PrimeGrid writes (9 Nov 2016):  (report abuse)
This is the twelfth prime found by the combined Seventeen or Bust / PrimeGrid effort. Five more to go to prove that k=78557 (Selfridge, 1962) is the least odd integer such that all of the numbers k*2^n+1 are composite for integers n > 0 (that is, to show that 78557 is the least Sierpinski number). As of the time of its finding, this is the largest non-Mersenne prime known and the only non-Mersenne prime over four million digits. It is the largest prime ever found at PrimeGrid.

For more details, see the Official Announcement.

Verification data:

The Top 5000 Primes is a list for proven primes only. In order to maintain the integrity of this list, we seek to verify the primality of all submissions.  We are currently unable to check all proofs (ECPP, KP, ...), but we will at least trial divide and PRP check every entry before it is included in the list.
