i have had 2 more primes since n=3k
744*589^4026+-1
654*589^5638+-1
i am now tested upto n=20k
this lack of recent primes is getting frustrating

I don't blame you for being annoyed. If there's one thing I've personally found with the very large bases, it's that you can go into extremely long stretches of no primes after a large grouping of primes. I'm sure Ian can relate the same experience.

Yup, the galactic voids are all over the place. I guess this is part of the exercise. Not only can a pattern of primes be found (hopefully) but also a pattern of voids would also be useful.

i worked out the probability using your odds or prime spreadsheet and i should have found 1.2 primes in the range 5k-10k and also 1.2 primes in the range 10k-20k
this was based on data after the primes just mentioned
i found the prime for 5k-10 before the analysis but am still owed the prime for 10k-20k
i suppose i was being lucky before
cant wait for finding another prime

Riesel base 707 proven with prime:

12*707^10572-1

No, I did not reserve it. I just took a bunch of bases that had a few k left where n < 25000 and are taking them to n = 25000 as part of my testing for the upcoming PRPNet release. I will avoid stepping on toes by not posting primes for bases reserved by others.

Riesel base 1019:

the only k=2 is at n=91k (so about n=910k for base 2)

no prime yet. continuing.
