It's still coming and I'm still waiting...
This is a good idea that crypto is useful for anything more than p'n'd. That's why it's worth waiting

Just added Primecoin to my Blockchain-Explorer.

Hey guys,

i am the dev of CoinClicks.info
and i would like to invite you to join (and test) my project.

CoinClicks is a multi-cryptocurrency Paid-to-Click (PTC) service,
where you can earn your favorite Altcoins and use them to advertise your website.

Primecoin is one of the first 10 supported Altcoins.

Please let me know what you think,
or contact me if you run into any problems or have any questions.

Is there some specific way I'm supposed to backup the wallet?

Usually I just copy the wallet file and put it on a flash drive right from the directory, but when I try to restore the wallet with XPM I get wallet data corrupt, can't restore.

Usually I just copy the wallet file and put it on a flash drive right from the directory, but when I try to restore the wallet with XPM I get wallet data corrupt, can't restore.

The better way to go would be to dump out all of the private keys in your wallet, or at least the ones that have non-zero balances.  To do this, you'll first need to dump all of your wallet addresses.  This avoids issues with binary wallet incompatibility (as might happen when coin daemons are built with different bdb versions).

Something like this should do the trick:

Code:

(for i in `primecoind listtransactions "" 9999999 | grep addr | sort | uniq | sed "s/\",//;s/.*\"//"`; do echo -n $i" "; primecoind dumpprivkey $i; done ) 2>&1 | grep -v error

It finds all addresses associated with the transactions in your wallet.  It then tries to retrieve private keys.  This will fail for other people's addresses, but we filter those out.  You should get a space-separated list of addresses and private keys as output.  Verify that these addresses contain your wallet's entire balance before you get rid of it.

what miner is being used with gpus for primecoin?

[xcapator]

what miner is being used with gpus for primecoin?

you can try the following miners:
Open Source XPM Pool + GPU Miner (aka. madPrimeMiner) (with updates by eXtremal)
Claymore XPM (PrimeCoin) GPU Miner

Does anyone knows the amount of hour for primecoin earnings to be confirmed while mining?

I am using ypool.

Does anybody know if it is possible to perform merge mining with primecoin? There doesnt seem to be a great amount of information regarding the nuances of this currency and it would be very interesting to know

Thanks

This would be impossible to merge mining with primecoin(XPM) as XPM is totally different algorithm for mining!
As you might have seen, coins that support scrypt would likely the ones to merge.

If there another kind of coins down in history that about being created that supports same algorithm as (XPM) miner then it might be possible to merge at that point but I guess we need to wait! Sorry!

No problem, thank you for the response

I'm very excited about primecoin, long term it seems to me to have a bright future even though the price is low at the moment.
Looking forward to seeing some online applications like a blockchain.info equivalent emerging hopefully.

Mining for prime number chains rather than simply wasting energy is a stroke of pure genius, it seems to me that the full potential of what this algorithm represents has yet to be fully understood maybe even by Sunny King himself.

Will continue watching with great interest

I am also excited, with GPU mining, I am earning 1 (xpm) every 2nd day on average! Too bad not many merchants deal with XPM yet and still it's one of most traded!

In addition what xcaptor explained, it best using claymore latest version seen below:

Claymore XPM GPU miner v13

primarcoin miner:

Few notes:
The first mentioned above is the best and all GPU miners here supports solo and pool.
So far as I gather only ypool.net is supported but test those with other XPM pool though
