The original definition ("Primes p such that the minimum value of |p-2^x|, x>0, is also a prime") produces A188677, not the terms shown here. - N. J. A. Sloane, Apr 01 2011.
The mystery of this definition was solved by Robert G. Wilson v, Jul 06 2014, who also remarks that if instead we ask for odd primes, and therefore the index is one less than that for all primes, the sequence would begin: 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 37, 61, 233, 257, 1553, 2879, 4919, 6389, 7621, 8081, 35593, 37951, 96263, 206419, ..., . If we count 1 amongst the primes (A008578), then the sequence would begin: 2, 3, 5, 11, 17, 167, 193, 197, 433, 4111, 9173, 42929, 95279, 98897, 139409, 142567, 228617, ..., .
