Titan found

[vaughan]

I got this e-mail from Rytis at PrimeGrid today:

" Dear Primefinder,

Congratulations! Our records indicate that a computer registered to you has
found a unique prime number. This computer is running BOINC, is attached to
the PrimeGrid project, and is assigned to the Twin Prime Search. What makes
this prime unique is that it's large enough to enter the Top 5000 List in
The Largest Known Primes Database."

This was a pleasant surprise.

A Titan (http://primes.utm.edu/glossary/page.php?sort=TitanicPrime) is "In the mid 80's Samuel Yates began the list of "Largest Known Primes (http://primes.utm.edu/glossary/page.php/Prime.html)" and coined the name titanic prime for any prime with 1,000 or more decimal digits. He also called those who proved their primality titans"

Wow Vaughan!

Now you are a real Titan!

[AMDave]

Congratulations Vaughan.
I believe your name will be written into Prime History.

[DMMc]

Congrats Vaughn!!!!!!!! Way to crunch.

[Ototero]

Super congrats Mr Prime. :wav:

[Virus-X]

Congrats Vaughn, i got one of those emails too :) i submitted the prime to the prime database and is ranked within the top 5000 as 3085 :)

[Evil-Dragon]

Congrats Titan (thats your new name now) :D

[BlackAdder]

:qgreenjumpers:WOW !!! Way to go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gamer007]

Congrats to both Vaughan and Virus-X. :D

[Ototero]

Well done both.
It seems names beginning with "V" do the business.

I think I'll change mine to vototero, what do you think? :icon_mrgreen:

[Scooter]

Does this mean I need to change my name to Vooter?? Not sure about that ...need to think about it ...lol!!!

[Evil-Dragon]

Vevil-Vagon (it's the only thing that would make sense)

[Ototero]

Vey to go people

[Virus-X]

Hehe u guys crack me up :rofl:

[Scooter]

according to my checking of the prime database Vaughan has 2 primes in the top 5000 list and Virus-X has 3 all 5 of these primes have more then 100,000 digits congrats to both!!!! :)

[vaughan]

LOL, thanks guys. Congrats Virus-X :icon_thumright:

[Virus-X]

cheers guys,

i think we could do with a bit more extra help on this project, currently we only have about 12 people crunching for us,

what i mean is would'nt it be nice for a member of our team to find the next worlds largest twin prime so come on guys even if its just a few work units per day it would also help boost our rank to position 5

[Evil-Dragon]

I'm running one machine on this at the moment, have yet to find any primes yet (i did find 1 prime on the one before though)

[NVM]

wow, totally jealous! nice to see real results from your efforts once in a while.

[Evil-Dragon]

I'm a titan prime finder! :D

Just submitted this entry from my email: http://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=79543

I can't believe i found one. I need to find more now...

[Nflight]

Congratulations there Evil-Dragon,, Job Well Done, since the last prime found it only took another week for you since your last remark!

Not Bad at All!

:wav: :blob3: :blob3: :blob3: :wav:

[vaughan]

Nice crunching there Evil-Dragon :)

Congratulations on becoming one of the Titan finders :icon_mrgreen:

Come on team we need some more. :icon_wink:

[Ototero]

Excellent Evil. Be the first to find 2.

[Virus-X]

sorry to dissapoint but i have allready found 3

i was thinking about gettin some more processing power, i allready have an x2 4600 on order and was thinking about getting a few old p3 machines now would these give me much of a increase in processing power? or is it not worth the money
p3's im looking at buying http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IBM-NETVISTA-P3-866MHz-256MB-RAM-CD-FDD-WIN2000-PRO_W0QQitemZ170085672321QQihZ007QQcategoryZ179QQr dZ1QQcmdZViewItem

[Scooter]

As best as I can tell at the moment(im still checking ot out) there have been 8 primes found that are on the top 500 list that were found by members of our team Vaughan(3) Virus-X(3) jmblazek(1) and last but not least Evil-Dragon(1)

[Evil-Dragon]

I'm pretty chuffed to be honest, feels like i've actually achieved something for once in a DC project.

I wish i could find the 10,000,000th prime in Gimps... i could do with £25,000 from the prize fund.

[Lagu]

Congrats Evil-Dragon! Great done!:)

[NeoGen]

Congrats to all our prime finders! :)

Evil-Dragon... it's a bit harder, it's not the 10,000,000th prime they're looking for, it's a prime (any prime) 10,000,000 digits long or greater.
It'll probably be found this year or in 2008.

