I would also not know what to do in one of the most epic moments in the history of math and CS!\n\nI suggest you to post your results everywhere! [except Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research). To make people take you seriously, you must post the numeral that disproves CC. It'll be  **H U G E** ,  so I recommend posting a [gist](https://gist.github.com) containing the full numeral, and then share links to that gist.\n\nTip for smaller size: hexadecimal is more compact than dec, raw-binary is more compact than hex. If you use hex or raw, disambiguate endianness.\n\nAnother tip, **ensure nobody else takes credit for it.** I know that sounds egotistical, but nobody wants to give countless hours of computing power for free, am I right?\n\n## Features\n\u003e [!note]\n\u003e The program assumes that numbers don't diverge to +♾️, it only searches cycles. So it could enter an infinite loop that allocates increasingly more memory, until an [OOM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_memory) panic happens.\n\nIt supports negatives. ~It also supports multiple bases/radices~ (not anymore, sorry 🙁, I might fix it later).\n\nThe rationale behind radix support, is that CC is more interesting and helpful to explore/experiment in **bases 2 \u0026 3** and any other base whose factors are 2 and/or 3, and bases whose factors are +-1 offset from 2 and/or 3, so I had to add all bases from 1 to 10 (and hexdec, because it's binary in disguise)\n\n## See also\n[My blog](https://rudxain.github.io/blog/post/Collatz)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frudxain%2Fcollatz_finder","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frudxain%2Fcollatz_finder","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frudxain%2Fcollatz_finder/lists"}
