I myself also jumped on the wrong chains three times already. Because the block generating is so fast now collisions are much more likely.

Block generation should be slower. 60 seconds is just too fast.

people are complaining not get blocks Cheesy

If it was set slower many miners would quit.

~570 primespersec with Release 12! :O

Release 12? Is this release from the windows zip file at the start? Any link appreciated Wink

Some of my observations:

The average block generating speed for the first 1000 blocks was about 44s;
The average block generating speed right now (around block 21400) is about 8.8s;
Considering difficulty and other factor, I calculated the total mining power increases 72 times. If we assume the algorithm optimizing provide 7 fold improvement, then I guess the miner base increased by a factor of 10 since start.

Just redownloaded the block chain and watched the logs fly by, lots of orphans started too show up since this morning. Must be someone out there figured out an external miner? or people using DigitalOcean(VPS)

I myself also jumped on the wrong chains three times already. Because the block generating is so fast now collisions are much more likely. My personal experience with the new "released" version has a 10fold pps than before. If that's the case for everyone then 7 times more CPUs are running, which makes sense to me.

The publicity for PrimeCoin is really good. Only 5 days into mining there are already like 4 or 5 reports on the internet, including 2 headline articles from Bitcoin Magazine. So it is not so surprising a lot more people try to enbark the adventure.:-)

I have a ton of blocks saying offline probably wont be accepted?? what is up with that? did this fork or something and all my blocks are lost?

I came by to post exactly this, last three blocks look like orphans...

this has forked because i just closed and restarted and the stupid qt is now saying 36 hours behind and all those blocks just vanished. I was mining on the wrong chain and i bet others probably are too. Waste of 2 days.

Yep, but these are 15 blocks dating back a few days suddenly all turned to question marks saying offline and no other nodes recognise them and probably wont be accepted?? Is this a fork, and i mining on the wrong chain ?? how to solve this?

I know some had issues with very low primespersec and that was addressed in the last release. I m using the Mac osx client and used to have around 120 primespersec, know I m around 2-3. Any way to fix that?

what is prime calculation good for?

Primes are to mathematics what elements are to chemistry.

You, sir, are awesome for bringing Chemistry into this

Not really. There is a finite number of elements, but an infinite number of primes.

Are you sure? Neutron stars aren't effectively superheavy atoms, for example? Or do they contain no protons, or something?

I suppose you could maybe claim universes are not infinite therefore there must be some finitely large largest atom in any specific non-infinite universe but even if our universe happens not to be infinite are all others also? Etc... Maybe there are islands of stability of infinite sized universes as well as islands of stability of elements?

I've been up for 36 hours cause of this coin, and still am not ready to rest.

Wow

Either you've mined a lot of blocks, or you are really passionate about primes Tongue

Mining on my netbook, my laptop, my desktop, and my mining rig.

He's referring to primes being the building blocks of the integers.

FYI, I have a Core i5 2400S and release11 gives me ~350 pps while release12 ~500 pps. Numbers fluctuate though, but I was hoping release11 would be better for me.. Maybe I didn't wait long enough for numbers to improve, heh.

EDIT: I don't understand the hashing algorithm, but why would pps rate fluctuate so much? "getmininginfo" returns anywhere from 400 to 550 pps... I've never seen such hash rate changes.

Sadly release 12 is crashing for me when starting up.
Edit: And release 11.
