Stuff has settled down in regards to XPM  Difficulty has dropped throughout today. Within a week we might peek back under 9.0 diff. That would be interesting. I added some more servers today at my place and I'm getting a few thousand more PPS. Bring it on I say! I just went the lazy route. Spent ~48 hours running parameter benchmarks and found some hearty improvements to my average 5-chain/hr. Its going pretty well though. Mined 5 blocks in the last 24hrs, so I can't really complain. Mind i if i ask what settings you are using? |

The only way to block botnets from CPU mining a coin would be to implement some physical access lock into the software. For example a USB thumb drive that contained a signature of some sort.
So it will be closed source then. Red flag. I don't follow your logic, why would it need to be closed source to implement this? The idea was that people running botnets or VPS farms don't have physical access to their machines. So in order to block them from mining a coin you need to implement something that requires physical access. Like inserting a usb key, with a publicly available signature loaded on to it, into the computer. edit: ah i see my flaw now, and why you said closed source. I guess if it was open source someone could just comment out that check and run the coind anyway. hmmm.... edit edit: I still think it's possible actually. I think you would have to just make the string that the thumb drive delivers part of your algorithm. So it couldn't simply be removed from the code. |

make something in it require windows to run if that is possible
if people want to fire up the vps clusters at least it will hopefully cost them a lot more to rape all the coins away.
This is probably the most retarded thing i have read all day. |

@zax983
As i see you are mining with just one core and you wana smothing extra??
i3 has 2 cores with 2 treads so if you tell it to use 2 treads just one core will be in use and you would need 15-30 days to find a block as it is now!
Last 3 weeks I use full 2 cores (4 threads) and nothing... Why to continue do this, can you give me any reason? It's my desktop PC and after 3 weeks I f*ck my self, now I will try my luck with just 1 core, coz with 1.5 use 100%... now 80%, but still scam... For 3 weeks I have just 9 orphanes with full power... And now I have just 1 more question for this SoB coin: Why I have 3K pps but slow down to half with full power. And why with half power I have 1.5K (like full power in good days) but again slow down to half. And why in any other coin I have more pps. Why scam us? Sounds like a child... +2 |

So I discovered the hidden -dedication parameter, and encoded a short message into block 86043 which I mined. I've verified the message is in the blockchain by grepping through the primecoin blockchain files on a few other machines. Is there any proper way to view these messages (such as to check for more in other blocks)? Or do I need to build my own blockchain parser for this?
(EDIT: I tried the linux strings utility. I only see the original block's message, and my own's message. Guess no one else has done this.)
(EDIT2: I tried the strings utility on Bitcoin's blockchain. Doesn't look like stuffing information into a blockchain is that unique of a prank, drat.)
Hit a couple blocks last night. The list is getting longer  Sunny King - dedicated to Satoshi Nakamoto and all who have fought for the freedom of mankind

Hahaha this is great, there's a couple there now, maybe a couple people picked up on your advice: Sunny King - dedicated to Satoshi Nakamoto and all who have fought for the freedom of mankind

1 x Parallella = 32 GFlops - $99 - 0.32 $/GFlop 1 x i5 4670K = 86 GFlops - $240 - 0.35 $/GFlop And this is overlooking the fact that you would also need to buy the rest of the computer (case, memory, hard drive, etc). So yes, i think it's quite an efficient processor for its price. But would you mine a whole lot at 1 Parallela? probably not. You would need to get at least 10 or so. They sell them in packs of 4 with all the extra cables required for $575. http://shop.adapteva.com/collections/parallella/products/parallella-cluster-kitEstimated shipping date of October. By which time i don't know if mining primecoin with a CPU will really be a thing anymore. But it might be a nice rig to have to mine other things that come along. If you bought 2 of those 4 packs, you would have 256GFlops for $1150....  |

Is it already too difficult to get some results? I'm mining with an i7 and get ~800-1000 pps. But didn't find anything in the last 20h  I think it might be already too difficult. I'm running on OS X 10.8.4, and I set up an Ubuntu OS in VMWare Fusion. It's running around 600-700 ops, has gone through almost 80,000 blocks in 24 hours, and there's nothing produced so far. I'll let it keep running for a few days. I understand that luck is a major factor, so maybe lady luck will visit me. Why not run native? you could probably get better PPS than that. and the code compiles fine native OSX. |

- Numbers are still sometimes truncated when parsed from strings
Sounds like you need a better library for int. something that handles really really big ints. |

Looks like the repo is updated with the fix for last nights bug.
What happened last night? Read the last couple pages in this thread. 'splains it all. |

Is the bitbucket down for anyone else or just me?

rm ~/.primecoin/wallet.dat &&
Ouch, i feel sorry for the linux noob that runs this without knowing what it does. I ran this and It made me mine 10 blocks in a row at only 900pps! Hahahahaha shit thanks for the lol's guys. |

Hello,
I tried out your API today and it keeps giving me 500 server errors for the authenticated methods. I have even tried using the example python code provided on the site and still get the same errors. Can you take a look at your API? perhaps you broke it when you switched to SSL?

Your sig makes you look like a spammer. you might want to tone that down a bit. but yeah +1 for crypto-trade. |
