[seqfan] when is 1234...n a prime?

[Neil Sloane]

To Seq Fans:

Consider the sequence with nth term equal to the
concatenation of the decimal numbers 1234...n (https://oeis.org/A007908).
When is the first prime? The comments in A007908 say
that there should be infinitely many primes, and that there
are no primes among the first 64000 terms.
If you would like to help with this search, you could leave a comment
in A007908 saying that there are no primes among terms X through Y,
or, of course, that n = Z gives a (probable) prime, which would be
pretty exciting.
