[LODA] Project update: 120k programs milestone reached!
We celebrate a new project milestone: more than 120k programs and 47k formulas for integer sequences have been found so far. A big Thank You! and shout out to all contributors of the LODA project!
During the last weeks and months, the mining rate (number of found programs) decreased, but we maintain a steady pace. At this point it is difficult to estimate how the rate will develop. During the last days we found many new programs for decimal expansions of log-constants. This is encouraging as we hope to find more programs for decimal expansions of irrational numbers.
In terms of tooling, we spend quite some effort in machine-learning and GPU-based program mining. These approaches yielded already some first findings, but they are still in an experimental phase and not ready for an integration in BOINC. In the coming weeks, we plan to invest more time again into our core mining app to increase the mining rate and improve the quality of the existing programs. Please continue your support for the project!

[SRBase] base R622 Megaprime / proven
IDEA, a member of the team Idea Digital Imaging found a megaprime for base R622.
The prime 78*622^402915-1 has 1.125.662 digits and entered the TOP5000 in Chris Caldwell's The Largest Known Primes Database. With this find it is also proven the base!
