What would be the scientific advances of finding prime numbers?

Where is the scientific use of prime number chains?
The discover of new prime numbers as I understand.
Dude, verifying a number is prime is easy.

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.

interesting...
can you prove that there will always exist a chain for any hash and any difficulty?
I guess a "proof" that relies on widely accepted conjectures (like the Rihemann Hypothesis) should suffice.

Will primecoin use similar protocols for getWork and other miner functions, or will a program like cgminer have to be rebuilt from the ground up to support PrimeCoin?

So, can we get a counter or something? I am not good with all that timezone stuff.

Go do some conversion for your timezone...

Just to get you all excited!! https://github.com/FuzzyBearBTC/Primecoin
But serious note i'll be putting a copy of the original source there as well for people to build from and I'll see if I can add any compiled binaries and conf file examples etc and node list

Nice idea and I love the fairness. I'll join in and see what happens

100x Amazon EC2, 4.5$x100 = 450$ per hour go go
Oh lol, yeah it will be "fair cpu-only' start
EC2s are publicly available to everyone that wants to put their hand in their pocket.
