    Re: PrimeGrid Primes

    Seems extremely hard to believe, after 13 years, and over 585million credits, that I think I have my first prime:

    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=16 (GFN-16). What makes this prime unique is that it's large enough to enter the Top 5000 List in Chris Caldwell's The Largest Known Primes Database.

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

    Added 132592 : 130060566^65536+1 (531769 digits)

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

    Re: PrimeGrid Primes

    Wow! Two of us found and double checked the same prime!

    https://www.primegrid.com/workunit.php?wuid=929413362

    I found it first, and denim was the double checker. Sweet!
