so how do i mine this? which miner i have to use?

Initially it is cpu mining using the actual qt client.

So all we need to do is download and install the client from github?

Is it going to take much time to sync?
Considering the blockchain is starting today, I don't think so.

It was only the wind.
Well, I guess the white paper is pretty vague on the limits.
So we'll see what the actual limits are in a couple of hours.
When I discovered this coin last night, I had hoped it would be finding all prime numbers so that eventually bitcoin could be attacked using the prime numbers found by this coin.

Which would be poetic, imho.

As I understand having a complete list of huge primes would compromise a lot of systems, not just bitcoin itself.

Would you mind giving a brief summary of why that is so?

In this case, Primecoin isn't a passive alternative to Bitcoin but a hostile competitor?

Where is the scientific use of prime number chains?

The discover of new prime numbers as I understand.
In the white paper it describes only using prime numbers which can be easily verified, so that rules out actively searching for large prime numbers, doesn't it?

Dude, verifying a number is prime is easy.
