I'd just like to get a clarification on some files
I downloaded from the Entropia FTP.
Re the file of exponents, and how far they have
been trial factored.
I extracted a range using the decomp program. Each
exponent has a number by the side, but I am unclear to what this number
refers.
Is it
a) The bitlength of the K value alone i.e. a bit
length of 32 would indicate all K values 1 to (2^32) have been tested
?
or
b) The bitlength of 2 x K x Exp + 1 as computed
?
Just to save me repeating previously done
work.
Thanks
Dave
