%N Numbers k such that (5^k - 1)/4 is prime.
%C With the addition of the 19th prime in the sequence, the new best linear fit to the sequence has G=0.4723, which is slightly closer to the conjectured limit of G=0.56145948, A080130 (see link for Generalized Repunit Conjecture). [_Paul Bourdelais_, Apr 30 2018]
