Just saw the news about Pavel Atnashev's prime! Congrats!
https://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=133721
Very exciting to find one missed as a result of adaptive replication. Probably the first of many with the smaller n values coming up soon.
I wonder how many will be found, and I wonder how many of those will be large enough for T5K.

Fantastic, thank you Stream!
I'm all set up; ready to switch my home heating fuel back to small GFNs.
This search is exciting too because any Sophie Germain or Cunningham Chain of the second kind primes found will end up quite high in the Top 20 for those forms.
Best of luck to all!

Nice work, and congrats to you both, Robish and Dthonon! Looks like McDaWisel got a shiny new badge this tdp too!
I have found a few primes this tdp, but all GFN-15 ;)
Keep it up and good luck!

I intend to stay on this and not participate in the challenge. :-) Iwant to see it finished before the NewYear.
Same! :D
It looks like the last set of tasks were generated within the last hour or so. Onto the home stretch now. Only ~6600 tasks left to go!

Wow, nicely done! Also; that is a huge gap between the last two terms; nice to see you continued past 100,000P ;)

70% done!
Estimated date of completion shifted to 2022. Can we still finish this project in 2021? To achieve this, we must test 600K candidates per day. Our current rate stays stable around 400K candidates for a while.
Thank you for the update Stream!
It has definitely slowed down a bit, but I'm still on it with everything I've got, and will stick around to the very end. Would be excellent to finish in 2021, but good also to finish before TdP.

Nice one! Congratulations McDaWisel!
Just saw this pop up on a BOINC Manager; time to switch one PC over to 321 to find the partner to this one ;)

I hear ya both on this one; pretty sweltering in this neck of the woods too. I've stopped CPU crunching on two rigs, have switched two GPU rigs over to GFN-15, which is about half the power of GFN-13, and am just about to start swapping parts around and moving the hottest rigs into my kitchen where I have a vent fan.
Got the same overtaxed-grid problems here too and peak hour rates are going a bit bonkers, so I'm looking at some of those BOINC settings for pausing crunching at certain times of the day. Fun times in BOINCtopia XD
Hope everyone is well otherwise :)

25% done!
25% of this search is an equivalent of 400M range. An original GFN-13 search, which was first project on GFN server, tested candidates up to 400M, and it took more then 3 years. Now we did same range in just a 46 days!- thanks to new software, deeper sieving and, of course, your astounding participation!
There are no new special prime sequences (chains or progressions) yet.
And another 7% in the last 7 days! At this rate we will be finished by the end of August. If enough people pile in, and we double this rate, we could finish GFN13 by the GFN17-Low challenge ;)
Either way; this is some amazing progress!
