this is all very cool, but i fail to see the need for prime numbers this large, other than so you can brag about the record to your fellow nerds of course.
(These aren't particularly large for prime numbers. They're big  for prime number chains.) Some mathematicians may find this data useful. That's already infinitely more valuable than the results of bitcoin's sha256 / litecoin's scrypt random proof-of-work statements outside of the context of the currency.
