Anyone knows what is the correct ECKey.privateKeyPrefix for primecoin (XPM)? The following bitaddress version produces priv.keys/address pairs for Peercoin (not Primecoin): http://primecoin.org/bitaddressAnyway, what I need is to know (or where to look precisely on the source) is the priv. key prefix used for Primecoin (XPM). For example, for btc is 0x80, for ltc 0xb0, and for xpm = ? Can someone can show me some direction on how to find this info for xpm (or any other coin) on the source? Thank you! I think I have seen a table on bitcoin wiki. Maybe you can ask on his primecointalk.org because fuzztbear wrote this http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=801.msg15593#msg15593 |

No, there's just not much to say. Primes are flying out of CPUs, that's it. It doesn't get any more exciting. Unless a CPU somewhere mines a dragon. Gotta watch those CPU dragons:: very exciting  that's the most creative thing i've heard on these forums. |

On that thread they are talking about Peercoin, and I don't want to get registered on another forum... Thank you anyway for your answer  |

No, there's just not much to say. Primes are flying out of CPUs, that's it. That's one of the nice things about primecoin: It does not need spectacular talk of how it's going to the moon and all that crap. It's interesting in itself. Onkel Paul It's going well, people proving their computers are doing useful work finding prime numbers, breaking records, getting paid, no drama. There are some prime number records here if you want to get excited: http://users.cybercity.dk/~dsl522332/math/Cunningham_Chain_records.htmhttp://primecoin.21stcenturymoneytalk.org/index.php?block_height=368051http://primecoin.21stcenturymoneytalk.org/index.php?block_height=375981More buyers would encourage more people to find more cpus to find more prime numbers. It's better than cracking hashes. |

Does anyone know how to get the current difficulty usually found
in the qt-wallet / debug window?
I dont want grab this from other sites, i need a real time solution for win7.
any ideas?

PrimeCoin [XPM] value falling down... Should I buy this coin right now?
The price change over last week has been <10%, relatively stable for a altcoin. You should buy only if you can justify the purchase to yourself; relying on others for your financial decisions is poor form. |

Hey Trillium. I'm considering CPU Mining on a few Core 2 Duo computers. is the diff low enough to reap any noticeable profits on them? Cheers.

what is your PPS? My slowest CPU is a 4 core phenom ii @ 2.8 ghz. It takes about 3 days to get one coin in that CPU. |

I just started mining XPM & I'm getting about 700-800 PPS on 1 PC... can anyone confirm what weekly payout I'd be looking at receiving? (I'm using the BEEEEER pool)

WTF are you mining with, a calculator watch? The phenom I mentioned above will do aroun 13k on 3 cores, and 17k on 4 cores. |

PPS vary wildly based on the miner used. jhPrimeminer can claim 22K PPS while xolominer (or the HP wallet miner) will report 4K PPS . Not because any one of them is significantly faster than the other, they just have two different ways for determing what a Prime-Per-Second is.

Hey Cat, I've recently done (and re-done) a lot of calculations on CPU mining profitability and in my situation determined that it's now only profitable to mine on two of my most energy efficient CPU's. Even then its not much money. Its enough to cover the electricity costs of the base system while my graphics cards are pumping out scrypt coins. I've ceased CPU mining on not only core 2 duo's but also core 2 quads that do not support AESNI / AVX kind of accelerated instruction sets which are highly beneficial to some CPU coins. |

How far away(time wise), if this hasn't already been happening, is prime coin from discovering previously unfound primes?

It's basically happening all the time (similarly with every software that's generating large primes, such as many encryption programs). Primes are not really sparse, so when you find a (large) prime, the probability that no one found it before you it is pretty high, and finding previously unfound primes is neither interesting nor hard. There are special kinds of primes (for example Mersenne primes) whose properties make it possible to prove their primality for much bigger values than is possible for randomly picked numbers, so the absolutely biggest prime numbers are typically of these kinds, but primecoin does not search for such primes. What primecoin does is searching for special patterns (cunningham chains) of primes which are much rarer, so the task is usable as a proof-of-work mechanism. It is not yet clear whether the results will have practical uses outside of their primary use of protecting the primecoin blockchain, but it is conceivable that when research around some theorem around primes and cunningham chains needs many relatively long chains, the data will be welcome by researchers.
