On: New Mersenne Prime discovered (probably)

[noduerme]

amazing how many bitcoins have been discovered since then. Satoshi should've incentivized mining something useful.

[yreg → noduerme]

Are these high Mersenne primes all that useful?

[gnramires → yreg]

I've been thinking there should actually be more useful (or at least more interesting? :P) crowd computing stuff.

How about something like Superoptimizing (with correctness proofs) open source code?

[michaelcampbell → gnramires]

I think there's actually a fair number of them, but more would be nice. Lots of protein folding ones, and there used to be a weather/climate related couple.

[iamgopal → noduerme]

every new prime for new block, but not linear.
