[jopvhvwa] Pierpont primes

Here is a list of the 25394 Pierpont primes less than 2^10000, in order by magnitude.  Pierpont primes are primes of the form 2^x * 3^y + 1.

We also looked for prime powers, but did not find any large ones.

Previously.

Other than Fermat primes, Pierpont primes have the smoothest possible factorization of p-1, so they are aesthetically the opposite of safe primes.
