  1. Re:Forgive my ignorance on 45th Known Mersenne Prime Found? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm pretty sure that in the past, the government would pay money for large prime numbers to use for encoding purposes. I don't know if they still do but they used to pay 1000 dollars (I think it was 1000) for primes over 100 digits.
