This is a bit old, but Rieselsieve found a million+ digit prime a month ago:

yes, i noticed this prime first in the Top-5000 database.

According to PrimeGrid news they have found a new "321" prime. This will most likely put RPS on the 7-th place in terms of score...

At this point, I thought that Primegrid would get full credit for the prime. I think the 321search project stopped at n=5M. (Anyone know for sure?)

You are correct, RPS lead over 321search is 4993-2608 or a 2385 difference. Assuming half-credit, it would take a prime with a score of 4770 for 321search to overtake RPS, which an exponent of n=~5.4M should be.

But I'm sure it wouldn't take long for RPS to hop back into 6th again. :smile:

I hear PrimeGrid has now held off on 3*2^n-1 for the time being--now they're doing 3*2^n+1 until it's caught up with the former. So, that's probably what they found, in which case they would get full credit, because 3*2^n+1 is a project they're doing all on their own.
