Primecoin High Performance (HP8) Question with primecoind.exe

[colinistheman]

(Windows 8 )

I see there are two executables, one is primecoind.exe and the other is the Qt client.

Can I connect to a pool using primecoind? If so, what are the command line parameters? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

If I can't connect to a pool using primecoind, what is it for??

Primecoind is a daemon, basicly that's the node binary, and it is used to connect to other nodes, get the primechain and solo mine primecoins since RPC connections are not implemented in the Primecoin wallet to connect it to pools.

The only pool for primecoins is ypool and it uses jhprimeminer.

Thanks. That helps. I couldn't figure out what to do with that primecoind.exe file!
