i founded 3 bloks 1 day after release then, i keep mining since 4 days now in two computers and not a single block founded. xD i will try this weekend, if i can't reach atleast 1 block with the two machines, i'm out.

Where did all the blocks go Sad?
Seems like difficulty went up. I have 20 servers, they had near block per hour, and last several hours nothing
+1 this is quite concerning.  I have > 100k pps running and not a single block in the last 2 hours just doesn't seem right

There are probably an infinite number of primes. Really, how scientifically useful is this endeavor?

More than computing SHA256(SHA256(x)) :s
But it was never argued that there was any intrinsic value in generating hashes. That was merely the mechanism chosen due to being computationally expensive and having a mathematically provable output for input.


IMO, the subject line of this thread is just marketing glossy paper BS. primecoin is no more "scientific" than any other numerical computation. (I welcome links to serious papers, not SK's 'Sunday Supplement' level one, which refutes that assertion.)

Price Equilibrium

Please punch holes in these thoughts.
I welcome amicable disagreement. Smiley

Seems to me there is a hard price ceiling on any CPU mined coin. That ceiling is bounded by the cost of procuring Virtual MIPS (virtual machines spun up on demand through Amazon or where ever). If the cost per transient mip procured is lower than the recovery cost on the generated by those purchased mips then there is an obvious incentive to just spin up sufficient VMs to harvest the delta percentage profit.

And, this is even more so in the case of any coin which has an open ended creation quantity. If the quantity which can be mined is finite then there is some incentive to over buy VM supplied mips in the speculation that the created with those mips might be worth more in the future than the current cost of production. If infinite are possible, just spin up the VMs whenever the sell price is higher than VM rental price required to generate one.

Welcome to cryptsy.com Primecoin miners and traders. We at cryptsy.com are very excited to support another Sunny King coin!

Yeah, so Cryptsy can murder it in cold blood.

Just mining my own business...
Luck is the name of the game. A few hours after installing 1.1 on an older semperon dual core I hit a block while my i3 has been chugging away for days (total, not just since updating to 1.1) hasn't had a hit for a couple of days now (though I have 95 coin total from it so far).

Tip sent. You earned it!!

Tip for ivanlabrie sent to: AMmrtkcUhRzx8reDohEMJ3t8Dae142D4ys

Yeah, I finally broke my bad streak with 1 block (after 48+ hours) of not a single thing on a couple servers + PC.

Having a hard time finding blocks, if you feel so inclined tip me :p

Thanks. For future reference, in case someone runs into this.. The problem was solved here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2723456

Same error occurs if you have already imported key.

Yes, It is now solved in that thread. Read Ivanlabrie's message. It works: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2723456

Anyone know how to fix this issue?

Improving PRIV Key from (immature block)

When I get the privkey info, I go to console on my PC Wallet, and query: importprivkey
and I get the following error.

12:11:32  Error adding key to wallet (code -4)


Unlock wallet before doing it, posted how in the other thread.

oops, it's just a typo.. But anyone know whats worng and how to fix it?

Can a math whiz give us a formal estimation of the amount of pps required to reach each difficulty?
