So I haven't really had time to follow this at all, due to school and whatnot. Heck, I didn't really even know about the hard fork until after it happened (good idea & I like the implementation as well thus far btw).
But... why is it that if Riecoin has broken the 6-tuple record, that I don't find anything on the first 5 pages of Google about it? Was there some sort of press release prepared and sent out? I feel like this is the kind of thing that should have been fairly highly publicized - at least a few places would have picked it up, even if you did up a fairly simple release and just shotgunned it everywhere even remotely relevant.
Of course, it's possible I've missed something. In which case feel free to tell me to go back to lurking.
I can't help but agree.
Now it's proven to work it would be great to see some news articles posting news about it and telling people how they can get involved in the next super block to break this current world record.
When is the next superblock?
No doubt the world records breaking by the Riecoin Project is an impressive computational feat. And I think partly the lack of deserving (general) press releases was overshadowed by benchmark of finding largest prime number such as the EFF Cooperative Computing Awards (See:
https://www.eff.org/awards/coop) More importantly these world records certainly do help and provided deeper understanding of prime number structure (or its randomness) for solving the CMI Millennium Prize Problems - Riemann Hypothesis (See:
http://www.claymath.org/millennium-problems)
Ultimately media attention will gain its traction as more (... and bigger) world records breaking were contributed and came from the Riecoin Project. Everybody can help achieve all these...so start and keep mining away. The first superblock was 160848 and their set should be
