Thanks, that command helped indeed. Also tried your git, got this error after make: minerd-cpu-miner.o: In function `miner_thread': /home/eule/quarkcoin-cpuminer/cpu-miner.c:786: undefined reference to `scanhash_quark' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [minerd] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/eule/quarkcoin-cpuminer' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/eule/quarkcoin-cpuminer' make: *** [all] Error 2
But the sourcecode i downloaded earlier compiles fine, getting around 50 kHash per core on an i7 930.

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [PRIMECOIN XPM] How would you say it?

Hmm i never found it hard to explain Bitcoin or Primecoin to my friends. Bitcoin: PCs calculate on a hard puzzle until one of them solves it and gets 25 Bitcoins as reward, that's when the next puzzle begins.
Primecoin: Bitcoin's puzzle is basically trash, as the data it generates only contains useless hashes, wasting lots of energy on these useless calculations. Primecoin's puzzle generates primechains, which some say is useful for cryptography aswell as for research about prime distribution. So while it's not yet clear if the primechains have a real scientific value (although many math pros say yes), they are at least a lot more useful than bitcoin's seemingly random hashes.

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][YAC] Yacminer GPU miner for Yacoin

So, correct me if i'm wrong here, but i thought the whole point of YAC was that at the current difficulty the GPUs should only be getting 0 H/s.
If the GPU miners are still doing better than the CPU miners, doesn't this completely invalidate the purpose of YAC?
Windmaster and mikaelh both said they see no reason why the GPU miner should not continue to work.
