Also, primes p such that p^2 does not divide 2^x+1 for any x>=1.

A prime p cannot divide 2^x+1 if the multiplicative order of 2 (mod p) is odd. - T. D. Noe, Aug 22 2004

Differs from A049564 first at p=6529, which is the 250th entry in A049564 related to 279^32 =2 mod 6529, but absent here because 6529 divides 2^51+1. [From R. J. Mathar, Sep 25 2008]
