I think I know the answer to this... but want to
double-check to be sure...
While doing factoring... using ECM... factors up to:
15 digits is the equivalent of ~2^50...
20 digits is the equivalent of ~2^67...
25 digits is the equivalent of ~2^83...
30 digits is the equivalent of
If trial-factoring has been done up to 2^68... is it
possible to skip testing ECM curves for factors up to 15
and/or 20 digits... and go straight to testing ECM curves
for digits up to 25 digits???
Personally, I would go straight in at the 25+ digits level.
OTOH, if trial factoring has
