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

[Chemisist]

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 

^ this


I've got the Thermaltake Frio on two pcs and its pretty awesome.  Sitting at 43°C with 4 cores on the i5-2500k at 3.7 ghz with it after mining overnight.  Room got a little warm though...

I've also had luck with the (cheaper) Arctic Freezer 7 Pro.

2 hours in and I've mined my first block, 19.85 XPM

I didn't even have to stop my Photoshop editing either so my PPS was averaging about 160-180 while I was working.

This prime number calculation is interesting, but it doesn't seem like a game-changer to me. I mean it's not really that useful.

It is a little like landing on the moon.  We already knew we could probably land on another celestial body even before that.  And it was really not very useful for quite a while.  But it was still a huge step to prove we can actually land on the moon, because it opened the window of all possibilities.

I'm mining since yesterday's start. But I have no luck yet, I didn't mine any XPM.
Are there any rich prime-donators?

Got excited when a message popped up and then I realised I had started the CL client and had received the 1 CL giveaway.

would be hard given there are 0 minted coins thus far

Nobody? I see in this entire thread others had this problem too. It MUST be more than one, it's 15 cores running...

Is your client synchronized with the network?  Try restarting the client too.

[testz]

I wonder how big the network is for now. I have 72 connections on one of my public nodes.

I have 125 connections on my public node  

[vinne81]

I have to work with a SOCKS proxy on this particular machine, so my conn is bad. Only 3 connections. I tried to add the nodes from some pages back to no avail

Edit: anybody else got some nodes to add plox?

Give it a few minutes and the rate will show...

Edit:  nevermind.  just noticed it has been more than a few minutes for you.

I've run second machine 2 hours ago, it is Core i3 2100 with 4GB RAM and Win7 64-bit and got first block.
PPS is varying between 7 and 45 at 75 percent CPU load.

[vinne81]

getpeerinfo

Thank you sir, I now have 8 connections, and 1 PPS. (this can't be right but will hopefully rise)

[nmersulypnem]

Lol im unlucky. Ran for 10 hours on an i7, ~90-110 PPS and no coins found.

Oh good, I'm not the only one...

[KrLos]

I'm unlucky too

8 hours not a single block, 3 trheads. ~60-80 PPS

[mercSuey]

Yep, I stopped mining.  Many hours and not a single block.  Just not worth the electricity.
