Does anyone know if whoever's reserved these is still actually wasting his time on LLing these eliminated ones, or is he dropping them as they're being factored? (If he's still continuing on them, then I'd say he really didn't know what he was getting into when he started work on these huge exponents! :smiel:)

Hopefully, he/she has their machine set to report updates to the v5 server every 14-28 days. The v5 server should report back to Prime95 to stop work on that expo. Prime95 (25.x of course) would then abandon that number. Then Prime95 and v5 would then negociate a new assignment, likely a 100M digit.

Monday I plan to bring another core on board for this range. It will do all of the range above 2^70, while I have another doing all of the 67-70, and a third bringing things up from the basement to the 67 or 68 range.

Other workers are welcome. If you are letting one core do LL, you can TF with the other nicely.

Really? I would think v5 would try to assign a "normal-sized" number...

Anyway, that exponent is now listed as factored on v5. No mention of ANONYMOUS any more.

If they chose a 100M number, they likely didn't change their options, so between Prime95 and v5, the 100M option will reign.

yep that happens when the factor is submitted.

But how could PrimeNet remember a "100M option" when there is no 100M option? Wouldn't it just see the 100M tests as cherry-picked exponents that are simply deviations from the "standard routine" of whatever that user has left set as their default? For example, recently I "cherry-picked" a 17M doublecheck test on v5 by manually inserting it into worktodo.txt, and as soon as it was done my machine went write back to its normal work preference of trial factoring work.

yep that happens when the factor is submitted.

I've noticed that whoever's crunching these would at least appear to be updating their progress with GIMPS reasonably frequently (at least, when I checked it yesterday, the 25th, all the ones I saw said 10/24 and 10/25 on the Exponent Status page--presumably that means the last time Prime95 updated progress to PrimeNet). So, maybe there's still a reasonable chance that this guy is getting the bad news (good news? ) about his exponents after all.

There is an option, if you log in to the v5 server.

It shows up in the v25 client when it talks to the v5 server, too:

is that a 25.7 addition

Ah, I see now. As henryzz said also, is this new in v25.7 (and presumably added to the server at around that time)? I personally haven't had any reason to look in that drop-down box on the v5 web pages since before 25.7 was released, and I also haven't yet gotten around to upgrading to 25.7 yet (still on 25.6), so that would explain my ignorance in regard to this.
