Maybe I have missed something new among the sea of clones, but who is the first non-hashcash proof-of-work that you are referring to? Some API would be preserved some would be impacted, especially those mining related. Although I haven't looked into it yet the release is client wallet solo mining only. If I understand correctly, this will be the second non-hashcash crypto-currency to achieve beta.
Looking forward to it.
Will you provide backwards compatibility at the daemon for existing crypto currency infrastructures?
(Similar RPC-JSON interface especially?)
Will users be able to compile from source on release or are you just releasing the client wallet on launch day? I guess I am a little worried a troll will try and clone it if you release all the source on day 1. After a day or so it doesn't matter so much then. I am curious how you managed to get this to work...  |

Looks interesting. Maybe something like the SETI project could use some "hashing" power from this coin.

Are you integrating GIMPS into a block chain? There would be a couple of problems with that I could foresee, namely that it takes an average of two years to find a new prime and that all new primes usually need to be independently verified (eg in 2003 when a new "prime" was found that ended up being factorable). There are no real implementation details, so I'm curious. In the Mersenne prime format you could easily stick them somewhere in the block header. Edit: Apparently Gavin made a fork already of the same name https://github.com/primecoin/primecoinDoesn't look like he did much with it, though. |

A alt coin by a respected developer and with a totally unique proof of work scheme, this is going to be huge!

Worth keeping an eye on - it's nice to see some real innovation and not another cut-and-paste! SIFCoin is another recent one that is also CPU only for now (though not as large a departure from the 'norm' as this might be).
Good luck, Sunny - I hope this is a winner for you (and the rest of us)!

Design paper would be available in a couple days. That's my fork, not Gavin's  Source code will be uploaded at release time. Are you integrating GIMPS into a block chain?

I can throw up something like this http://elacoin.org/ in an hour or two if you want. |

I'm very interested to see how pool mining will work. Maybe sending a list of tried values? Seems that could be abused...

if it's just changing another way to do proof of work, it does not sound innovative to me, coz we already have sha256 and scrypt, and they are working just fine..

and sha256 and scrypt offer scientific research results? I don't think so, there is the innovation, primecoin does something extra for the world to benefit |
