A message from Stream regarding the Primorial project and the upcoming challenge:
Attention! More primorial sieving is required on GFN Server! Considering insane computing power added during challenges, it may happen that we'll reach 10M during primorial challenge. Next range (10M-25M) was added to the sieve file later and currently is not sieved completely. There is a gap in sieving between 15T-40T, i.e. inside relatively low range where lot of factors will be found. I planned to sieve it myself, eventually (80 days for a single 4070) but we're already progressing very fast and challenge will push leading edge even further. To make challenge most efficient and avoid testing of useless candidates which can be removed by sieving, please return back for few days to the primorial sieve on GFN Server. Current sieving leading edge is 1067T. At 1070T server will automatically jump back to 15T and return to old position after 40T. I hope that such a small range (25T) will take only few days with combined effort and complete sieve file will be ready before challenge.
