requested, which is liable to be the one just unreserved. The

...what should I do in order not to waste my (my A1200) time working on numbers which may be taken over by someone else in some uncertain future? Currently I'm finishing my first exponent (that's M7505207 double-check)... Don't disclose your exponants to a list read by Aaron Blosser.

All, What this list needs right now is a nice juicy math debate, so here goes: I was reading the faq about P-1 factoring, and it talks about constructing a 'q' that is the product of all primes less than B1 (with some multiples?) And then I read the skip 2, test 2 comment about trial factoring
