you should set a lower starting bid, considering the current market price, any way, interested and reserved  He has a lot of shares to sell and I am offering him liquidity. It is very fair considering the auction ends on August 13th and bids are not retractable. In 9 days when the auction ends the shares could be trading for significantly less on the exchanges and I will still be required to honor my bid per the terms of the auction. |

I have asked Dooglus to send a signed reply with the bitcoin address for the bets to be sent that he will be escrowing the jackpot.

true
3 questions: How are you going to prevent people changing their predictions? Can people send 0.10 BTC in a single transaction, say, and make 10 selections? Can Deb and I play? How are you going to prevent people changing their predictions? Will keep an excel spreadsheet, all bets are final Can people send 0.10 BTC in a single transaction, say, and make 10 selections? Yes, one selection per each .01 BTC wager Can Deb and I play? Sure. |

Just-Dice has had an amazing start, in about 6 weeks we now stand with over 734,000 BTC wagered! With Dooglus' permission, we are holding a winner-take-all pool to see who can guess closest to the time and date for when the 1,000,000 bitcoin mark is hit. There will be no house take - the entire jackpot will go to the winner(s) and will be held in escrow by Dooglus. I have asked Dooglus to send a signed reply with the bitcoin address for the bets to be sent that he will be escrowing the jackpot. RULES:1. Pick a date and a time in UTC. You should pick the date and the hour. You can bet as many time slots as you multiple people can bet the same time slot. We will be rounding down the nearest hour, so keep that in mind when betting. If multiple people pick the same time slot and it wins, then the jackpot will be split evenly. If two bets are equidistant from the winning date/time, then the jackpot will be split. Eg. 8/20/2013 @ 6pm UTC - if the that 1,000,000 BTC mark is hit at 6:59pm + 59 seconds, it will still be counted as 6pm (won't be rounded up to 7pm) To figure out UTC time go to: http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_UTC.aspx2. Bets cannot be changed once placed 3. Accepting bets until 800,000 BTC total wagered is reached. 4. To place your bets, send your BTC to 1KFBfgU9iBEEFSLyycgvBKcLyRyrWUWZ2A and then post in this thread a signed message from the sending address with the bets you wish to place. Remember, 0.01 BTC per bet is acceptable. Mechs |

Info Ive been looking for is:
Number of total coins (seen in OP)
Block solve time
Reward per block
Does the reward drop after XX blocks?
No max coins, though the amount of coins awarded slowly decrease with difficulty increases. At some point though unless ASICs for primecoin are developed, existing processors will take a long time to solve the increasingly difficult prime chains. Block solve time is variable, not fixed. Depends on when someone solves the current block. The block refresh time though is 1 minute so transmissions move quickly. Currently it is about 12 XPM, it is slowly decreasing. It drops by a fractional amount constantly. Not sure of the equation, I think it is based though on k (chain length) payout = 999/(diff^2) Where did you find the equation? The white paper? Yes - and it has also been quoted probably ten or more times in the announcement thread and the high performance thread. Thank you, I'll update the posting. |

Still waiting for this  For what? CPU friendly coin already here, it called primecoin. |
|
|
|

It does seem like I was getting more XPM per hour in ypool with V4 than v5, though it been only 14 hours so far.
|
|
|
|
I'm having an issue with v5. It starts fine, but after about an hour, the load for each CPU is around 20%? Any idea why that is happening? I'm reverting to v4 for now.
I'm checking this right now. I have not been having this trouble in any of my 5 windows systems. |

The new pastime for mining start-ups seems to be advertising "projected" percentage of global hashrate. FC has always said he was targeting 10%-15% I believe. He so far has been the only entity capable of consistently hitting that target. Several others have included numbers in their offerings claiming numbers all the way to 35% as future targets.
A quick back of the envelope calculation from issuers projections from the securities listed on BTC-TC gives you (when taken together) over 180% of the global hash.
I would tend to think that some of these projections might be overly optimistic, but that is only if you use that math stuff. Realistically, I tend to think that most it not all of these projections will under-perform significantly. I also do not believe that any other endeavor has a remote chance of cutting into AM 10%-15%. So they will all have to beat each other to death (along with all of the pool-miners) for the remaining 85%.
If you buy these shares with the expectation that they will achieve a certain percentage of global hash, you will stand to lose considerable assets.
Others promise. pre-roasted cat baked cat Fried Cat delivers.
As I read this thread, I do sense the type of fanboy optimism that Apple shares had on their way up. Remember, when expectations are so high and baked into the prices, especially with history of consistently beating expectations, any slight miss can be devastating go the share price as the weak knee speculators run for the exits. I think AM has a bright future, but likely to be a better entry point in the future and keeping my coins on the sideline for now. |

I believe bidding ends Sunday midnight UTC then resets for the next week but you should have Dooglus confirm. |

With efforts to make a GPU miner for Primecoin floundering (and I am skeptical it would even be more effective than a system with a good 64-bit X86 CPU and fast memory), I was wondering if using Parallela to build a Primecoin mining rig would work well. It is low power, ideal for CPU intensive tasks, can easily add fast memory to it cheaply and is quiet and compact. It is also infinitely expandable. I was thinking of ordering: http://shop.adapteva.com/collections/parallella/products/parallella-cluster-kitThis was a kickstarter project. Apparently they have already shipped boards to kickstarter contributors and sales to other customers will start in August. Here is the page describing this project: http://www.adapteva.com/introduction/It strikes me this would be good for any CPU intensive mining coin and Primecoin may be a great candidate for this. Thoughts? Don't waste your time or money. If you understood the technology you would know that it's not anywhere near powerful enough to be used to mine Primecoins more effectively than a Xenon. Sure you could give it a try but I think it's just not worth the expense for the very marginal gain. Do you think a Xeon is better than a high end over clocked i7 processor? |

ypool is basically finding all the blocks at this point.
some friends and i still find blocks solo mining, everything is fine Yep, solo blocks can still be found, even on a low spec PC, like an i3. Don't LIE man! Not force people to waste time, power and hope... I can't find block with i3-2125 from a month !!! What is the chance now, any like 0.000000001% or I'm just unlucky (easy to said, but I not trust). Please don't shout and please, please, please, don't call others liars because of your bad luck. ...and although I feel this is a waste of time, I can just not stand your attitude. Just to prove that you need no Blue Gene acess to solve blocks: I recently solved a block on a very low power virtual machine (as you might or might not be able to derive from the numbers)...

Hey, almost transitioned from "immature" to "generated".  I am surprised no one has built a competitor pool to ypool yet. At 3% it's fee is pretty high. Still, the efficiency of mumps version of their open source miner alone justifies using the pool over solo mining for me. Still, for the health of the network, better to have more pools to distribute the computing power as much as possible. |

You might try putting -s 3000000 and leaving all the rest by default , it might give some increase on the share counts.. im using the v5 ... it is really way behind what v4 has offered. I hope they have a better update than this on their next release.. and pls dont forget the 32 bit binaries  Thanks Way behind in what way? |

Thanks. Someone needs to contact the record keeper and inform them about primecoin. |

Or a timer you have to reset regularly. If the timer hasn't been reset in some days, assume the guy is dead, and send the email.
This really is the best idea. To auto-send balances to the emergency withdrawal address from the cold wallet if the timer is not reset. Should be a long enough time, like 1 month to prevent accidental mass withdrawals. How this would actually be implemented without being reliant on a susceptible server which could be shut down by authorities though I do not know. |
