Title: what is a good getprimespersec rate that worth trying?
Post by: Kujmandosz on July 09, 2013, 06:49:10 PM
i am getting about 30-31 primes per sec. What does that mean. Should I leave it on or just quit?

Leave it on.  PPS is not a very reliable indicator of anything, except maybe that you are actually mining.

This early in the game there is a lot of luck involved. My Core 2 Duo laptop has found 6 blocks in about 20 hours, while my i5-3570K has found one.

yeah, but this coin is special
sure will have some value in future.

like bitcoin in 2009

A coin that 80% of 'miners' arent even sure of what rate they are mining or even IF they are mining. Yeah, solid release. I am pretty sure that the only people actually 'profiting' are friends of Sunnyking.

Your arguments are so useless I don't know where to begin, TheSwede.

What makes this coin more valuable than any of the other alts?

Sorry but I haven't really been following up with the alts now since there's so many of them.

Do feel free to begin anywhere. Seems 90% of everyone asking is getting 0-1 block and there are now what, 5000 blocks solved.

This coin is "valuable" because it's actually not a regular clone Altcoin, but instead it is using it's hash power as a mathematical experiment to find prime numbers.  There is no Scrypt or SHA-256 running, so as of right now anyways, there is no mining software created, the only thing you can do is allow your wallet to CPU mine for you.

That and the developer is the same developer that created PPCoin which was the first coin to start using PoS instead of relying on PoW as a way to secure the blockchain.

TheSwede: That means there are a lot of people mining. I got 4 blocks myself in about 15 hours time, on a quadcore AMD.
I just don't see the problem. Your argument is "nobody knows the rate at which they are mining, SO it's a scam". This is not a logical conclusion.

Maybe it has to do with the kind of math involved. Maybe with something else I don't know about. Maybe you should find that out, instead of blaming some seemingly proper developer of scamming/premining.
