OEIS A00059: Numbers k for which 2k^4 + 1 is prime

Join us as we explore OEIS A00059—the sequence of integers k such that 2k^4 + 1 is prime. We trace how A00059 connects to A00068 and A03796, walk through a concrete example, and discuss why these interlinked sequences illuminate prime patterns and open questions (like whether there are infinitely many such k). Along the way we’ll touch on cryptography and why primes matter beyond pure theory, and invite you to dive into the OEIS yourself.
