Hello,
let me introduce myself.

I'm the owner of the Cunningham chain world record list and have been informed by one of your members about Primecoin and the new Cunningham chain records which were generated in this project.

I want to congratulate everyone who participated in Primecoin and especially those who actually found these new great records!

I'm very glad to see that the Primecoin project increased the interest in searching for prime chains, something I'm doing now for over 10 years.

For updating my record list I will need as much details as possible, e.g. who discovered the record chains and when. In addition I would appreciate to get a short description of Primecoin (project and software used) which i can put on my webpage.

You should PM "Sunny King", the primecoin developer. You ain't seen nothing yet, once the GPU miners are ready thing are going to get crazy.

How are new records verified, is their some code that can do a test against this? I was going to set up a site specifically for primecoin found ones and display this data free for all, but have no idea to know if beat a record for cunningham 1 or 2 or bitwin..

any ideas?

Thanks Dirk nice to see you here :) I am still adding command to help ease your work of updating the records.

Best Regards!
