Mersenne Prime Blocks

Let's celebrate the longevity of the blockchain technology with collectible cards inspired by a class of rare prime numbers called Mersenne primes. Mersenne primes are in the form of M = 2 ^P - 1 where the P itself is a prime number. There are only 51 Mersenne primes in existence with the first few ones being: 3, 7, 31, 127, ... .

The idea is to peg the P value of the Mersenne prime formula to the block numbers of the Binance smart chain(testnet though) and let the users collect any card whose P is >= most recent block mined. As an example, One can claim the first Mersenne prime block card once the block number 2 is mined. The cards are rare both in space and in time. Only 51 cards are available, with the last card being available to claim at late May, 2028(once block 82,589,933is mined).
The price of each card is chosen as to make it available for everyone, so each card is available to claim for P szabos(1e12 wei units).
The smart contract lives at address 0x802ee77358ff4dcc993d9d193d8dd511411362d1 on the Binance smart chain testnet.

The cards have got the following attributes:

• The hardware used to find the Mersenne prime
• Discovered by whom?
• The year the number is discovered
