Due to a coming GPU miner, this bounty has now been withdrawn!


Hello! I'm offering up 2.5BTC of my own money to the first person who releases a standalone CPU miner for primecoin that performs as well if not better than the primecoin implementation already in the client. Irritant has also pledged 1 BTC.

FAQ: "Why is ypool not getting this bounty?"
A: Does not run native on Linux (requires wine).
Requirements:
Compiled windows binary
Compiled linux binary (or put it in an easy-to-use git repository, we want to make this available to everyone)
Published source code (github preferred!)

If you want to add to the bounty, just respond in this thread. I'm not going to collect for the bounty, we can just send it to the winner when they win.


Reasons for a CPU-standalone miner:
Pooling computing power to leverage against luck
Ability to submit shares to pools, 'guarantees' income (smooths out the bumps, etc.)
Not all miners need a full blockchain and client, etc.

Cheers!
