Oh yeah. So like I'm wondering if there's like a prime number finder; but like a decentralized fashion. Like a mining pool but for finding prime numbers.

That's an interesting idea. If all of the competition to find the next largest prime was cooperation instead...

"$150,000 to the first individual or group who discovers a prime number with at least 100,000,000 decimal digits"

Could be a fun Rust project to learn. But I don't know Rust so maybe too tricky.

But holy cow
