The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

Will primecoin use similar protocols for getWork and other miner functions, or will a program like cgminer have to be rebuilt from the ground up to support PrimeCoin?  |

Where is the scientific use of prime number chains?

The discover of new prime numbers as I understand. |

The discover of new prime numbers as I understand. In the white paper it describes only using prime numbers which can be easily verified, so that rules out actively searching for large prime numbers, doesn't it? |

interesting...
can you prove that there will always exist a chain for any hash and any difficulty?
I guess a "proof" that relies on widely accepted conjectures (like the Rihemann Hypothesis) should suffice.

Dude, verifying a number is prime is easy. Well, I guess the white paper is pretty vague on the limits. So we'll see what the actual limits are in a couple of hours. When I discovered this coin last night, I had hoped it would be finding all prime numbers so that eventually bitcoin could be attacked using the prime numbers found by this coin. Which would be poetic, imho. |

As I understand having a complete list of huge primes would compromise a lot of systems, not just bitcoin itself. |

What would be the scientific advances of finding prime numbers?

I'd like to thank eduffield and the other developers for this critically important evolution in virtual currency. DarkCoin is what bitcoin should have been. Some might call it "Bitcoin 2.0" but would do better by saying: "DarkCoin is digital cash." - Child Harold - February 28, 2014 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg5424980#msg5424980 |
