Mining these, does anyone know why there is so much variance in the "hashrate"?
I'm moving between 8 and 54.

Thats the first time someone actually sends a tip.
not true, i have sent many a tip.... and I have received also!

Well that's just lovely. Thank you, kind sir! Sending a small thank you tip to your bitcoin address
That wasn't necessary, but thanks. :pIt's all stuff I had to learn as well, just passing it along.

How does one go about using bitcoind to mine primecoins from the command line?
You don't use bitcoind with primecoin, you use primecoind.With primecoind, start it and it -should- propogate the files you need. If you're on linux, it'll be in ~/.primecoin/
Windows would be %appdata%/primecoin
Make a text file in that folder called primecoin.conf and put in it:
Code:
rpcuser=[choose a username]
rpcpassword=[choose a password]
gen=1
server=1
daemon=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
That should work... rpcpassword=[choose a password]
gen=1
server=1
daemon=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
Definitely meant to write primecoind, durr...
Thanks for the help! I've got the daemon running, any idea if it's possible to check the primespersec value like you can with the GUI client?
> primecoind getprimespersec
> primecoind getmininginfo
etc. Same commands from the gui you can type from the command line daemon.

Just start it up again and it should mine away.

I'm buying primecoins. Name your price and send me a PM.
I'd consider selling but need to wait for 2721 more blocks before I get my first 20 coins. d'oh!
^ goes for me too

A couple of notes as I travel through the source..working on getting a full accurate explorer on CCE.
2 questions I see pop up in this thread:
1. The block size is not the mint value of the block. The block size is used to calculate transaction fees.
Mint value is calculated like this:
2. You cannot compare the difficulty values of Primecoin to any other coins difficulty. The difficulty in Primecoin is completely different. A difficulty of 7 in Primecoin has no correlation with the difficulty in Litecoin.
Both of these are explained in more detail in the whitepaper.

Code:
/ Get mint value from target
// Primecoin mint rate is determined by target
// mint = 999 / (target length ** 2)
// Inflation is controlled via Moore's Law

// mint = 999 / (target length ** 2)

So did anyone get 1000, or is 20.29 the only size anyone has gotten?
Currentblocksize has to do with the number of bytes in the block (it's size), not the number of coins in the block (the reward).

here are my block sizes (note this is on a samsung i7 notebook mining):
How do you have so much so fast? is i7 really that much more efficient?
There is no way that is one i7. Definitely has a couple CPUs mining
my question would be, what is the temps of the cores?
No idea what the core temps are. I just did "setgenerate true 8" for both my laptop and desktop, and they each have 122 XPM, or around 240. I assumed everyone had a similar experience...
It's all good I'm just jealous

What am I doing wrong? I haven't gotten anything and I'm running this on several i7's.
