COMMENTS
If we instead list the least k >= 1, for which Jacobi symbol J(k,2n+1) is 0, we get A090368.
It is easy to see that every term is prime. Because the Jacobi symbol is multiplicative as J(ab,m) = J(a,m)*J(b,m) and if for every index i>=1 and < x, J(i,m)=1, then if J(x,m) is 0 or -1, x cannot be composite (say y*z, with both y and z less than x), as then either J(y,m) or J(z,m) would be non-one, which contradicts our assumption that x is the first index where non-one value appears. Thus x must be prime.
