The detailed calculations are in the primecoin high performance thread.
However its starting to get to the point where it might just be easier to download one of the pool miners, let it run for a few days, and just see what you get.
You'll either like the result or not. Unless you have cheap or free power you may not even reach break even against electricity costs. The profit margins on CPU mining are slim.
thanks, your post is what i need to know. |

I don't think so, but JS based code would be interesting to write for XPM. I'm just too bad at math for this. One could imagine running this in the background on visitors CPU as another source of income for web editors / content providers, with visitors approval of course  |

It's not optimal to calculate primes without integers, you would need enormous number of visitors willing to load their machines to get some results. |

No, there's just not much to say. Primes are flying out of CPUs, that's it. It doesn't get any more exciting. Unless a CPU somewhere mines a dragon. Gotta watch those CPU dragons:: very exciting  |

OK, to start something to talk about maybe, here http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=2055.0I posted my calculation to show that Primecoin probably has a limited total supply of ... fasten your seatbelt ... about 25 million, almost the same as BTC. So keep on digging, new primecoins will run out! "The per block return will be less than 0.1XPM after 30 years. " After 15 years about 90% of XPMs will have been mined. Also you can switch to talking about aliens if you read down  |

Anyone knows what is the correct ECKey.privateKeyPrefix for primecoin (XPM)? The following bitaddress version produces priv.keys/address pairs for Peercoin (not Primecoin): http://primecoin.org/bitaddressAnyway, what I need is to know (or where to look precisely on the source) is the priv. key prefix used for Primecoin (XPM). For example, for btc is 0x80, for ltc 0xb0, and for xpm = ? Can someone can show me some direction on how to find this info for xpm (or any other coin) on the source? Thank you! |

I think I have seen a table on bitcoin wiki. Maybe you can ask on his primecointalk.org because fuzztbear wrote this http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=801.msg15593#msg15593 |

On that thread they are talking about Peercoin, and I don't want to get registered on another forum... Thank you anyway for your answer  |

Onkel Paul It's going well, people proving their computers are doing useful work finding prime numbers, breaking records, getting paid, no drama. There are some prime number records here if you want to get excited: http://users.cybercity.dk/~dsl522332/math/Cunningham_Chain_records.htmhttp://primecoin.21stcenturymoneytalk.org/index.php?block_height=368051http://primecoin.21stcenturymoneytalk.org/index.php?block_height=375981More buyers would encourage more people to find more cpus to find more prime numbers. It's better than cracking hashes. |
