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

[crendore]

A small announcement on the status of Primecoin and www.CryptoCoinexplorer.com. 

Test Version 3  of CCEIII is live for Primecoin.

Besides many optimizations and behind the scenes improvements, the SEARCH QUERIES ARE UP! 

Left to do before Version 3.5:

- Finish the ledger interface to back trace and display the transactions associated with the account. As of now it only shows the current balance.
- Finish the 'Spent Output' display in the transaction page.

I have decided to try and solve the orphan block issue by placing a 20 second delay between Block Notify and when the database management module queries the daemon for the current block/transaction information.
I am hoping that 20 seconds is enough time for the daemon to discover it has an orphan block and store/report the correct information.

CCEIII still needs many visual improvements. These will come with test version 4 as the extra features are rolled out.

Thank you so much! primecoin was definitely lacking in this department!

XPM is fun

Unlike bitcoin's convoluted and sometimes misleading fee system, in XPM and PPC a minimum transaction fee of 0.01 per KB is required. There is no fee-free transaction. Yeah the wording of that message needs to be fixed a bit.

Where do these fees go?

To the miner who processes the block with the fee attached.

Or do they? I have never gotten larger block. Any1 got a block with fees?

Nobody knows. The only person who is likely capable of making a GPU miner for primecoin Mtmlr has disappeared off of the forums for a week now, without any update.

There is a thread here explaining why it is REALLY hard to code a gpu miner that is really effective. The best there is right now get the same results as a cpu with the gpu extra electricity cost...

The CCEIII development thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=262539.0

I wanted to keep it separate from the official CryptoCoin explorer thread because initial development and testing is temporary vs the long term nature of the master CCE thread.

This last outage was strictly on me and not a bug in the CCEIII software. I am just waiting for the test explorers to get caught up since the last database backup.

People said it wasn't time to bring out the pitchforks yet. Now, a proper week has passed since his last update. Is it time to bring out the pitchforks?

[Tamis]

The guy said he had irl problems to take care of...  Still it is strange he didn't drop by for just a word or two.
He seems to be who he says he is if you read is post describing his work.

Did he provide a beta version of the GPU miner to all people who donated?

It fine if he fails, but then he should refund the donations.

I don't know what was the deal with the donations, but to me a donation implies you don't enter in any contract. Even if he fails, he would spend a lot of time anyway, and this time is supported by these donations.

EDIT: but obviously, whatever happens he should keep people updated, not disappear.

[Lauda]

Well possibly jumped ship, why wouldn't he? He got a ton of money for doing nothing, a lot of people scam here anways..

[elvisrene]
