Hi all!
There should be the next milestone of GIMPS tomorrow (Oct 19) about
14:30 UTC. diamonddave should finish the double-checking of the last
exponent below 2M (according to the PrimeNet Assignments Report).
Regards and happy hunting!

It has taken him from 1 Jul through now to get to 1.5MM iterations. He
still has almost 500,000 iterations to go, a fourth of the number. While
we don't know how long

You missed one important step - the residues must match!

Hello again.
When I fit an exponential line to the 1st 37 mersenne prime's exponents
(since I believe that 6972593 is actually the 39th, but have no proof, so
I figured I'd leave it out), the line I got was y=1.7661e^0.301x (hope I
wrote that right), and r^2=0.9925.
I have believed for quite
