And the last fun fact to add is that it almost went unnoticed. I have run out of my worktodo, and that triggered the setting in the prime.txt that turned off the PrimeNet usage, so the factor, being found after these events, has not been reported immediately. If I didn't notice that nothing was being reported, I wouldn't have found it, and it would have been buried in the results files until deletion.

Is there a way to not get work from PrimeNet but not quit the PrimeNet after work is done? Basically, I want a monologue relationship with PrimeNet; I talk to him, but he doesn't reply :grin:.

I believe this would mean I'd have to manually upload every once in a while, and when I would upload, it would, in the process of contacting the PrimeNet, get some assignments back, which I don't want. Or not?

Maybe it's got a problem with the exponent P=103695649.

2004109083829816426995592902 = 2 * 3 * 281 * 29917 * 47269 * 8106041 * 103695649, so the biggest factor is 103695649, the exponent, which is bigger than B2=20264000.

Is it possible it's not accounting for the special form of Mersenne factors, which allows ignoring P as a factor of Q-1 (Q is the factor found) and only using the general rules for factors found by the P-1 method?

Your 98.x factor directs to 83.x factor and 101.x factor directs to 98.x factor.

Fixed, thank you very much! (I didn't edit the quote in your post, only my post). I got lost in so many factors and links. But in this case, the 101 is not anymore "smooth". My mistake. As they were not yet on mersenne.ca at the time, I wrongly remembered their size (which is displayed when reporting), and I assumed the 101 was the smooth one (the "smoothness" is deduced from the amount of credit given, you don't need to do any calculation or to see the k value to know your factor is very smooth, hehe).

Glad you're getting mileage (or whatever the SI equivalent is) from the 500K range. I only found one factor from the whole 520K-525K range (mentioned in a previous post in this thread) using the worktodo-generating Python script.

I am searching all factored exponents starting from 500,009 and increasing their bounds to 10,000,000. For the next ones, I switched to 20,000,000, which means fewer exponents per day, but a higher chance of factors. Based on the results, I will decide whether to switch back or continue with 20 million.

I am planning on getting to 1M exponents someday, where I've already started P-1, but I went to 500K because I thought those should also be lifted.

I've moved up to the 5.21M range for my next batch (based on the number in my user name), so there shouldn't be any conflicts between us. There's less ECM in that range too, so the B2's generated by that Python script should be higher. (I noticed your B2 was a bit higher than mine, and I was getting slightly under 1 GHz-day credit on my P-1 tasks.)

It depends on the allocated RAM, and other things, so allowing ~2.5 GB of RAM per worker probably makes the difference.

Meanwhile...
Oh, you generated your B2s yourself. I let Prime95 generate them. So that's probably the main difference.

You can simply use this tool on mersenne.ca [URL="https://www.mersenne.ca/morefactors.php"]here[/URL]. You can set your exponent range and B1, and it will generate worktodo lines for you. You only need to delete those which already had a bigger B1 done. Or use a script for them...

No, I used [url]https://github.com/keisentraut/prime95-optimal-worktodo[/url], which leaves B2 blank (letting mprime determine it). However, it also adjusts the TF field in the worktodo based on the ECM level, so I think I was getting lower B2's since there was more ECM work done (and thus a higher implicit TF level). My max RAM allocation for that instance is 32 GB, and it never got close to that while I was doing that range.
