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

[Arcas]

I sold 70 primecoins for .25BTC on Coins-e a few hours ago and cleaned out the bid table. Lol I love small markets.

yeah suckers born every minute.

why buy primecoin....hey I'll sell you actual real life prime numbers if you like people?

I still have a couple more blocks that haven't matured yet, I'll probably dump'em when Primecoin hits BTC-E. $25 for running my desktop for 72 hours, not bad lol.

yeah there be plenty of miners sweating on their block maturing, to get them sold asap while its the current flavor

Just sold another block for $5 worth of Bitcoins. Nom nom nom those bid walls are delicious.

Do you happen to have a link to this site?

coins-e.com

Warning, the site is pretty shitty. No https or SSL, so trade with caution. It was the only site I found with them listed already.

I just added Primecoin to http://coinmarketcap.com.  ~$50k now... should be interesting to watch where it goes from here. 

Which market are your calculations drawing from?

Currently http://www.coins-e.com/exchange/XPM_BTC/

[Arcas]

You have a point. This isn't another shitcoin, but you do have a point.

Exactly, I believe that this is a cool currency with a great concept behind it. I'm just basing my decisions on logic, instead of greed, unlike most of the market.

Bitcoin isn't golden in this respect either, but I'm trading a currency based on faith for a currency based on slightly more faith. I might want to buy something that I can't get with Bitcoins, so I'll then trade those for a currency with based on even more faith, at which point I can walk into a store and buy a bag of Skittles, the best currency, because I don't need faith when I know for a fact that Skittles are delicious.

At the current pace of difficulty,  block reward will be less than 1 XPM in 25 days.  You are looking at a massive spike in valuation when people realize this coin will have a very limited supply.

Doesn't work, needs libgcc DLL.

Sorry about that, I will recompile with static.

Actually,  I'm having that problem as well - how do you compile embedding the DLLs?

Add '-static' to the end of the LDFLAGS in the makefile.

That doesn't seem to help.  I notice the primecoin-qt.exe is only 8MB compared to 22MB for the original.   It runs as long as I have the DLLS in the system windows path, but that's annoying to do on multiple machines.  Do I need to include the /bin/ dirs somewhere in the makefile?  Something is not linking...

Dude, you first have to have static libs to link against.

Isn't that why I include all this stuff....

Okay, you probably aren't a coder, so let me explain. There are two types of libraries, static and dynamic. Static libraries are literally included inside the executable file, dynamic libraries are not. Most apps use dynamic libraries these days, because they only have to be loaded into memory once, and then everything that needs it can access it. Because of this, when you build a library like Boost, usually you build dynamic libraries. Dynamic libraries on Windows are DLL files, that's how you can tell.

No, I totally understand all that.  What I don't understand is literally where I specify that a specific library should be static vs dynamic.  I put the -static flag in the build command (along with a few other variations), but it didn't change anything.  I listed the LIBS above because I thought maybe I f'd up a path that would be obvious to someone else... :/

Like I said, speculation rarely keeps up with minting after the hype in Altcoins, and the fact that I made $40 just running my i7 desktop for 3 days makes me very cautious about the valuation.

Whoever just bought 50 primes @ .0004 your welcome!!!   I made my first exchange booboo!!!      Makes me very sad!  I meant to put the order and leave it for .004


I'm gonna go break something like a lunatic now over 20$ worth of btc lost lol..

[ReCat]

while you're at it, do that with fontas's neck for all the shit he caused us

I'm down!  I wish the person that bought that saw it and felt pitty to where he at least sent me 25 back.. shame we live in a world where greed makes me want to tell people to kill themselves and do bad things to there pets..

And because i don't care.. and despite i don't know what your talking about?!   

hey fontas!   FUCK YOU!

There was no trade executed for 0.0004...

You coders are so cute, but you know nothing about the economics of money--like everyone else.

+1 Informative post that added to the discussion

/s

It's a smart idea, but mathematically, Primecoin is on a race to the bottom, so I have to play a little Game Theory.

$40 for just typing setgenerate true 3 days ago is clearly unsustainable, sooo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX0fIi3H-es

It worked for bitcoin. Okay, that's a hard one to measure up to. It worked for litecoin. Primecoin seems to be similar to litecoin in that cpu miners are competitive, but it actually does it in a less artificial and interesting way.

See bold above. You probably didn't BUILD the static libs.

I built everything per the instructions, using b2 --build-type=complete

I see the linux variants of the static libraries "*.a".  I'm not clear where the static libraries go...  Do they end in .lib always?

no trades for .0004 lowest was 0.00110001, so maybe that trade of 50 split between (0.00110001 and 0.00110005) ?
