David Broadhurst writes (11 Sep 2014):  (report abuse)
OpenPFGW found that 2*47^n+1 is prime for n=346759 and that the only smaller positive integer yielding a prime is n=175. Proth.exe found that the order of 2, modulo p=2*47^346759+1, is a prime power, namely (p-1)/2. With 579816 decimal digits, p more than doubled the number of digits of the previous record for this form of prime, which was 2*827^98511+1, with 287407 digits. I thank Wilfrid Keller for encouragement, over the last 7 years, to find a large prime of this form.

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.
