Somebody probably made a GPU miner.

I saw some buy offers on the Google Doc for .175 LTC a piece.

About 91033 primes.

HAs anyone successfully built on MS Visual Studio?

I gave up with VS 2010 and installed Xubuntu to do my recompiling

I just succeed to compile with mingw. I used this thread for instructions: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0

Thanks for pointing this out. For anyone wanting to compile on windows, here you go. Most complete guide you're going to find. I was having trouble getting boost installed previously. This thread got me pointed in the right direction. Stock (unmodified) primecoind is compiling happily now on Win7 x64.

I followed the same guide actually, works like a charm.  I do have a question though:

Since I have the basic compile working properly, I'd now like to compile for x64 / i7 / AVX, but with mingw I'm not exactly sure how. I assume there would be some extra flags necessary within the makefile for primecoind?  If so, does boost etc also need to be compiled with those flags, or only the compile of primecoind itself?

Rather newbish questions, but I'm quite new at this myself.

Somebody probably made a GPU miner.

My rough observations:

• Day 1 block spacing was in the range 40 - 110 seconds | difficulty 7 - 7.2
• Day 2 block spacing was in the range 10 - 40 seconds | difficulty 7.2 - 7.33

However, so far Day 3 has been less aggressive:

• block spacing in the range 20 - 40 seconds | difficulty ~7.4 and increasing

I would expect block spacing to drop under 10 seconds if an efficient miner was released.

I've sold some XPM for 0.2 LTC - however, my asking price is 0.3 LTC

It ranges from ~0.2LTC per XPM up to 0.5LTC per XPM. At the moment.

Why are people denominating in LTC? I have to convert to BTC in my head in order to interpret.

That would put it at AT LEAST $60k in marketcap already... above Megacoin and below Worldcoin.

litecoin has been pretty stable at 2.50 usd for a while.. so ltc is not a bad denomination to use....

Once some of my blocks mature, I'm thinking of doing a giveaway thread. Maybe .1 or .2?

I've mined 4 blocks in the last 36 hours with my i7, totaling 74 XPM. At an exchange rate of .2 LTC/XPM, that equals about 6 USD. LOL not bad for running my desktop on low priority for a day.

Um at a rate of 1 LTC per 5 XPM, that's 14.8 LTC equaling about $36 at current market rates.

2.46LTC/USD, not 2.46USD/LTC. LOL I wish though. I made the same mistake and quick edited my post before someone saw.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

well, look on the bright side, the price of 1 LTC is 2.46 USD

I'm confused, but I can't say I'm not upset. LOL not going to argue with 30 bucks.
