Ok, Vorksholk, I will have to go in few minutes. But don't worry, I will not run with your Primecoins, I will back later... The thing is, here is 6:39 AM and I have to catch few hours of sleep...  No problem. FYi, I'm fine with waiting a month for prison architect, if you're cool with going that route. |

Hey! Want to mine primecoins without the headache of setting up linux boxes and compiling it yourself? For 92 XPM, I'll put you on a box that can hash at >1800PPS (at difficulty 8.xx) for an entire month. The box has a dual-core i3, and will be running the latest hp5 build on either debian or centos, your choice!  FAQ: Will this be profitable? No idea. This question's answer lies in three fields: how lucky you will be, what the primecoin price will do (if you paid in Bitcoin), and how efficient GPU miners are over CPU miners. Is this price fixed? No, this price is free to fluctuate with market value of primecoin. |

Could you check it again?
It said is not tradeable, but it said nothing about gifts... hmmm
Checked it again, still won't let me redeem... Where did it say it was non-tradeable?  |
|
|
|
Wow nice, it just arrived! Go figure, thanks though frg! Edit: nvm....? This gift has already been redeemed. |
|
|
|
Nope, something is not good.
Steam is saying that I can't gift this item for 30 days.. :/
Please confirm if you or did you not receive this game as a gift.
Hmm, didn't get it... |
|
|
|
It ask me your e-mail to send a gift:
---
Email my gift
Send my friend a gift email message, including all the info they'll need to get up and running on Steam.
Recipient's email address:
---
So you can PM me you email.
My Primecoin address is AZHH8wDJizfsexwJbUYqgikyWK5xFnCuot
Ahh, cool/nice. Sent Primecoins. |

Ok, I'll buy Prison Architect Standard on Steam for you for 25 Primecoins.
Awesome!! I'll send first, if you'd like. My steam is 'vorksholk' as well. |

Since Primecoin is mostly based on speculation at the moment, I want to buy something with it. And I like games.
I will pay 25 Primecoins to the first person who will sell me this game, gifted to my Steam account. It currently costs ~$20 on STEAM, because of the SUMMER SALE event. Not sure how long the sale on it will last. Edit: 38 hours or so!

I have a 780 I can test on, even if it's just builds that aim to test for performance, not actually mine blocks. Sadly my limited CUDA knowledge doesn't serve me very well here. |

I get a trojan alert when running this software, any idea why?  The virus alerts that appear here involve: (1) MULDROP.Trojan, for more details see here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx?Name=Trojan%3AWin32%2FClort.A.dr#tab=2but the essence is this: Launches MS08-067 Attack When Trojan:Win32/Clort.A is executed, it creates a mutex named ‘2008-MS08-067_TEST’ and exits if it already exists. This trojan connects to a remote site to retrieve target information, or IP address range data for the trojan to attack. The data is retrieved from the domain address 'gsinvest.gov.cn/*******/VoteModiy.asp'. Next, Win32/Clort.A executes %TEMP%\svchost.exe, attacking IP addresses provided by text from the page 'VoteModify.asp'. It tries to connect to port 139, and if successful, launches %TEMP%\svchost.exe <IP address> The attack attempts to locate vulnerable computers that have not applied Security Bulletin MS08-067. Downloads Other Malware If a target computer is exploited, Win32/Clort.A!exploit executes shell code that instructs the target to download TrojanDownloader:Win32/VB.CJ from the domain 'dabao8.net' as a file named 'cc.exe'. The downloaded trojan is then run. Win32/VB.CJ is a trojan that downloads other malware. When run, it attempts to download TrojanDownloader:Win32/VB.CQ from the domain 'nowbt.net' as a file named 'cpa.exe'. Downloads Adware After TrojanDownloader:Win32/VB.CQ is downloaded it is run. It attempts to connect to the Web address 'cpa123.cn' and downloads adware. (2) WS.Reputation.1 for symantec, the alert they have is for any new program, apparently: http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/WS-Reputation-1-is-this-the-best-they-can-come-with/td-p/616601Just to add, all LTC software I have ever downloaded gets auto deleted by my antivirus (Bitdefender). Other LTC miners tend to have more virus warnings. I would say that this is kinda off-putting. Someone PM me or post if they know a recognised LTC miner that, as a downloaded zip or whatever, is clean on virustotal.com. Other alt coins manage it. Probably doesn't sound legit coming from me, but it's fine. I've seen reaper and cgminer get hung up by virus scanners. It's kinda dumb, but I think they were used in some botnets or something... |

in the Op: FAQ: "Why is ypool not getting this bounty?" A: Does not run native on Linux (requires wine). However, if people feel they should get the bounty, I'm cool with that. So you want a little bit your way for a miner we already knew and didn't contribute anything too?  When I put up the bounty I was more expecting BFGminer, native linux support would be awesome. |

Why all the attention to CUDA?
Based on previous prime-number-based-research projects, CUDA has outperformed OpenCL. |
|
|
|

I'm sure OP is already aware, but I have a bounty for 6 BTC for a primecoin CUDA miner, which this is well on the way to earning. Bounty of course requires a public release of the code and binaries, which it looks like OP is going to provide no problem.

Small progress report time!
Most of the first day was spent setting up the dev environment... libblkmaker doesn't compile under Visual Studio, I had to move to use MinGW for everything. Everything's fine though. This was predictable, and didn't delay development.
Can you give us a idea of what speeds to expect with 6950, or 6970's? He probably won't have estimates for a few days. |

Accepting donations for "early access" is about as close to an outright scam as you can get, and I NEVER expected the person behind reaper etc. to pull something as cheap.
It's essentially buying software. People give him money, he gives them a product. Anyone is perfectly entitled to buy, the only prerequisite is one Bitcoin, or less than $100. People in many fields purchase software and make money from the product of the software, think CAD, think Graphics Design, think electrical engineering, think multimedia... Everyone freaks out when someone doesn't do something for free, it's a bit sad. The project will be released free, but for those who want early access, they can buy the software. He's selling a product. And taking pre-orders. EDIT: Also, a 'scam' is generally when the person who pays money doesn't get a product. Sure we can't prove this is the true reaper developer, but if it is (and chances are high!), then it won't be a 'scam,' but rather not giving the software away to everyone. He wants to be paid for his work, but he still wants to be able to release the software as open source and support it as freeware. Mrtlt has earned like 21 Bitcoins, or around $2,000 for his efforts. If it takes him just 40 hours to develop the software, he's getting paid less than most top-notch programmers. |

Awesome  Send 50 Primecoins you way. |

I'll also send you a PM; ce93073b905ac42e5e6fd9a504cdd6b4e6434c6540aa270a779e1099bf27b32e is the TXID, I sent 2 BTC. |

Nice, will donate one bitcoin when I get home.
|
|
|

I will toss some coins to the bounty but not for CUDA Hey, make your own thread! xD If you want to contribute to a OpenCL miner, you would probably have the best luck making your own thread though. |
