Let's Optimize P-1 for low exponents. TL;DR in post #1. More in posts 60 and 61. - Page 32

Finished 0.04M and 0.05M for factored components, currently working on 6.1M (unfactored) and 0.01M (factored). Would like to get 0.01M (factored) assigned to me

Wayne, you put cmpute's ranges just mentioned in the wrong place - they should be under 'Already Factored Exponents', not '10M +++' (obviously).

Oops

I'd like to take 2.0M to 2.3M next; starting in a couple weeks.
I see some ECM factoring there but almost NO P-1 work.
Can anyone who is also in on the new ECM project tell me if it has some sort of a range-assigned list I can check?

I'd also like to take 3.9M to complete the 3XM range.
Denial140 was there but seemed to stop end of April.
If you are still working there let me know.

This should keep me busy for about 2 months.

I have had some trouble with freezes after switching to linux when using lots of RAM - for the next 3 weeks or so I need to use my PC fairly actively so I don't want to risk this, but after that I intend to finish off stage 2 in 3.94M and 2.81M - I have already completed all of stage 1.

No range-assigned list that I know of. Could you use this?

I wouldn't worry too much about "poaching" ECM assignments. See Prime95's post here. ECM curves, even after a factor is found (as long as cofactor remains composite), still have value to the overall factoring effort.

Okay, thanks.
I'll leave 3.9 to you until I hear you are finished.
The rest will keep me busy long enough.
