Works fine on Linux with me.

Mining with the Linux client does not work. I get 0 primes per second even though my processors are pegged at 100%...
Odd, how long as it been running? I'm getting ~40 on an ancient Xubuntu rig.Several minutes now. It even mines at 0 pps on the testnet. My windows box works just fine though at ~130pps.
Only thing I can think of is your blockchain is bugged and not seen as synced. It's compiled and synced flawlessly on a couple linux boxes now, so I'm not sure what could be wrong on your end.

And primecoind (both the download from sourceforge and the compiled source) are maxing out all my cores at 100%

Man, if PrimeCoin managed to punish for using cloud instances and server-class CPUs, that's an incredible feat, must have obfuscated it quite well! Curious to see how this develops. 
It's necessary though because if not then everyone will eventually switch over to the cloud and the coin dies due to over centralization.

Hm. I appear to be generating; I use setgenerate true.
But nothing appears to be mined after about an hour.
Difficulty already high?
It was high at launch. Not that many total blocks have been found. I have 1 block myself. Just keep it running in the background, you'll find something eventually. But nothing appears to be mined after about an hour.
Difficulty already high?

I've been following Primecoins progress and I'm excited to see where it ends up. It appears to be the answer to the (other cryptocurrencies) pundits issues.
Mining with i7 3.22 @ 104 primespersec (incrementally increasing slowly).

I have 4 PCs, ~150 primes/s each, only 20 XPM after 10 hours.
WTF

I've found two blocks in the past ten hours
I'm curious to see other people's speeds.. this is the fastest I have seen my I7 I'm only @ 4.372

... I'm mining away on my personally owned rack server. ... No scumbag instamine!
ohhh the irony!
July 08, 2013, 12:19:46 AM
running on 3 hosts in a cloud, 1 core each, since launch found nothing..
July 08, 2013, 12:17:36 AM
Strange enough my i5 can't find anything, but my ivy bridge celeron is finding them, two so far.

Sunny, I keep observing periods where the block spacing is ~30seconds instead of ~60seconds, yet the difficulty isn't increasing by a corresponding factor.
Example period where block spacing is ~30seconds:
Code:
block 665 creation time = July 8, 2013, 04:11:39 difficulty = 7.03636408
block 675 creation time = July 8, 2013, 04:17:56 difficulty = 7.03710973
block 675 creation time = July 8, 2013, 04:17:56 difficulty = 7.03710973
It has been a long time since blocks were spaced according to your specification so it would appear the variable difficulty should be set higher.
Difficulty adjustment is designed to be reasonably slow for security reasons. So in the first few days there may be some rush and higher orphan rate. Give it a few days the interests should level out.

It's surely not server class CPU's. I'm mining away on my personally owned rack server. I think they're just detecting big cloud instances. Anyways, It's a great idea. No scumbag instamine!

Sunny, theoretically, won't the primes get bigger as we find more of them, so that it's impossible to maintain a uniform time in between blocks? So that in fact, if the network hash rate remains constant over some period of time, difficulty will adjust lower?
Difficulty is measured by chain length, not by prime sizes. Block spacing is maintained via continuous difficulty adjustment.

I noticed it's going pretty quickly as well. Maybe some big power starting to jump on.

Well whatdayaknow, I got my first mined block just now, hah.
Hey guys, I got notification from the icon saying I got one block. But I couldn't find it in "transaction" or the "unconfirmed" amount.
What is the problem? Orphan?
You could type "listtransactions" in the debug console just to be sure.
Thanks mate. Orphan confirmed. I was so excited just now.....
