SourceOn August 23rd, a computer reported finding a new Mersenne prime to the server! Because I was on vacation, verification did not begin until the 26th. Verification should take roughly 2 weeks to complete. Check back here for updates!

Ooooh!
Will the number have more than 10 million digits? That's the question...
2 weeks puts it around the 10th. /me wonders if he fudged the timetable so people wouldn't bug him about it as much.Because I was on vacation, verification did not begin until the 26th. Verification should take roughly 2 weeks to complete. Check back here for updates!
Either way, in 2 weeks we'll know.
Myself and the other person doing the verifications are around 40% complete now, so a little more than another week left to go...
I don't know how that Mersenne Prime Project exactly works, but how do you get a WU/prime to verify? "per accident" or voluntary? I'm just curious...
