What a fast ride that was! Thanks! What would be the next step? Would it be increasing GFN-14 to b = 2G or at least higher to b > 400M? Or is that somewhat too demanding?

Or would it be taking lower GFN's to e.g. 5G?

Or a more controversial plan of taking GFN-15 from PG to PGS to 400M? (with the benefit that with Yves' new application GFN-15 can have a significant performance boost)

Or something else?

Is it an idea to post it to prplist instead?

For partial factorization see factordb

Sounds interesting GDB, just two questions:
1) Which sieving range (in P) were you checking? 2) And how do you have the full set of b-values that we are going to check within Primegrid?

Thanks!
Interesting that there are more GFN8 primes than GFN7 primes in your search range :)
And the accuracy of the estimates is quite remarkable.

As expected since F_3=257. For expectations about GFN x see the Cn value from Yves' website, or just type in the bmin/bmin and n value (http://yves.gallot.pagesperso-orange.fr/primes/stat.html)
