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

[akspa]

I'd love to see a summary post of where the network/blockchain stands at this point in time. I've been following its progress since the first couple days and mining since. As such, is there any stats on how many people are mining, or solo vs. pooled miners? It would be interesting to see some graphs showing the growth of the coin, as time goes on.

Number of people mining can only be estimated.  ypool varies between 4000 and 4500 workers (CPUs, IF each CPU is listed as a separate worker) and has been averaging around 25% of the block finds.  This gives you a total of 16000-18000 CPUs.  This number seems small to me, but there is no easy metric to measure progress by other than block discoveries.

OK, just show me other with 9 a row... and I will shut up !

P.S. Btw, what other that song with good profit I can mining with my CPU. I found just this: https://coingeneration.com/auth/new/228464 for now, but it's use just any like 1-2% from my CPU and make me more from $1 per day. All other use not more from 7%. Do you have any better idea for the free 90% that is no more SCAM from XPM?

To get this thread back to a warm fuzzy feeling, I will throw out a few small xpm donations, who wants some ?

I do and that's a very nice move. I can feel the warm fuzziness already.

I can't find how to encrypt the wallet on linux. It's easy with the windows client setting - encrypt wallet but there is no such option on the linux client.
Anyone knows how to do that ?

Thanks

Many ppl there have few CPUs and one worker.. so I bet ~2-4x more

I have it under Linux. Settings/Encrypt Wallet.
What version are you running?

I downloaded it from sourceforge : primecoin-0.1.0-linux.tar.gz

This is the recommended client from the OP

I did not compile it, but ran the binary included but I doubt this is the cause of my problem.
I have the same problem with bitcoin-qt, no setting encrypt wallet option :/

You may be looking in the wrong place for the menu.  Look for the menu in the title bar of the root window, at the top of your screen, instead of in the small client window.

Code:

read pass && primecoind encryptwallet "$pass" && primecoind -daemon

It looks like I am not able to upload images to this board yet, pity. Oh well, I would like to have shared it here I figured the simplest thing to do would be to blog it.

There you'll find a plot of the last nearly two weeks of difficulty...
