This is to announce a $100US prize to anyone that finds the next prime for Riesel Sieve.

Rules:

1. Finder must use LLRNet and reserve k/n pairs thru the official Riesel Sieve LLRNet system.
2. The prime must be in the form of k*2^n-1 and must be one of the 68 k's currently 'owned' by Riesel Sieve. Meeting requirement #1 should make this rule redundant.
3. Finder can live anywhere in the world. If you live in a country where it is illegal to recieve US funds or a country where it is illegal to ship funds to from the US, a third party will be used to transfer funds.
4. The prize is $100US but a suitable website of your choice may be substituted for the purchase of but not exceeding $100US in merchandise. i.e. www.newegg.com
5. In the highly unlikely event that more than one prime is found 'at the same time' the prime marked in the SQL database as turned in first will be awarded the $100US.
6. Any additional primes found meeting the same criteria above within 30 days of the $100US prime will be awarded a minimum of $50US to be paid as same.

First $100 bounty was claimed by Neologic. He promptly donated it all back to Riesel Sieve.

Now we are double checking a second prime. The bounty will be paid to both the prime finder and a lucky siever.

You could be next! Join up and claim the next bounty at Riesel Sieve by finding a HUGE prime or thru sieving:)
