I found a prime today
Wahoo! Some people crunch for years without finding one, that's awesome.
congrats, lots of hours to find them most of the time, way to go
Yheaaaaaaaaaaaa
Friends are like diamonds and diamonds are forever
Congrats, I am still waiting to get lucky on a prime.
If you guys want to find primes without being stuck to PrimedGrid just let me know by PM. I am helping Riesel Prime Search at mersenneforum.org.
I've been working on PG hours/badges on some of the longer running projects recently: Seventeen or Bust, Prime Sierpinski Problem, Woodall, etc. I've had 13 SoB work units running since around April 2, with only 3 competing so far (on a 4790k).
I was lamenting about the length of these units when I checked my wingman on one SoB job... mine have completed after about 7 to 11 days depending on HT settings - my wingman's took almost 3.2 million seconds to complete... nearly 37 days! That's dedication!!
But the most cringe-worthy work units I saw among the ones I'm working on have to belong to this guy:

Poor sucker crunched on not one, but two of them for almost 45 days before suffering computation errors
Oh man, that's harsh.
HT on on LLR is a waste of time.
