#1 PrimeGrid Change in Prime Reporting Procedure

Post by Newshound »

With the release of LLR2, we are seeing a dramatic increase in the number of primes found by users that don't give permission to report them. To decrease the number of primes stuck waiting for permission to report that we never receive, we will still wait nineteen days for the first prime found by a user, but only seven days for subsequent primes before moving to the double checker or reporting as anonymous. If you have primes reported to T5K through PrimeGrid already or have given permission to report and provided your name, this doesn't affect you. Otherwise, I strongly encourage you to change your PrimeGrid preferences to give permission.
