Title: Primecoin Speculation - EFF offering $150.000 to the first group to discover... Post by: Skinnkavaj on July 24, 2013, 10:15:45 PM Do you guys know how useful this currency will be in the future?
We are just getting started. Take a look at this article: http://bitcoinmagazine.com/primecoin-the-cryptocurrency-whose-mining-is-actually-useful/ Then take in mind that the Electronic Frontier Foundation is offering a $150,000 award to the first person or group to discover a 100 million digit prime number! Read more about Math history and prime number rewards here: http://mersenne.org/default.php Questions: Will this reward go to Sunnyking or to miners? Does Sunnyking deserve the nobel price of 2013?

Title: Re: Primecoin Speculation - EFF offering $150.000 to the first group to discover... Post by: MagicSata on July 24, 2013, 10:22:25 PM primecoin will never find this due to the fact that it dosen't look for big primes, it looks for chains of primes look up prime chains on wikipedia

Primecoin won't find Primes of that size. Technically not doable... It will only break records in finding new prime chains... but unfortunately there is no prize to win...
maybe Sunny has to make Primecoin2... Title: Re: Primecoin Speculation - EFF offering $150.000 to the first group to discover... Post by: Sunny King on July 24, 2013, 10:46:00 PM No need to hang on the EFF prize. That's right primecoin is not going to break the largest know prime record held by GIMPS, so the EFF prize is safe from us. But it doesn't mean that particular prize is all that there is to the primes. Nor is $1m prize worth a big fuss about considering primecoin network broke $1m market cap within 2 weeks of its release ;)

If you are new to bitcoin/cryptocurrency, the real question is 'what is money'? Title: Re: Primecoin Speculation - EFF offering $150.000 to the first group to discover...

I would like to have a look at Primecoin charts. Thanks. Title: Re: Primecoin Speculation - EFF offering $150.000 to the first group to discover...
