The great PPSE Push Jan 2025.

[Orange Kid]

Not bad, nine days in and I have a minor (PPSE) and now a major (GNF-17). Last year all month for two small ones.
Going to switch to 18's I think.
Looks like there are some big ones waiting to be double checked.

Did you find another one??

Not yet.

Me too now, but it took 22 days.

I got a GFN 17, in like 3 days ( I was not on the primegrid stats at all last week) with one 9554.

Dear Primefinder,

Congratulations! Our records indicate that a computer registered by you has found a unique prime number. This computer is running BOINC, is attached to the PrimeGrid project, and is assigned to the Generalized Fermat Prime Search n=17 Mega (GFN-17-Mega). What makes this prime unique is that it's large enough to enter the Top 5000 List in The Largest Known Primes Database.

Since you have auto-reporting selected, the following prime was submitted on your behalf:

Added 140165 : 309322056^131072+1 (1112856 digits)

This prime was found on this workunit which will automatically show as a prime result after verification by the Largest Known Primes Database.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us and we will surely resolve any problems.

Once again, congratulations on your find! Thank you for participating in PrimeGrid.

@Markfw You put in a lot of work last month—glad you jumped in, and good to see it paying off with two badges from the TdP off that 17.

Welcome to the party!

MAYBE, Ole 10esseeTony will bring home the Red Jersey. Got a GFN-18 in the last hours, of the last day, of the Tour de Primes. Awaiting single CPU core verification of course.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Ah man! There's a GFN-19 out there getting double checked. https://t5k.org/primes/page.php?id=140170

Yeah that guy who found that 19 apparently it's his first prime ever too.
