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

[LazyOtto]

I make no claim to successful predictions.

However, some of my posts in this thread have been as Lucifer's Laywer. (I hope y'all are all familiar with him.)

Full disclosure, I have mined some and I have made speculative purchases in both the PrimeCoin and PissCoin (Oops, is that DickCoin? - I don't much like the name; can you tell?     ) spaces. NOTE: I have filled my targeted level of exposure in both those markets for a while. We'll (I'll) see how my positions play out over the next year or two.

Now, to respectfully respond to your questions.

1) I see a transition to GPU, or better yet FPGA, mining as a 'good thing'. Because it is *slightly* harder on GPUs, IMO, to do that with a bot-net (and totally not viable once FPGAs become predominate) and more significantly because it completely shuts down the "spin'em up as you want'em" VM game.

2) I can offer no advice. If I could read / interpret those charts with a high degree of success I would be a rich man day trading with real money.

Oops. I see that I didn't really *directly* respond to either of the questions posed.

That's because I don't really believe I can. (With excellent chances of being correct.)

I've done the best I can. Take it for what it's worth, please.

Yes, you have avoided the direct answer to especially No1 Never mind, thanks for the effort, it's really interesting how and if the GPU game would be played out.

Thank you. "I have always relied on the kindness of strangers."

We all live in interesting times nowadays.

Well for starters, GPU game change means all the VPM machines would be stopped and useless.

Hmmm, didn't someone suggest that?

<lol>

Well, that was a pretty quick crash.

At or below 0.002 on all three exchanges now.

I hope all y'all with a monthly commitment to pay for VM's have made your nut by now.  

I'd like to thank those who bought most of mine at .00722. I salute thee.

+1

Not quite 0.00722 here, 0.006750. Close enough

[LazyOtto]

As I've stated, I've finished my mining / trading in this market for a while.

However, for those still actively in the short-term (one to three month) game, looks to me that bouncing off a floor of 0.001 is not at all unreasonable / unexpectable.

[OnlyC]

I better sold at 0.006 and buy at this time. But still holding

I put in that order and left and was stunned to find it filled. The rest was ~.0066, followed by a few lucky blocks for less. Haven't had anything but orphans since. I think the mining gig is about up, or more aptly has been.

The increased diff won't translate to higher prices, long term it never has. Only speculation that the coin will have some future "mass" adoption has increased price. DGC is the most successful post-FTC "crap coin" and it's taken a lot of work on the part of the devs to get it there. Remains to be seen what kind of support XPM has. I'm guessing not as much.

Orphan City here on my end.

I had serious doubts at the time of the sale, wondering if I was being superdumb. But, like every new coin hitting an exchange, after a few hours it starts to drop. CPU only, innovations, whatever, they don't matter. Most people (miners in this case) are here to make a quick buck, whether you like it or not

Madness very nice

no Orphans included
with orphans the counter could be 2500 blocks -.-
regret many decisions, but 500% profit is 500% profit

edit: and i know someone take much more instances ^^

Are the amazon machines easy to setup like digital ocean?  I had a hard time trying to get the free one setup, it kept telling me to wait for the account to be authorized.  Secondly do you have to go over to the security page and create keys for each vpm?

[Fablio2]

Generation of block's is ~5 sec. Why? They must be generated every ~60 sec.

I have tried using their pool and get around 4000pps with their miner currently

I misread this too as coins, that's about 10k coins...
