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

[drawingthesun]

How hard would it be to make a pool for this? I understand it would be mostly custom code because the proof of work can't be split the same way.

And can anyone think of a way to get a GPU to do this work?

[cloudstrife07]

Sad. I found 14 blocks, but 6 were orphans.

It wouldn't be any harder than any other coin. The RPC interface is the same. I assume the reason pools don't exist yet is because it takes so long for mined coins to mature.

how can i see that?

[Mrko]

Is there anything known about the difficulty? When does it retarget and what the designed time per block?

[simondlr]

Anyone compiled an OS X version yet (or got it running on OS X)?

Awful release of what could have been a nice coin.

- lack of nodes in OP
- lack of info in OP (diff change, blocks/hour, blockreward, etc)
- lack of mining-info in OP

Yeah, I know, we can figure it out... But not everyone is an experienced miner or wants to read a whole topic...

Why spend so much time on creating a new coin and blow it on the release?

u mean the orphans? type listtransactions at your console.

if I'm not mistaken, it's the same as PPC; difficulty is continuously adjusted.

If http://www2.crypto-expert.com/primecoin/ is to be trusted, a little while ago there were 44 connections mining and 20500 XPM already released.
If most of us are getting 1 or 2 rewards at 20XPM per reward... we can estimate we have mined 2640 XPM (estimate based on 3 rewards per connection).

so... Where did all the other rewards go? Pre-Mining by the creator(s)?

People just started mining and people had mined and stopped before. It's a bit silly to estimate, honestly. I doubt Sunny King would premine and not disclose.

There is no premine...

I got the first block after it was released. Using windows client, on a standard home workstation

[ahmed_bodi]

any figures from my site are obtained direct from the daemon. So i would believe that the money supply is correct. but i dont believe there was a premine

PPS 100-130 on an i7-3770K.

I've set all cores while I'm doing nothing else other than browsing for the last 30 minutes now.

I had no trouble building it with Qt Creator on OS X. Compiling primecoind with the OS X makefile works too.

your pps will get a lot higher than that at times... what you have your clocked at?    ive been mining on my 3770k for 14 hours and only found two blocks.. i must be one of the unlucky ones

[bidji29]

i have 170-233 pps.
I have only a i5-3450 3.1ghz OC at 3.5ghz
My 4 core are at 75°C and i mine litecoin at the same time on the GPU.

4 block found in 12 hours



I use "Setgenerate true", someone know what thread is suppose to mean in "setgenerate true <thread>". And what are the best settings?

You're not unlucky i think a lot of people are getting these kind of results. i5 3570 since the start and 1 block only. Prefer the gpu mined ones really.

75°C   What CPU cooler are you using?

[bidji29]

It's the stock fan. I guess i should set the stock frequency too.
I had never really use the CPU at max before this coin.

Overclocking with stock cooler? Oh noo 

[Hydroponica]

Been mining since it launched, not a single fucking coin. This coin is bullshit. The rich getting richer

Poorfag™ here, and I found a block.
