Sometimes I wish that after the creation of the first ford car, no other car companies had developed. It would have been much better for everybody.

Does anyone know if there is a prime coin command to see just your immature balance or immature transactions?

You can't really consider using amazon equipment for a lil cash, "earned".... like... AT ALL!   I wouldn't call it stealing either.. but it is an unfair advantage to the common folks with decent machines that want to mine for the greater good or to support a dev.. or to make some profit's.. but when it's a solo mine only coin.. that nobody can mine anymore.. because of a small group of people that found per hour access to cpu's.. sure great idea.. but so were asics..  look what that did to bitcoin... how many of you without asic's are mining for bitcoin?  none?

""""refrain from making more negative statement directed at victim here"""

because of a small group of people that found per hour access to cpu's

Now that's just naughty! Who's stealin 'dem blocks!  


I hope the block size becomes 0.000145 XPM by next week, so we've got a pre-manufactured scarcity on our hands just like BitBar--combine that with the new POF of this coin and resistance to GPU mining I think we've got a winner  


Btw, how the F%^K do you mine 60K PPS? Server farm? I'm not even at 1K with 3 processors!

Bearing in mind I'm stuck with CPU mining. Bitcoins are impossible, Litecoins are impossible, Primecoins too difficult along with a variety of others that I've tried that weren't obviously pump and dumps. Unless I start up my own fork of Bitcoin/Litecoin (of which my programming skills are lacking), there seems to apparently be no way for someone to just hook up and mine for a bit, perhaps get maybe one or two coins and then disappear for a day or two, come back... and so on. Effectively if you don't have a decent i7 processor or running two or three really high high GPU's... there's no way for you to even think about getting involved.

...fairbrix? O.o (It would help if these were actually listed in places where people go looking for cryptocurrencies). I'll take a look through the list and see which ones I can actually get fired up. Links?

I'm not purposely excluding myself (I don't make it easy apparently by a) running linux b) having a rather old computer) but with everyone jumping on GPU's it does leave mining to only those who have lots of money to spend...apparently.

I'd like to actually mine rather than collecting handouts if I can help it.

Excluded how?

Fire up p2pool, bitcoind and geistgeldd, merged mine geistgeld alongside bitcoin. Even with a GPU, the bitcoins will subsidise your electricity, and because geistgeld is incredibly low difficulty, you will rake in geistgeld.

Or do i0coin, or coiledcoin, or groupcoin, heck do them all if you have the RAM to run them all. I0Coin and GeistGeld use the most RAM so if you don't have tons of RAM just do bitcoin, coiledcoin and groupcoin.

(For the high difficulty ones like namecoin and ixcoin its roulette, if you actually want some of those you might as well use mmpool at bitparking).

Only you are excluding yourself. Heck you can CPU mine fairbrix and/or tenebrix, are you even doing that? Seems like you are determined to exclude yourself, unwilling even to pick up these virtual-freebies laying there for the taking...

Remember its all limited pies though, if six billion people all divvy up one pie it does nto matter whether they divvy it up with ASIC or FPGA or GPU or CPU, they'll still only get the same fraction of the pie...

The one that runs $0.58/hour?

Try 32-core EC2 instance 

If I find this confusing, how do I make the original wallet to forget the moved block (but not all the blocks) ? I looked it up but didn't find answer. Thanks.

I'm getting a lot of orphans (~1 per hour) so I've been comparing debug.log with blockchain records based on UTC time... In most cases I'm ~1 second late so peer lag is to blame. But a few cases have been within the second, so you're absolutely right that efficiency getting solved blocks out is key.

There's a compromise here: the more connections, the faster your node will be notified of new blocks and avoid wasting work, the faster it can include transactions with fees in the coinbase and the faster it will propagate a P2Pool block minimizing chances it would become orphan.  Orphans will quickly rise if you have very few connections (they are the means to be notified of other shares after all).
But the less connections, the less bandwidth used and the lower the latency.

With the block spacing ~12-15 seconds and the default gensieveroundlimitms set to 1 second, each miner has very little time to find a chain. Consider that: some time can be lost due to peer lag in being notified of a new block; a small amount of time is lost validating the pseudoprimality of the previous block; then the remaining time is usually lost cycling through thousands of unsuccessful sieves.

Is this on a single PC?

Another thing, how to restart the daemon?

./primecoind stop

./primecoind

There is no real hashrate, because the proof-of-work is not based on hashes. The best equivalent is the "primespersec" line. ~200 seems to be a level for a desktop processor.

Here's my "primecoind getinfo" output:


Am i doing ok?

Thanks. Could you tell me where to find it in the source?

PUBKEY_ADDRESS = 23,  // primecoin: pubkey address starts with 'A'
SCRIPT_ADDRESS = 83,  // primecoin: script address starts with 'a'

Anyone know the Primecoin prefix so we can use vanitygen? I don't know where to look for it in the source.

I just had a transaction confirmed in under a minute.

The effective mining rate of the network is waaaaay faster than it should be.
