  Are these high Mersenne primes all that useful?

    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?

      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.

  every new prime for new block, but not linear.
