what i want for days to ask and actually i forget is:
Is this coin actually trying to prove wrong the Riemann hypothesis or it just finds primes?
And if not yet will those primes that it finds will actually help this cause somehow in the future and how?
cause i remember that this coin was about that but then something changed i think..maybe it was difficult to program or something...
As I understand it, Riecoin is not directly trying to prove/disprove the Riemann hypothesis. Rather it is seeking primes that will verify the Hardy-Littlewood k-tuple conjecture for k=6 (info:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/k-TupleConjecture.html)
Also, from
the NS article:
These "prime constellations" provide a way to test the Riemann hypothesis, which is one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems designated by the Clay Mathematics Institute in Providence, Rhode Island. A proof of the hypothesis is worth $1 million.
Riecoin can't find a proof, but it might find an example of a constellation that doesn't fit with Riemann and so offer clues as to how to disprove it although most mathematicians expect it to hold.
If so, what a sneaky and smart person.
