    I find it quite amazing that you have an admin key which is a mersenne prime wiht 10^12 digits (ie. 1 trillion digits), when the largest mersenne prime that has been discovered to this date (and only tentatively as well) is the 43rd mersenne prime: 2^(30402457) - 1 which, incidentally, only has 9,152,052 digits (ie. a LOT LESS than a trillion). You should really publish your results, it would make you famous.

    Moreover, I can't figure out why such a security-conscious person such as yourself would tell the entire world that your admin key is a mersenne prime with 10^12 digits; IF there really was a mersenne prime with this number of digits, it would be quite simple to figure it out since the actual values of mersenne primes are public knowledge (plus there wouldn't be too many with that specific length, due to relative density of primes for large integers, and also the fact that it would be one heck of a discovery in the first place).

    Before trying to impress others with your "knowledge", try to understand what you are speaking about in the first place.
