Not really sure, how this compiled. What I got was "bitcoind" client, and:

/primecoin/primecoin/src# ./bitcoind getinfo
{
    "version" : 80000,
    "protocolversion" : 70001,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 71942,
    "connections" : 8,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 244.21322309,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1373220771,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "errors" : ""
}

{
    "version" : 80000,
    "protocolversion" : 70001,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 71942,
    "connections" : 8,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 244.21322309,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1373220771,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "errors" : ""
}

SunnyKing has not mined the genesis block yet perhaps?

[captainfuture]

hey. at least we have a wallet

[amytheplanarshift]

Obviously we are just going to have to wait for a reply from Sunny because nobody knows what is going on.

[Lauda]

No block source available

Is this intentional? This way everyone can download the client and get it running so that the first few people who download it don't have a massive advantage?
