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

[matt4054]

It seems the prices on exchanges will skyrocket eventually as even higher pps rates does not yield that much of blocks.

The problem is that the market price will probably be biased lower at some point, due to many "smart kids" hijacking resources they have access to, but are not paying for, and they will be dumping their CPU-farmed coins at zero cost en masse...

Hopefully, they will be taunted soon enough by their parents / boss / university management when they get the electricity bill, or when all IT room users complain about how slow the computers are, or simply why it is so hot in the room in spite of air conditioning...

But then come the botnets... and we're pretty much doomed until we shift to GPU mining

I've added primecoin to my charts website:

http://cryptometer.org/primecoin_96_hour_charts.html

Interesting chart. But the logarithmic Y scale is misleading. block/hour rate on averate (100) overshoots target (60) by 66% ! But on the plot it looks much smaller.

^ This.

Anyone who thinks CPU mining "levels the playing field" is deluding themselves.

PPS has nothing to do with the fucking rate of paying primes you find, it has been said over and over again not to trust it or use it as a bench marking tool && pick a client stay with it and count how many paying primes you find in a week then dribble about client + HW = avg rate of paying primes - factored in variable loss otherwise don't even waste your energy trying && forget what you know about other coin algos and stop comparing it to others && stop setting rpcuser and passwords for a fucking built in miner client &&  use the fucking search feature for the forum before asking your lazy questions filling up a dev thread with junk so people that are busy have no way of surfing it all to get the valuable info && understand its pretty much a WIP, "research" is the quote && learn to build your own windows clients its interesting and would make a great thread && go and try to get the bfgminer going its much more productive then trying to figure out why you sometimes get paying primes and sometimes not after not even a week of a brand new unfinished coin && ITS NOT FUCKING HASHING!!! && stop worrying about fucking bonnets and gpu farms its pointless you just look like a misinformed tool not to mention un original, if the diff goes up and the paying primes are slow then the value should go up...if it dosn't then fuck off and find something else to do to make money....play kenny rogers the gambler and learn something && if your client is following the blockchain and it lines up with the fucking block explorer and you can see cpu action for the client then you're priming and you will eventually get a payout...

Try again, if you feel like being read, but this time with paragraphs, without calling us names, and without the hate. Thank you.

Congratulations Primecoin Community!!

We just 'minted' a mark for the history of the Crypto-World ~~~~

35 hours+ with PC mining i5 CPU @ 400 - 600 PPS (no block for 35+ hours)


hm.. I'd be happy to even see a return on my hardware/resources,
but it doesn't look like that will be happening anytime soon.

It's not just you. I have friends I convinced to try this coin and they are getting blocks and I have been mining it for over 24 hours on 5 machines with about a 2800 combined rate and not one block yet.

Wow. I must be really lucky.

[mustyoshi]

Can a math whiz give us a formal estimation of the amount of pps required to reach each difficulty?

Installed the latest official qt and it crashed.

Program: primexoin-qt.exe
File: src/main.cpp
Line: 1719

Expression: pfork!= NULL



Whats wrong? Already re-installed.

Where did you download it from? look at the file name, primexoin?

oops, it's just a typo.. But anyone know whats worng and how to fix it?

[Lauda]

Another 24hour miner set on, hopefully this new release brings more luck

Anyone know how to fix this issue?

Same error occurs if you have already imported key.

Thanks. For future reference, in case someone runs into this.. The problem was solved here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=252944.msg2723456#msg2723456

Same error occurs if you have already imported key.

Yes, It is now solved in that thread. Read Ivanlabrie's message. It works: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=252944.msg2723456#msg2723456

Having a hard time finding blocks, if you feel so inclined tip me :p

Tip sent. You earned it!!

Tip for ivanlabrie sent to: AMmrtkcUhRzx8reDohEMJ3t8Dae142D4ys

Yeah, I finally broke my bad streak with 1 block (after 48+ hours) of not a single thing on a couple servers + PC.

Luck is the name of the game. A few hours after installing 1.1 on an older semperon dual core I hit a block while my i3 has been chugging away for days (total, not just since updating to 1.1) hasn't had a hit for a couple of days now (though I have 95 coin total from it so far).
