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

where can we download the wallet and miner software?
Did you read the first post?

I asked for a countdown, not a final countdown

I love those countdown shows... Actually I fancied Carol but hey ho I'm not young either.
Back to topic, it seems like a very good coin, hopefully it can succeed.

I think the community should come to some agreed consensus that if a new alt-coin is released from now on without a white paper, we should all ignore it.
Next alt coin to be released - toiletcoin!
but seriously - good job on the coin, looking forward to more details being released e.g. the full details on the block schedule - number of coins per block, block time, difficulty adjustment rate etc etc.

Just read white paper, looking on with interest.

Great work. I would like to see in this new strain of cryptocoins a way for people to donate money into the network. For example if the EFF want to pay the 50kusd prize for the new Prime found, they can buy PrimeCoins and donate the coins to the network that will be distributed added to the common block rewards. Or something like that...
That would be great!
I'm excited

For example if the EFF want to pay the 50kusd prize for the new Prime found, they can buy PrimeCoins and donate the coins to the network that will be added as extra to the common block rewards.

Well-written paper.
Hmm, I guess I kind of assumed that the scientific community would somehow be able to direct what kind of problems are solved (e.g. SETI@Home).
Primecoin is an important innovation, but less bombastic that what I imagined.
Time will tell how the market values it.

by encouraging the use of a sieve instead of a nonce, doesn't this encourage miners to generate a block header once, and then mine on this single block header - meaning that they are disincentivised to accept new transactions once they have started work on their solution.
This will surely mean that transactions will take longer to confirm, as miners are more likely to solve a block by not accepting new transactions.

Note block spacing target is 1 minute. Even if a miner would like to delay refreshing block candidate to improve sieve efficiency, it must refresh when a new block is announced on network. So the delay on transaction processing is not more than 1 minute.
