Happy to know Dirk likes primecoin and I just sent him a note. I have also contacted Henri and Jens as well  Smiley

Most people only know about the largest known prime record (aka the k=1 record on Jens' list) which is dominated by GIMPS (Mersennes). That's why Jens' record book is important so that people realize that Mersennes are not the only primes of interest to mathematicians.

Good work getting a hold of him. This is the type of people who will give primecoin great press and media attention. Get him in contact with Sunny ASAP!

I sent an email to Dirk Augustin who maintains this page: http://users.cybercity.dk/~dsl522332/math/Cunningham_Chain_records.htm

Hello,
thx for informing me.
 
I was not aware of Primecoin until now. It sounds very interesting especially as it is using prime chains like those I have been searching for more than ten years until now.
 
I will check the records as soon as possible and update my webpage accordingly.
 
Congratulations to everyone involved in these great record improvements.
 
Best regards,
Dirk Augustin

Now the 12 chain records are rolling in  Grin

Code:
New World Record!
 Block 74722, Chain 2CC0c (12 primes), 97 digits
 Previous record: 62 digits
Does that show up in debug.log?

is that that only way to check on linux?

Not in debug.log. That output is from the Python program I pasted a couple posts back. The code should work cross-platform, since it's Python.

You're welcome.

And we have two new records:

1CC0a (10 primes)
Block 56141, 114 digits (previous 113 digits, by Primecoin network)

2CC0a (10 primes)
Block 56040, 111 digits (previous 109 digits)

Nice! Congrats to whoever broke this new record. and Congrats once again Sunny for a successful new World Record!

For those that do not understand the implications of primes on real world situations:

Its quite comical to think they are useless and don't tie to any benefit once you fully understand. The implications are yet out of our grasp much like parts of space research and particle physics. But the more patterns and links between primes are found, the closer we are to cracking the seamingly random nature of the numbers. Why does this matter? Many things in the natural world use primes - but why and how they know are not yet understood. So it has a close connection to understanding some of the natural laws of our world.

coooool, so do you get the money prize?

The real cash awards are for finding Mersenne primes (the longest of which is over 17 million digits long). Primecoin is not searching for these, if it were then blocks would likely be months or even years apart. Primecoin is dealing with much smaller digit numbers to keep transactions moving.

No one claims any of the records? I think it is quite possible some of the privkey have been destroyed with intances.

For sure, which is very sad indeed. Like making an important scientific discovery and deleting the results. Cry

I don't think those guys with 100 or 200 VPS were mining to get some sort of prime record Smiley I don't think they will go check their addresses, even if they still could Smiley
mined with more than that and checked every address so far.. but no records unfortunately Smiley
