This is a good idea.
Anyway, from the Elevensmooth project page:
Code:
Level 8 will be eight candidates trial factored to 74 bits.
Level 7 was seven candidates trial factored to 73 bits.
Level 6 was six candidates trial factored to 72 bits.
There will be nine steps from Level 7 to Level 8: getting an eighth candidate to 73 bits and getting each candidate to 74 bits.
The goal is to reach Level 8, then Level 9 and so on.

Having most candidates levelled at 71 bits would be a valid subgoal, as there is less work to do.

 2005-11-01, 17:39 #3 em99010pepe     Sep 2004 2·5·283 Posts Luigi, I found that I can take a number up to 71 bits in less than 24 hours. So looking at your idle exponents stats page you have 48 numbers left to take up to 71 bits. If I bring more power to the project I can achieve this goal in less than 48 days or until the end of the year. Carlos

So you are welcome!

The rest of the reserved numbers are stopped since 2004 and 2005-04, so I suppose this is a dead project. Anyone would like to comment? Am I wasting my time with this project.

This is not a dead project, it's "a whimsical project" (C) Wblipp. People apply when they have time or a new release of the factoring program comes out.
I'm trying to clear up the reserved exponents for more than 1 year.

Easier exponents have been checked before, and maybe we'll release a new batch starting at 60 bits as soon as most of the old ones will reach 70 bits.

Your discover has been inserted on the stats page, thank you.
