Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
I go into the debug console and type:
setgenerate true 1
then I type
getprimespersec
and it is 0
but typing getgenerate
outputs true
using "setgenerate true 1" means you're limited to a single CPU core, but if that's what you want it's fine. -1 instead of 1, or just leaving it blank altogether will use all CPU cores. as for primespersec being 0... not sure, what sort of CPU are you mining on? |

Looks like it's going to take 2-3 days for that first block to mature.  |

Will this actually be able to discover any new prime numbers? The paper suggests to me that it won't but I could be wrong. Since its proof-of-work is less secure than Bitcoin it's pretty pointless otherwise.

Yes I know there is 1 block / minute on the network. I was interested in, if it would be possible to calculate the average time to find a block, with X primespersec, for single miners, not for the complete network
I see. I think that it would constantly change because the total network hashrate is constantly changing. However, we could calculate a formula that would give you your average time to find a block for one instant in time given your current primespersec. The formula would look something like this: T = K(N/L) T= the average time (in minutes) to find a block on our computer system for a given instant in time. K = some constant. N = the total network hashrate for a given instant in time. L = your local hashrate for a given instant in time. As more people mine for longer periods of time, the value of K should become apparent. I see, so N would be something like the difficulty I guess |

I'm curious about this myself... What is the scientific value eluded to in the paper and forum topic subject? I agree, it doesn't sound like this is doing any actual prime number discovery. Here's the paper: http://ppcoin.org/static/primecoin-paper.pdf |

It is already built. Just click on primecoin-qt in the primecoin folder.
Ok I see that's what I get for trying to build from the github source... As you explained later, the tar file contains a pre-built binary, so I'll probably switch to that. With the sources, I managed to build the primecoind and get it running (it's mining, but no luck yet). I probably need to perform some qmake trickery to build the GUI... Onkel Paul |

I see, so N would be something like the difficulty I guess Yes, N should be directly proportional to difficulty. You could also use the total network hashrate (this might be the wrong term, I guess it would be the total network primerate). The only diffence between using the two would the the units that the constant is represented in. |

Very dependant on luck it seems. A pool would distribute this luck more evenly/fairly.

This coin is going to be really rough on the 1 CPU owners. No non-client miner so no pools. =/

@irritant...This proves that the average time to find a block really is almost completely random. It is very much like a lottery, you could find a block in 10 seconds or 10 years. We could calculate the most probable amount of time that it would take you to find a block for given network conditions, but that time could be VERY far off from what you actually get. |

I will buy your xpm, if you want to sell shoot me a pm with how much so I can offer you a price in ltc.
