k = 54767: FIFTH PRIME FOUND!
(posted by louis helm)
Wednesday, 25 Dec 2002

At 2016 GMT on 22 December 2002, SB's fifth prime discovery was reported to the block server! The prime, 54767?2^1337287+1, has been verified, and is the largest yet. At 402,569 decimal digits, this prime is the 8th largest in the world! SB is now a Top 10 prime hunting machine!

Congratulations to Peter Coels (craco) of team EBT, our newest prime discoverer from Belgium!

Like many of our users, Peter has been involved in other distributed computing projects. "I was getting slightly bored with SETI." Peter has been running SB for the past few months on 8 computers (2 at home, 6 at work) and was recently seen posting on the EBT forums that ".. If only one of the EBT-gang could find a prime, that would be great... ". Merry Christmas Peter -- you got your wish. 🙂

The decimal expansion will soon be with the expansion of all previous primes now in the public documents section.

Merry Christmas everyone. Have a great holiday with your loved ones and a happy New Year in 2003!

Wishing you the best,
-The SB Team

yeah, tob is a definately effective project (how many primes have Primes95 found??? And with how much CPU power in what time? Unfortunately I have problems running it on my old box 🙁 )
 
At least TA found one of the primes so far and there are 12 more to find if there are primes for the remaining 12 numbers. And this one was the 8th largest prime number found so most likely any found from here on out will be larger.
 
Woohoo 🙂


Another Prime found 😀

Congrats to craco 🙂



Next one is mine...i hope 😉🙂


We're now TOB 😉
