If 2n+1 is a dual Sierpiński number, and if 2n+1 cannot be made prime by flipping any of the ones in its binary representation to zero, then a(n) = 0.
2131099 is Sierpiński, and it is conjectured that the Sierpiński numbers are the same as the dual Sierpiński numbers. Furthermore 2131099 is the smallest Sierpiński number whose binary representation has the property stated above. If the dual Sierpiński conjecture holds, and if A076336 is complete up to 2131099, then a(1065549) = 0 and this is likely the first 0 in the sequence.
Every prime is in the sequence.
Proof: Since 2 = a(1), we may assume prime p is odd. Take k so 2^k > p, and consider 2n+1 = p + 2^k. Then p has Hamming distance 1 from 2n+1. On the other hand, if q < p is prime, then q + 2^j < p + 2^k if j <= k while q + 2^j >= q + 2*2^k > p + 2^k if j > k, so q can't be at Hamming distance 1 from 2n+1. Thus p = a(n). (End)

For n = 4, 2n+1 = 1001_2, and the smallest prime with Hamming distance 1 is 1011_2 = 11.