[Evil-Dragon]

I know :(

I discovered this when i started running a WU and found it would take over a month on my X2 4200+

I think i'll stick with PrimeGrid primes for now. Still anit found another one yet, i guess it's just pot luck.

[Evil-Dragon]

I found another prime! Waiting for confirmation email :)

[Nflight]

I think your pot luck is happening faster and faster now! Congratulations...

:blob3: :blob3: :blob3: :wav:

[Evil-Dragon]

Ok it might very well be possible that i might just be double checking a prime found by someone else.. I hope i did find the prime though (wouldn't mind having 2 entries in the top 5000 prime database)

I guess i'll just have to wait and see if i get an email before jumping for joy.

[Scooter]

I dont see one for you on the status list waiting approval and it shows just the one from before on your list of primes ...I hope I just missed it and you do have another

[Steve Lux]

Ok, so your luck is used up and you'll never hit the lotto now.

[Evil-Dragon]

Received my confirmation email

Here's my new prime: http://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=79667

:wav:

Onwards for number 3!

[vaughan]

I've had 4 proven so far. :qgreenjumpers:

This is fun :)

[gamer007]

Yup, I'm gonna join too. :)

grrrr,BOINC!

Ditto here...

[drezha]

Grrrr Boinc and no linux clients

I was just speaking to Scooter on YIM and found that he is the holder of 6 Primes. His latest came this morning with an email. Listed here: http://www.geocities.com/harvey563/GeneralizedWoodallPrimes.txt
You will find him after # 97.
The exact number is listed as: 24810*97^24810-1
Scooter states he has two machines working on Woodall Primes and 2 working on Prime Grid. His mind works in mysterious ways and he is fashioning or devising new formulas to figure out the best way to find these super large numbers.

Way to Go Scooter, Great Effort: :wav: :blob3: :wav:

[gamer007]

Maybe a silly question, but how often are LLR WUs sent out? I requested more work and got more primegen ones.

[Evil-Dragon]

They've either reached the end of the current 333333 llr or they are producing more WU's. You can check on the LLR search status.

[vaughan]

Rytis posted this over at the PrimeGrid message boards:

"Gribozavr hasn't delivered sieved files. I asked him yesterday.

For now we are going to resort to crunching primegens and resent LLRs"

[Evil-Dragon]

If anyone wanted to get some TPS WU's then now is your chance since loads of WU's have been added to the database.

Don't forget to tick "Run test applications?" in PrimeGrid preferences otherwise you'll just get normal primegen WU's.

[Evil-Dragon]

I'm doing well with finding these Titan primes, i found another one!

My new prime: http://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=79735

:wav::wav:

[Bender10]

Nice going, Looks like you're on a streek!!

[Evil-Dragon]

So far it's one a week at my current rate of crunching. I'll never have as many as VirusX but then i don't have the machines like he does.

[Scooter]

I found 1 for PrimeGrid......it is m first for them.....I have others that on are listed but this is the first one I found for the project.....the other ones I have I found on my own .....

[vaughan]

Yo, well done Scooter. Its a nice feeling isn't it.

Primes being pretty uncommon beasties and that so it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling when you can see tangible rewards for your efforts on a project. :)

[gamer007]

1700 WUs and I haven't found 1 prime yet. I'm gonna be stuck on PG for a bit. :)
EDIT: Congrats Scooter. :)

[Bender10]

Nice Going Scooter!!!

[Lagu]

Yes, I agree with Bender10:)

Thats way cool... congrats...:icon_thumright:

[gatekeeper53]

Very very nice work!

[Nflight]

Nice Job Scooter, keep up the great work! :blob3:

[Evil-Dragon]

Good work Scooter. Another AMD User's prime finder!

[Nflight]

Titan in another level is what Vaughan achieved today July 16, 2017, He hit the goal many of us will never see, he rolled over 2,000,000,000 points in Prime Grid. That to me is a Titan accomplishment. :blob3::wav::allhail: We can't over look Brucifier at 120,000,000 as well as Tweeder at 900,000 and Paul at 6,000,000. Keep up the good work everyone! :blob3:

[NeoGen]

Congrats vaughan! That is an impressive achievement indeed! :) I probably won't see those numbers any time in the near future.

But Primegrid is a brutal project that really shows how many Mega Crunchers are there out there... 2 Billion credits is still not enough to enter the top 20 even. :-(

[Paul AMD]

Excellent achievement Vaughan.
