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

1. Sorry I remembered the wrong guy, one of other 2 users(LordJulius, Dobri) must have the Geforce 3060 or 3060 Ti, there were several of them who also worked on some of the M168M exponents from my previous requests.

2. It was my alternative way saying that you wanted to finish TFs up all the unfactored M108.3M exponents from 2⁷⁶ to 2⁷⁷ on your own before the PRP front-wave reached there.

3. GPU72 reserved them because the front-wave PRP crowds already reached parts of the M108M range during early Dec 2021, so the GIMPS server wouldn't assign them out before TFs from 2⁷⁶ to 2⁷⁷.

I *really* dislike being told what my systems did. Particularly by an idiot.

GPU72 and Primenet have an API arrangement such that the former asks the latter what is available. And then it is reserved for further TF'ing. Once an hour.

I have a 3060 and have run some 168M exponents, but those came from the TF Gap list, tho I might have done a couple on spec.

Thanks for clarifying, I indeed mixed you up with Zhangrc. The Gap List was mainly from 2⁶² to 2⁶³.

Here's list of M168,***,*23 exponents that have had your previous works - M168004423, M168007223 , M168007423. All the way up to 2⁷⁸.

M168000823, M168005623, M168006023, M168012023, M168013423, M168017623, M168018623 also had your TF entries, and I continued further afterwards.

M168006523 went up to 2⁸¹, the highest on this list.

M168020323 wasn't located between M168,000,000 to M168,020,000, so it was barely outside of my previous requests, I guessed there could have been some mismanagements on my side or just purely miscommunications.

This is actually quite remarkable. You are actually a human.

I still don't understand your "upside". Clearly, you are working a "long game".

I've been competing with a user and a scenario that doesn't exist in reality since March 1st, 2022(Zhangrc with LordJulius' Geforce 3060, Try to finish up all the M108.3M exponents to 2⁷⁷.

1,430 total exponents(M168.3M and M168.4M) have been trial factored up to 2⁷⁷ as of today -> https://www.mersenne.ca/status/tf/0/0/4/16800. With enough upcoming efforts, it's possible for me to solely and completely take over the M168.4M subrange by noon, July 4th, 2022, UTC. It's nice that the whole range is not facing the front-wave crowds, so I get as much time as I want.

Another fun achievement was that I finally earned a PRP certification from team_inspector on at least 1 M168M exponent -> M168346723

All the unfactored M168,***,*23 exponents except M168004423 and M168007223 have received the recommended or better P-1 - https://www.mersenne.org/report_fact...99&tftobits=72

There are currently 1000 exponents which have been TFed to 2^74, about 1000 to 2^76. TFing them to 2^78 will find about 75-80 more factors.

There are 2,024 remaining unfactored M168.4M exponents with TFs from 2⁷⁶ to 2⁷⁷ slightly more than halfway done - https://www.mersenne.ca/status/tf/0/0/4/16800

Time and patience really paid out, I'm truly the dominant contributor(> SRBase + Oliver Kruse) within the entire M168M range now.

2013-01-25 - 2009-04-12 = 1384 days

2015-09-17 - 2013-01-25 = 965
2001-11-14 - 1999-06-01 = 897 days

As of now we are 882 days

It's 1,278 days without any newly discovered Mersenne Prime.

I hope I can get some PRP deals(such as ATH on M168026723) after the completion of M168.4M to at least 2⁷⁷, but let's wait until after the noon of July 4th, 2022, so I can say I've already done my part first.

However, I rarely do Mersenne numbers, and I'm mostly interested in factoring smaller numbers of general or special form (< 140 digits for GNFS, < 190 digits for SNFS, < 500 digits for ECM to t35, < 300 digits for ECM to t40) to help clear the composites on FactorDB.

I like to expand the projects into the adjacent areas after I finish the main parts such as: P-1 of all unfactored M168,***,*23 exponents. I completed all of them several days ago so I randomly picked 3 more M168M exponents to run the P-1 earlier today. I cannot to do this within the front-wave ranges, it'll step directly on to other people's reserved works.

I also enjoy to work more close-by an exponent that has had Ben Delo's previous PRP entry on it which is only possible in M168M because every surrounding exponent is free without the front-wave crowds.

Trial Factoring Progress Report: Every unfactored exponent from M168377123 to M168416293 have been worked up to at least 2⁷⁷.

Three porblems I suffer from with my tping is tranposition of two charactters, unwnated doubling of a key and ommission of a singel key.

Aw, you spoiled it for the audience.
