>>> Primecoin XPM - Social Media Team !!! ~~~~~~ !!! @_@ :) :D d=) =] :]

i agree... we need GPU miner to push difficult on higher level. But nobody work at GPU miner  now mtrlt didnt posting for month.

I will pitch a 500XPM Bounty for a working GPU miner for Primecoin.  You can quote me saying it anywhere you like and I will keep my word no matter what XPM is priced at up delivery of working GPU Miner.
 I dont even care if it does not outperform cpu by much as long as it works and solves blocks.

Lets all pull some funds for a proper bounty and generate interest in this project. I feel it is better then blindly donating as I personally never like to pay for unfinished projects. This bounty could possibly stimulate more then one dev to attempt this and will be more of a lottery

Social Media team feel free to use my 500xpm pledge if you want to run with it and contact me if needed through PM

Cheers

Not sarcastic, curiousity. Why do we need a GPU miner for Primecoin?

FPGA are around the corner for Scrypt coins and ASICS will follow soon after, I am referring to link below:
http://www.cryptoindustries.com/?product=horus-10mh

Now GPU miners will have no where to go and will either have to dismantle or find the next coin which is still FPGA or ASICS proof (for the time being).
This in turn will help produce more World records, with much faster computation power and strengthen the network. I assume it will also bring the price of the coins up and motivate wider adaptation.


This seems to be the path all coins take to maturity : CPU -> GPU -> FPGA -> ASIC
Unless you are dealing with a clone, in which case all depends on which stage the clone is made.

You might want to start a new thread about this Primecoin GPU development bounty and post about it on the Primecoin forums, it should get more interest. 

[satriani]

sunny could start this kind of thread. He have interview today - maybe someone ask him about it

[matt608]

I've emailed some of the main tech blogs about Primecoin, maybe someone will cover it

My understanding is that unlike SHA-256 and scrypt, which basically do the same thing repeatedly, finding Cunningham Chains uses many different mathematical algorithms, and a ASIC would be so much like a CPU there would be no advantage. Primecoin was developed to be a CPU only coin.

I am confident GPU or Prallela boards can handle this task. At the end we can just make a mobo that will take 16 i7's on it and make it a dedicated miner

maco: What are you working on now?

[satriani]

maco: where is your news? where is your support? where is these article in scientific press?

[cycloid]

All attention in on BTC at the moment, if you are new to this market then just trust my words. Once btc reaches its new high and people find it too
"expensive" to buy attention will once again divert to alts, out if which XPM is one of more standing out ones.

At this point you just need to wait it out, use this time as an opportunity to buy more XPM and dollar cost average your position (look this term up).

All the best and keep up the good work PR team.

Thanks for all the thoughts so far..

I am working on some progressive media contacts directly before we start the retweeting process.

So far, we have had a quite a bit of follower increase and retweeters... Please keep that up!! we are going to make this happen.

Also, don't forget to follow the main forum: http://primecointalk.org and get updates about primecoin directly or

so...
what's new ?
