What will we do when anyone finds a number of 10 million+ digits which
is prime?
Will everybody just leave the project because there is no prize to gain
any longer?
After the introduction of "search for 10 million digits number" this
could leave the project with quite a big hole, say from M14.xxx.xxx and
up till the exponent found.
It will be kind of difficult to find new volunteers that will use time
and electricity to fill the hole if nothing more than glory is won.
Will there be an other prize?
Will there be a new goal?
We have the 4 or 5 biggest primes, are anyone stressing us by using
another algorithm like the LL, have access to more CPU, working on a
bulletproof method of generating new primes?
