Can i go to sleep or is there a slight chance you'll release it to the public in the next few hours? 
Probably not.I'll only release it after BFGMiner is working well with it, AND if I've concluded Primecoin isn't a scamcoin.

I seem to be over 1000pps pretty consistently after some optimization. 
What kinda CPU you running on?I think it was around 90 pps before I optimized it.

After compiling with optimization flags, a setgenerate true 1 on my stock i3 2120 is getting 80+ pps.

Id be interested in buying a few of these coins once it gets up and going and someone has some
Also the devs can just kill the program?

Hm...with one VM I have on a Xeon server:
And from an almost identical one (right next to it on the rack... about 1.5x more powerful, actually):
Notice, PPS on the first is 105 and on the second is 2.... any ideas what could cause this? Same binary....both VMs don't have crazy low CPU contraints/throttling (set up the same way), etc....the process is maxing out the CPU on both...

PPS fluctuates. It's not a good metric for measuring speed.

I got 8 active connections when I am in office.
But 31 connections at home.!
WHY? could anybody help me?

The longest known Cunningham Chain has k=17.
So far the highest found by primecoin are 9 long in blocks 116, 1592, and 2044.

Made a simple high-res logo in Inkscape based off of the Bitcoin logo and the primecoin-qt icon.

+1, I like where this is heading...or at least how it started.

when does gpu mining come out?
Is this something GPUs are good at? It's fundamentally different from hashcracking
One thing that is nice about this coin is that it's making people think. You can't just auto/instamine, people with huge rigs don't have an advantage, cloud instances aren't that great for it, and ancient laptops are finding just as many blocks as current processors. This is a far cry from almost every other alt-coin release out there, in that people are messing around with different compiling options trying to optimize it. It seems like this is how a new crypto launch *should* be. I'm proud to say I was there from the beginning

Anyone compiled an OS X version yet (or got it running on OS X)?
http://dls.21stcenturymoneytalk.org/dls/primecoin/Primecoin-Qt-osx.zip
Still has bitcoin icons in it though, anyone up to making a primecoin.icns file?

Lol, update from my rigs:
My i5-3570k has found 1 block since launch.
My ancient cheapo Athlon X2 BE-2300 has found 4 blocks. x___x
Need to get this up on my brother's computer :p

After your Primecoins mature, feel free to PM me with offers. Will pay for in BTC. Nothing ridiculous though. I'm not paying 0.01 BTC per XPM. Looking for bulk purchase.
Then you ain't getting a single damned XPM, cause these things are really hard to mine and maturation time is ouch slow. They're worth it.
