[XPM] [ANN] Primecoin Release - First Scientific Computing Cryptocurrency

[paulthetafy]

.. I'm buying up anything under 0.003.  Anyone stupid enough to sell to me for under that, I'm a happy to take them from you.

Lot of coins available at 0.003 (mcxnow), how much you are going to purchase?

Well now, he implied that he'll buy all available under that price point.

Therefore, happily, if his money is where his mouth is, there is a solid price floor we don't have to worry about falling through.

And, IIRC, someone else also made pretty much the same statement of "I'll buy everything at or below 0.003.". But I'm not gonna bother going back through the thread to find it.

Now here is someone establishing a true price floor.
10,000,000.0000    0.00000003    0.3000     

With the price now 400% up on the time that I wrote that I would buy anything under .003, and that you were all stupid for selling them at that price, I thought it would be a good time to re-quote this post   I didn't buy much at that price (a few BTC), and what I did buy I ended up selling off at .01 for a happy 3-4x profit.  I'll be keeping what I have mined for a little longer.  Thank you

Nice I bought some at $0.32 and sold for $0.56 but kept the profit in coins which are now worth double I'm gona keep them till I see 0.05 or never might use them hopefully.

If I have a core i5-2500k - that is four cores, what should I be putting my setgenerate to? I have set it everywhere from -1 to 16 and I am currently at 1250 primespersec. Is primespersec the best way to determine effectiveness?

-1 uses all available cores

setgenerate true 3 for 3 cores
setgenerate true 2 for 2 cores etc

setting it to -1 will utilize all cores so will give you maximum performance.  1250 is probably all you're going to get out of an i5-2500 and it may take several days to find a block at that rate.

what if they hit 0.1? they will if no gpu miner apear or big bug in prime codes...

-1 uses all available cores

setgenerate true 3 for 3 cores
setgenerate true 2 for 2 cores etc

Setting it to -1 gives only 240 pps.

It may use all the cores but not enough threads or something.

[Grumlin]

it's imposible. Somebody generate block very fast. For one day was generated about 3000 blocks... it's unreal

There are probably some miners who have GPUs working they just haven't told anyone else how to do it.

try setgenerate true 4 and see what happens

-1 and 4 are not good settings - I'm leaving it at 24. I guess that means 6 threads per core.

Geez, primecoin already broke through $1.25 and now hovering at $1.05 at current prices.

At least it isn't NVC.

Primecoin is doing the litecoin!

As a tribute to food like BBQ, we should create a PrimeRibCoin.

Is a normal mined block 12 XPM?

[captainfuture]

Is a normal mined block 12 XPM?

and how much is an unnormal mined block?

[xyzzy099]

Is a normal mined block 12 XPM?

The block reward is 999/(diff^2), so it depends on the difficulty at the time you mined the block.

[panoss]

Could someone inform me what is the total number of XPM?I see @ http://coinmarketcap.com/
that there have been found-mined 938,843 XPM ,but I cant find the total number anywhere.
Thanks

umm.... primes are infinite
