Cunningham ECM efforts

Well, now I can figure out Greg's username. It seems strange that on this forum there are so many users, especially the regulars, that use a login unrelated to what they are called or would like to be called. It's as if it were some kind of secret code that one has to learn (and wasted mental effort).

Anyway, the reason for assuming 1139+ was to be done as the octic was the 'gang of 31' list on the NFS@home forum, which listed its size as though it were. I certainly don't make that stuff up.

Um.

This is basically true everywhere on the Internet...

You just assume *so* much, and are mistaken so often, that one wonders how you continue to make these assumptions. Why do you think we care what your reason was for having the wrong conclusion?
How many times do you have to be mistaken before you realize that your opinions and assumptions aren't helping this forum?
You seem to think you are displaying quite a lot of knowledge and insight, but it's simply not the case. Maybe try phrasing your assumptions as questions rather than facts. It's ok to not be right all the time, and to learn from a forum- but you preach like you're an expert, when you're not.

There are a number of good reasons which you have yet to discover.

Perhaps your ignorance may be an imagination failure?

Brave of you to assume that I plan that far in advance.

Yoyo found a p70 overnight, thereby fully factoring 2,2278M.

Yep. But why is YoYo running 2,2206L when it has been already factored?

It happens. It has happened to me in the past.

There is no automatic way to remove work from yoto's work queue, nor should there be in my opinion. A mail to yoyo will generally work well but the latency can be quite long if he is busy.

Have you tried mailing him, providing the factorization as evidence of your bona fides?

Could he configure some sort of daily or twice-daily polling of factordb.com? It's not foolproof, as factors could certainly be reported to other sites, but it seems better than nothing.

No use asking here.

Why don't you mail your suggestion to hiim and report back on what transpires?

2,1109+ is done.
