I just started using Minera this past weekend, and noticed that after updating, it stopped mining. I'm currently ssh'd in to my rpi, doing all the necessary updates and rebuilding bfgminer. At least it's fixable without a huge learning curve needed, but maybe having a few select people to test each release before pushing it out to everyone would be a good idea? I'll volunteer my own time to this task, if you want.

Just look at all these leecher accounts being created just to get some bluecoins... No doubt people didn't bother to read the rules outlined in the first post. In any case, let's see if this ends up going somewhere.

Mmmmm Steaking* has begun Now we just need to start using our coins for the greater good, and hopefully adoption will continue to spread, plus the want and need for coins should bump the price up a tad. *Pun because steak is yummy and stake is a weird word in my opinion.

I cannot find anywhere what "NOOK" means in the workers list. Does it mean "Not OK" or something? I'm currently testing my 3 gridseed miners on this pool... seems it would be a good idea to identify what all the fields in the workers page mean.

Received this email this morning regarding my pre-order of a single Wolf/Blizzard - Dear Customer, Thank you for being a Zoomhash.com Customer. As many of you know, there are still some power consumption issues with the Wolf/Blizzard Scrypt Asic. Until those are resolved, we do not feel comfortable shipping the units out to our customers. Therefore, we would like to offer two options for our valued customers that purchased these items: 1. Apply the credit from the Blizzard/Wolf order to an 80 Chip Gridseed Blade Unit @ 5.2-5.6MHs. We will also give you a special price of $650 per unit for these units.
or 2. Full Refund
If you need further assistance, please call us at (888) 933-5282 and press 802 for Bob. Please respond directly to this email on the choice you would like. If we do not receive an answer within 24 hours, we will automatically do a full refund on the order.
Thank you! Zoomhash
That answers that question. I guess I'm not getting my asic edit: In any case, the increased wattage wouldn't bother me that much, and it would have been nice if they had offered for us to make the decision on our own, instead of pulling the rug out from under us. Makes me wonder what other shops are going to do (although last I checked, they had already shipped out most pre-orders of the blizzard)...

Would something like this suffice? -- http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3QcUsI went with the low-end AMD AM1 platform because it's designed for low-power, dual-core processing, which would be sufficient for handling both the blockchain operations, and routing should you want that feature. I also included an extra gigabit network card since if you're doing any sort of routing, you'll likely want full-duplex functionality. With this sort of configuration, you can have the box directly connected to the network, running openWRT, and have all network traffic pass through the second network adapter - connecting the second nic to a gigabit switch would give you however many ports you would need for your network.

Has anyone else had issues with the windows client being able to: A) download the blockchain in its entirety, B) not crash every time it attempts to open the wallet, C) be stable for more than 5 minutes at a time?
So far, I've not been able to send any zetacoin to any exchanges because the client continually states that it is unable to open the wallet, yet, it sees the full balance without issue. Any clues as to how to fix this?
What you could try: Backup your wallet Delete the zetacoin folder in Appdata Reinstall completely the windows client Replace your backed up wallet inside the new zetacoin folder in Appdata That was the first thing I tried. I randomly get 'runaway execution' errors. Usually that relates to an improper runtime library, from what I've seen in the past, but in this case, the client is in its own folder with its own libraries, so that is likely not the problem. I'm going to try and see what happens in a VM with the wallet, just to see if maybe it's my install of Windows.

WHY is that? Cant you guys count? Come on over 100 million pretty bad miss.
Obviously the dev team of this coin doesn't know how to properly program a coin, seeing as the very basic limits are already broken. TLDR: Don't waste your electricity on this. even if you get it for free - until they realize how to fix it or drop out completely.

Are you going to try to "compete" with them and release before/around the same time frame or are you not worried about those 2 coins.
Absolutely not. I don't care about any other coin, to me they are all wrong. I will release it: Just make sure it doesn't end up like Duke Nukem Forever did. I'm in, and interested in where this coin is headed

Looks interesting. How does it differ from all the other coins currently out there, though? I'll take a look at the source code, but seeing as I'm no programmer, I probably won't understand it at all.

