Credits and Awards

The Electronic Frontier Foundation is offering some prizes to the first person or group who discover some large prime numbers (see EFF Cooperative Computing Awards page for details).

"I consider that the appending of the symbol $ to the prime number search distorts the scientific thought. You can use my programs to search for huge prime numbers. If you were to find one, I would not claim the prize and all the money would go to you. But I ask to you to append my name to the discovery of a prime found with my programs in recognition of my work. I hope that my programs could help you to feel the inexpressible Eureka! Thanks to share your happiness by joining all the people who contributed to the discovery to the list of the discoverers.", Yves Gallot
