good news!

Yeah I just noticed it as well and was about to post :)

Whoa dang

now, to determine which one it was....

Looks promising! No hardware errors were detected during the run. The computer in question has also reported a dozen or so composite results without hardware errors.

I've emailed Curtis Cooper to send a copy of the last save file. I'll then re-run the last few thousand iterations. If that also reports a prime, then we almost certainly have a winner!

I've also emailed several others looking for big iron to run a verification using mlucas or glucas. I suppose a CUDALucas run would be good too. Anyone with a GTX580 or 590 that would care to give it a go? Batalov?

Holy crap yeah!!

EDIT: could you tell us the general range of it? ex 50M or 45M... or is that not "allowed"?

I'm ready for DC, just let me know.

Lightning strikes THRICE! WOW!!!

Now would be a good time to re-read all old threads to understand that asking is futile. ;-)

we will know in a few day, no need to get angtsy!