Fully agree with CoinHoarder.
The peoples with pay for VPS and mine PrimeCoin it's botnet's or serious miner's? My opinion - they serious miners. IMO botnet's can't take control of PrimeCoint network until serious miner's with VPS mines PrimeCoin, because diff is to high and computers which controlled by botnet's in 80% cases it's a regular home users computers without much CPU power.
rdebourbon is working on a primecoin miner for the parallella (parallella.org). It is a $99 computer (essentially just cpu and cache on an ARM architecture) that can be infinitely parrallized. I think this may be the ideal primecoin miner by a $/XPM mined basis Interesting news - I have a parallella board coming sometime, as a Kickstarter invester. But I'm puzzled, if primecoin mining couldn't be made to work on a GPU with massive parallization, why should it work on a parallella board? Do you have any more details, link etc? It works actually, and it's coded in opencl, so this miner should serve as a base. Specifically OpenCL v1.2. I'd be interested in the parallella version as well, even though I don't own the hardware (yet). It certainly looks like an interesting platform, especially since the boards can be installed in parallel at any time to increase the amount of processors at your disposal. I have a feeling we'll see quite a few new coins that target the platform - possibly bringing down the walls that ASICs have built up. Sure, it isn't bitcoin, but who cares - the cents to a dollar eventually add up

I created a mining settings wiki for helping people to get the most out of their hardware when mining primecoins! http://www.xpmwiki.com/AY6z6pY49MNh1dra24fSwqUTuhp2Jx4s1d

is there a thread somewhere where we collect different paramters (sievesize etc) for different CPU models, as it is usually the way with scrypt and sha256 GPU wikis? or is it still every man for himself?
I just created a wiki for this purpose. Feel free to join, and we can all work together to figure out the best settings for all the miners! Official Announcement Thread: http://www.ppcointalk.org/index.php?topic=511.0Site: xpmwiki.com

Awesome! Now we wait for potential developers to pick it up. It's a good idea that you posted the official dev thread as well, since many people are either not aware of primecointalk/ppcointalk, or just have no idea there even is an outlet for dev talk for primecoin.

I wonder how many months after the public release it will take until the GPU miner is actually mining at least a bit faster than the CPU Miner.
I'm guessing never. This project was a complete failure and a borderline scam. I don't know about that - just need some good coders who love primecoin to take up the project. Hopefully mtrlt will stay involved and provide leadership. He said borderline. That means not necesarilly but it sure feels like it. Absolutely 0 of the donators got any kind of ROI whatsoever. True but now the primecoin community has a working, albeit buggy and inefficient, gpu miner with source code to serve as a starting point. That's something at least, but yeah, the donations part was rather disappointing for now, to say the least. Without the donations the GPU miners wouldn't have come out so soon I guess. The donation has worked more or less as donations should. As one of the donators, I feel a bit cheated. I had assumed that at this point, the gpu miner would be at least a working beta, not the mess we have on our hands, which really does not work. Perhaps mtrlt will release another update with various fixes he's got, but until then, we've just got an alpha at best - not even a good proof of concept. Perhaps it's due to the naysayers that he released it so early in development - and perhaps that's why he's keeping quiet as well. Ideally, I'd love to see someone take up the code and develop it into a working miner - even if it's just GPU-accelerated - any bit that will help the cpu miner at doing its job would be appreciated.

I'm back to solo mining on my main rig, as it seems that hp11 is finding blocks a bit more steadily than pooled mining (not to mention, beeeeer's miner doesn't seem to generate anything for me).

I'll try to have the source on GitHub this weekend.
Good, that's a start to move this thing along. We need to get this thing going, as right now it seems stagnant.

Can we get back to the topic at hand, and leave all this name calling bullshit behind us?
I still cannot get fermet testing to work on my platform. I was able to generate kernels for a short period of time, but they don't seem to work anymore. Perhaps I need to upgrade my Catalyst drivers?
What's everyone else running where it actually works without crashing?
I see this first release as an Alpha. It does what it's supposed to, but you have to understand - when you develop such a precise piece of software, and don't have a set of testing platforms on hand, you have to rely on the community to test and squash bugs. I don't feel cheated for donating - I feel that mtrlt did exactly what he set out to do - he created a semi-working GPU primecoin miner. Sure, it's got its rough edges, but they should be smoothed out over time.
That's my 2 primecents.
