Since it is also only used by a probable-scamcoin at this point, I'd also like to express my preference that others not encourage/help non-developers use it for now, outside of improving the code/documentation in git.
(However, to be clear, I will also not hold any grudge or hard feelings against those who do.)
What makes you say that? As far as I see, primecoin and the same developer's ppcoin look like the only bitcoin-derivatives to bring something new and worthwhile to the table since namecoin.

By ignoring the question, he gives off the impression that hes is trying to dissuade people from pursuing it while he capitalizes on a miner 100x more efficient.  I don't know if thats what he is doing, but it appears to be the case since he has not stated his apprehensions beyond his provocative remarks.

About 100x.

primemeter advertising a 10x improvement above the previous optimized "official" build.
No block yet, will check in tomorrow.

[OVER] RIDDLES 2nd edition --- this was claimed. Look out for 3rd edition!

What's primemeter?

Btw, I was finally able to get this to build and run bfgminer. Bfgminer is pegged at 800% so I must be doing somethign right Wink.  With that said primecoind getmininginfo is showing "0" for pps. is that expected?

--

I figured out primemeter is part of bfgminer.  Still not sure why getmininginfo is showing "0" though. Probably because bfgminer is being used instead. I do not have any accepted blocks yet. Also my pps is showing as 995pps but displayed multiple times from primemeter. Is this the pps per core?  If no, this is lower than primecoind which was giving 1500pps

Client node has no API support yet. Feel free to propose an API format for e.g. getwork.

Considering the prime calculation speeds that are likely to be achieved, and the block spacing being so short, GetBlockTemplate seems like the best API format for Primecoind.

When run autogen.sh I get this error.

Code:
Running autoreconf -if...
./autogen.sh: 20: ./autogen.sh: autoreconf: not found

Any tip?

Sounds like this crowd is showing their true colours....
Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

And no, getwork won't work. It's been deprecated for a long time before Primecoin was even announced, I don't know why Sunny included it or why people expect it to work.
GBT, on the other hand, works fine without primecoind modification.

I think it's hardly surprising to see unsupported criticism criticized.

You have yet to explain why you believe primecoin is a scam. I am not here to argue with anyone, but you have no sound reasoning at this time. Unless you are just very nonchalantly trolling  Roll Eyes

Well, I'm very confused now. I searched through all the primecoind command line and configuration options and see nothing about being able to select whether getwork or getblocktemplate is being used in the primecoind client.

When I start bfgminer with the --no-getwork option, it will not connect to primecoind. When I start bfgminer without the --no-getwork option, it connects to primecoind but cannot solve blocks.

When I search for GBT and how to use it, the Wiki page (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Getblocktemplate) says to use a GBT compatible miner with a compatible pool.

Does anyone know how to use GBT versus getwork in the primecoind or bitcoind server?

Except all the times I already explained why in the main Primecoin thread.
