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

[SatyrA]

I do not think  Primecoin needs cap. Inflation rate will decrease with time. From other side mathematical computations are endless    the best marketing strategy is implemetations of various improvements. Coin is not something unchangeable.

I'm looking forward to this.

I feel a coin that produces something useful is a lot better than Bitcoin.

you consider bitcoin useless and empty?

why do you think that the rate of inflation will decrease over time?

Peercoin and Primecoin are come back

Aside of wallet development we could use tools for merchants to implement XPM on their website. Any more usefull or fun functionality added brings value.
I think in the end most important is to increase the ways XPM can be used and integrated in platforms.

I mean that (day emission)/(whole coin amount in circulation) -> 0 with time. That is why uncapped emission not so serious problem. Then we have >100kk coins +10k coins each day do not influence much.

Are the links in the op still valid? Are these wallets legit?

They are legit, but huge problems with sync'' with network,

If someone could upload blocks + chainstate folders, that would be very helpful....

Old client based on bitcoin 0.8.3 synchronizes too slow now, it's become a problem.

[Franz McDinglehofmeisterb]

Is there a place that collects the prime numbers found by Primecoin? Or is it just spinning it's wheels?

Scientific calculation of Cryptocurrency, to me is too profound, completely do not understand ah! This is a good idea, and let it develop more actively.

So what's happening now ? Sunny king still hiding in some dungen?

[d-angel2001]

I'm trying to connect to a primecoind running as daemon using a second computer (supposed for mining only).

My config looks as follows:

Code:

server=1
daemon=1
listen=1

# You must set rpcuser and rpcpassword to secure the JSON-RPC api
rpcuser=primecoinrpc
rpcpassword=XXXX

# Listen for RPC connections on this TCP port:
rpcport=9000

# You can use Bitcoin or bitcoind to send commands to Bitcoin/bitcoind
# running on another host using this option:
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1

rpctimeout=16
rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0
bind=192.168.180.30
externalip=192.168.180.30

Trying t connect from 192.168.180.31 (mining pc running ubuntu + primecoind as client only) results in HTTP 403 Error (using rpcconnect=192.168.180.30 and same rpcuser/rpcpassword)

error: server returned HTTP error 403

Any suggestions?

read the forum i'm picking up on, people who lack ability attempting to modify code they don't really understand, and by the adaption of the coin could totally ruin the coin, it's called Primecoin, for a reason. due to the way it's coded and it's more complex than to let someone come along and try modify it with a limited ability and skill. you'd have to be proper good, and i'm not getting that vibe from what i read here. you'd cause more damage by screwing it.

Its not that easy to manipulate primecoin as most other old coins since it is much better distributed. For other coins "scammers" could easily buy 50% of the coins, do a "relaunch" and dump on the new "investors". I hope this don't happen with primecoin.

http://primecoin.io/bin/primecoin-paper.pdf

if the is no cap on this coin it might need a cap at some point, but only when we see a massive price rise would or should anyone consider a move like this, and i don't think it's any time soon. code in a cap at some point i believe, but no time soon, the only good idea is increase adoption, and use cases, before anyone considers a cap. it's a good coin due to it's maths formula, but i still think it might have to have a cap in the future, because at some point the will be to many. and you will no longer have to keep minting coins, the is a limit to everything.

i get the impression people don't like caps, but at some point you certainly have to cap the supply.

The codebase is very old, the current intention is just to have it updated to the latest Bitcoin codebases, the code isn't being updated for fun - there are vulnerabilities being fixed, there is protocol parameters being modified for the better, to keep Primecoin's code at 0.8 will not be good for the long-term interests of the currency

Primecoin was one of the first coin that I had contact, the famous fork of Peercoin, there is still hope for Primecoin? The community doesn't seem to be the same, but some people keep them alive, since it's still listed on Poloniex, one of the reasons for forgetting would be outdated technology?

Care to explain what happened there?

The whole reboot idea was good, why did you kill and lock your own thread?

I hope it has nothing to do with the likes of 'German Klimenko' babbling utter nonsense...
