Hello,

So far, through the Proth Prime Search, I've found a total of 8 primes. However, I've only found one of them as the initial finder. What determines whether or not you're doublechecking? Is there a way to increase the number of initial tests? Am I possibly submitting the work slowly? I have to ask b/c a 7:1 ratio seems strange. I thought it was random, 50/50.

Thanks,
Chris

Here's a thread dealing with reporting of wu's. The difference in initial vs double checker is who turns in the finished wu first. Hope this helps.
