Fellow prime number hunters,
I was wondering...Primenet offers a reward for the next Mersenne prime
found, but are there any other interesting things we could offer rewards
for?
Perhaps for the smallest factor of some Mersenne number or something?
Reason I ask is that I may be interested in fronting some money for such an
endeavor, in order to spur some more interest.
I had considered pooling some money with what Primenet offers, but I wanted
to see if there was some other direction to go that would be just as
interesting but not necessarily involves finding the next prime.
I think this idea was discussed previously but I don't remember for sure.
Aaron
