gudmunsn, nice haul.

gudmunsn, nice haul.

who knows? I have no idea how this currency will do, and what it will be used for. Maybe it's the next bitcoin, maybe not...?

[david64]

I think a new coin needs to have some good push behind it and a lot of changes over BTC & LTC. I don't think PP or Prime have the former, at least. The website doesn't inspire confidence.

windmaster is going to rape this one

[david64]

windmaster is going to **** this one

Victims will not take kindly to such words.

What am I doing wrong?  I haven't gotten anything and I'm running this on several i7's.

There is no way that is one i7. Definitely has a couple CPUs mining

my question would be, what is the temps of the cores?

No idea what the core temps are. I just did "setgenerate true 8" for both my laptop and desktop, and they each have 122 XPM, or around 240. I assumed everyone had a similar experience...

It's all good I'm just jealous 

[Chemisist]

How does one go about using bitcoind to mine primecoins from the command line?

I'd consider selling but need to wait for 2721 more blocks before I get my first 20 coins. d'oh!

Currentblocksize has to do with the number of bytes in the block (it's size), not the number of coins in the block (the reward).

[dreamwatcher]

A couple of notes as I travel through the source..working on getting a full accurate explorer on CCE.

2 questions I see pop up in this thread:

1. The block size is not the mint value of the block. The block size is used to calculate transaction fees.

Mint value is calculated like this:

Code:

/ Get mint value from target
// Primecoin mint rate is determined by target
//   mint = 999 / (target length ** 2)
// Inflation is controlled via Moore's Law

2. You cannot compare the difficulty values of Primecoin to any other coins difficulty. The difficulty in Primecoin is completely different. A difficulty of 7 in Primecoin has no correlation with the difficulty in Litecoin.

Both of these are explained in more detail in the whitepaper.
