The basic rule is: if no substring of p matches any smaller prime of the form 4n+3, add p to the list. The basic theorem of minimal sets says that the minimal set is always finite.
The sequence b-file is complete except for the number (2*10^19153 + 691)/9, i.e., the decimal number consisting of 19151 "2"s followed by two "9"s. - Curtis Bright, Jan 23 2015

EXAMPLE
From Danny Rorabaugh, Mar 26 2015: (Start)
a(5) is not 23, even though 23 is the fifth prime of the form 4n+3, since 23 contains a(1)=3 as a substring. Similarly: 31 and 43 contain 3 and 47 contains a(2)=7. Thus a(5)=59.
This sequence contains 2099 since 2, 0, 9, 20, 09, 99, 209, 299, and 099 are not primes of the form 4n+3.
