The power consumption is just way too high and you would need the 1024 to achieve ok speeds but bad power again.

Hello,
I have updated my Cunningham chain record list:

http://users.cybercity.dk/~dsl522332/math/Cunningham_Chain_records.htm

Congratulations to all who found new records!

Please send me a PM if you want to have your real name on the record list. First of all you of course need to confirm that you really found the record like it's done in this thread.

Regards,
Dirk Augustin

good stuff! I have high hopes for primecoin, as its development, like people have already said, uses all that extra energy ( did you know mining in the u.s. costs us 80+k in electricity a DAY? That's only going to get higher) to work.  The most intriguing thing I found was concerning a computational program from Stanford to help find cures to some diseases.  The other half is to find longgggg prime numbers, which I guess is a big thing in the math world?? were talking world record, million digit long primes. I guess primecoin has already slashed a world record for long primes.   It beats me as child with the Guinness bookofworld records out, trying to stand on one foot to beat the record, which was days long.

But seriously, it's the first coin that isn't being mindless about all that expendable energy, and I for one applaud that.

$20,000 is a decent bit.  It never looks like much when expressed as bitcoin like in that snapshot, till you convert it to fiat.

Alright, left this stickied a few days longer than I had intended to, but no harm done. I will however be unstickying it now, there are over 500 votes at the moment, which should be a large enough sample size to get somewhat accurate information. You are free to continue on with regular conversation about the poll or whatever, and use a daily bump to keep the thread in the public if you wish, just letting you know that in order for my "Sticky anything that could be considered important, interesting, or useful" policy to work, I have to make sure that I take down things that have been stickied after a while, or eventually the entire front page will end up stickied.

used the site yesterday, pretty fun and pretty fast.

only bad thing was no day spa, you lose 200 btc in 60 seconds you expect a day spa!!   

hehe just kidding, best of luck all.

tl;dr: we need more Valves, not more Zyngas. And MPOE is most definitely a Zynga.

By popular demand, here is a GPU miner for Ybcoin, a Chinese clone of Yacoin. This is a copy of my Yacminer that supports the different launch date of Ybcoin. I'm not going to support this miner. It may get updated as an afterthought.

My Yacminer is here:

Usage:
Sample settings for 7790:
Hash rate is 1.092 Mh/s with N = 32. I also recommend setting -s 1 because block times may get pretty fast.

Nope.  You're missing a few.  See my list in my signature.

I didn't buy it because of the TV thing... are we sure it would be fine to use it on your computer and super computer your computer instead of the TV?

I wouldn't want to overboard my PC and I don't know if our CPU is capable of handling it... It looks to be a standalone product.

I've been thinking of buying one just to play with, primecoin and possibly even scrypt coins might be efficient to mine on this. Its only $99 to order one, even if its not usefull to mine primecoin its a fun linux computer you can play with. I'll buy it just as a toy and if it is efficient in mining primecoins all the better.

Some of you like to see an altcoin that is truly GPU,FGPA,ASIC resistant. We would like to see such a coin too so we have started experimenting. We are working on the hashing function right now. It's radix sort based. We use 64 random numbers between 10000 and 75536 (16^4+10k). This 512 char long decimal number is the 'key'. (If we subtract the 10k on each number block and convert it to hex, it's a 256 long hex string in total [or in other words: 1024 bits].) We then change each number block with a specific simple math function and radix sort them by LSD. This gives us a 'hash' (same structure as 'key'). Using a difficulty is already in place. The above explained process for getting a hash out of a key is also depending on the difficulty. The higher the difficulty the more often the hashing has to be done before getting back a hash (simply said). Validating a hash is based on simple math functions depending on the difficulty. The higher the difficulty the less hashes are valid (simply speaking).

I just want to make sure we are on the right track with this.

Possible improvements: I would like to implement tacotime's mentioned tree search algorithm in topic 64239. But it has to be implemented in a way the search is mandatory and that's very hard to do. We may also should use radix sort MSD and LSD instead of LSD only. What do you think?

Do you have any idea what we should change/add to the hashing function?

This was needed! Good work! Maybe some editing and use of B, colors and bigger fonts would help and make it easier to read
