Is there anywhere I can buy something with primecoins? Chicken and egg situation I think.

Of course:
Buy a video game: http://www.crypto4games.com/
Buy some server hosting: http://Litehosting.org
Get a pre-paid Visa Card: www.Visa4Crypto.com
A Daily purchase site: http://dailybit.net
Delicious BBQ sauce: http://sauce4coins.com/
A folksy piggy bank: http://folksy.com/shops/PiggyPlace
Jerky! (yuck): http://jaysjerkyandgoodies.com
Sex Toys! http://www.cryptosextoys.com/

Nice list.

Just getting started with this Primecoin thing, and I can't get my blockchain to sync.  I'm behind a pretty big firewall, so I've been using an SSH tunnel.  When I used a normal network, it synced just fine for awhile.  With the SSH tunnel, I got a few slow blocks, then it stopped.  Any ideas?

Also, what ports do I need to have set up? Thought I might mess around with forwarding a bit.

another coin that starts out too high priced and therefore has no value, and people who invest will lose

GLD support talking about value of coins.

Quite a statement.

Because fuck logic, that's why.

I still couldn't connect using redbourbon's miner...no port? just the url?

Anyone got a sample bat file? The pool's miner is 32 bit, don't wanna use that.

Anyone got a working testnet node?

I'm running some testnet nodes. Try adding this to your primecoin.conf:

Code:

seednode=primeseed.muuttuja.org

CCE3 TEST VERSION 3.5  FOR PRIMECOIN IS ONLINE!

The test explorers have been moved to their own server to facilitate a complete sever setup. A complete setup and test cannot be done on servers currently hosting live coins on CCE.

Test Version 3.5 is a completely functional base coin explorer. Full ledgers and searches are available.

New to 3.5:

Fully functional and quick account ledger system.
If you experience a delay when getting a ledger, give it a few seconds, you will be amazed at how long some of these account ledgers are!!! Literally 1000's of transactions long.
There can be some minor differences in the balance at the end of the ledger and balance at the top.This involves some minor rounding differences and the balance at the end of the ledger is more precise.

Various other tweaks and optimizations.

There will be a 3.51, but it will not bring any new features. The 3.51 release is the final database system that will be universal. Base chain, POS chains and prime chains will no longer have separate database structures or dbloader/webserver modules as they do now. This system will appear first in the SCI-FI coins that will be brought online later in the weekend.

Please note that the address will eventually be changed once the testing phase of the new server system is started. The address should then change to the normal CryptoCoin Explorer address system.

The first of the visual updates is up on the CCE3 test Primecoin Explorer.

http://cryptocoinexplorer4.com:2001/

I have a question:

DO you prefer the ABE style block view, like what is on the explorer now or would you prefer the list style used on Blockchain Info?

Please respond in the CCE3 test thread, as to not clutter up this thread.

I've found a whopping 2 blocks in the last week. Remember the good ol' days when that was $20 worth?
