Getting others to do the work on exponents I like (was: Trial Factoring Progress)

I typically finished TFs from 2⁷⁴ to 2⁷⁷, P-1, then further TFs. If 1 of the steps was missing when I tried to perform the next task, I sometimes looked up my submitted results during the past several days.

M168526123 had the TFs done to 2⁸¹ before P-1, I thought my P-1 could have wrongly gone to M168506123 based on the time stamps info, but I wasn't exactly sure about this case.

In other words, you don't really know that you mistyped an exponent at all.

In any case, you now know how to avoid that problem in future.

I plan to solo debut the M168.4M subrange around noon server time of July 4th, 2022 as the tier 2⁷⁷ monopoly tycoon and ready for mass P-1. 1,630 exponents remain at 2⁷⁶ with 51 days to go from now on.

There are a lot of PRP testers working on the front-wave exponents. It's impossible to run over the TFs as 1 single user without involving huge amount of poach process to own an entire subrange. Zhangrc could reserve only up to certain amount of M108.3M exponents for TFs from 2⁷⁶ to 2⁷⁷ last year. The trial factoring, P-1, PRP shouldn't be performed by 2 different users at the same time as quoted below by Prime95 earlier this year.

At least the full scale world war didn't break out, so I'm still able to finish up more M168,***,*23 exponents on the monthly basis.

Fortunately I'm not dead yet because the decimal based Mersenne crowds haven't shown a new Mersenne Prime smaller than M168M at the moment to prove me wrong despite it's only 3 exponents away from completing the M109M first time tests milestone.

If you somehow get a P-PRP result, "GIMPS prime discovery protocols" will come into action and a bunch of undisclosed trusted individuals will be tasked with running an LL test to verify the discovery.

I don't know whether you are still very active like last year or not, but drop by some jokes if you happen to visit my thread. I need your humor to keep up the momentum to finish up the monopoly blocks expanding mainly within the M168.4M subrange which I've started since several months ago.

What is wrong with you! You have some weird ideas about other people. And math. And probabilities.

You do realize you are the object of my humor, right? I am laughing at you, not with you.

Whatever the hell this even means?

We promise you: no one else besides you cares so much about this range.

For PRP make that a 100% chance - at least, until your pet ranges are in the wavefront. I reckon that's going to be a while. If you want to do a PRP on an exponent of your choice (after first doing enough TF and P-1), AFAIK you will be free to do so.

For LL make that a greater than 100% chance. No first-time LL test is going to be done by anybody - including you - on any exponent, unless it has tested PRP with CERT or (if the "cheap" certification process fails) a DC.

... nearly, unless a specific exponent appears in the Predict M52 thread, or elsewhere as some dubious claim of a prime. I routinely refute those with PRP/GEC/proof/cert. I'm currently working through PRP DC of the last outstanding that were done before the advent of PRP proof & cert capability. There are also some monsters undone or not even feasible to do.
