Dear Seqfans,
On www page
http://www.devalco.de/quadr_Sieb_2x%5E2-1.htm
we can read that number of primes of the form 2x^2-1 for x equal or less 
than 10^n is
8, 84, 815, 7922, 77250, 759077, 7492588, 74198995, 736401956,
7319543971, 72834161467
my result by Mathematica is
7,45,303,2202,17185,141444,1200975
disagreement of first position we can eliminated if we agree that 1 is 
prime but what with rest ???
Best wishes
Artur
