Is $2^i - 2293$ always composite for $i=1,2,3,...$ ?
I have known: if $2^i - 2293$ is prime, $i$ must have the form $i = 24 k+1$

$$|2^n-2293|$$ is composite for $1le nle 200,000$, so a prime of the desired form must have more than $60,000$ digits.

I still tend to believe that there are primes (in fact infinite many primes) of the form $2^n-2293$. The situation is similar with Wieferich-primes, for example. They are unbelievable rare, but is believed that infinite many exist. But $2293$ is very tough indeed. :)

It appears that $2293$ is interesting for another, related reason: primes.utm.edu/curios/page.php/2293.html says: "The smallest number $k$ for which there is no known prime of the form $kcdot2^n−1$." Note also that if one slightly changes the requirement, changing $2^i-2293$ to $2^i+2293$ then it becomes easy: $2^2+2293=2297$, a prime :) @user37238
