i let it run overnight and when i wake up i will see what happened.

still waiting for first block with 4.4GHz i5. I'm getting the sense this isn't worth it, like the copperlark. Maybe I'll be back when GPU mining is enabled and questions over what scientific value this provides have been answered.

an AMD 1090t nothing, but an i3 laptop got one after 2 hours.
July 07, 2013, 04:02:22 PM
1 block in 2 hours lol 
My 2600 found one in about that too!

Holy crap, mining for 2,5 hours on 4-core phenom = 0 coins.
Same man...nothing on my Phenom II 955 x4 and nothing even with all cores for hours.

I think we can safely say this was a fair launch with a high starting difficulty and no insta-mine.
Yes. The way it should be.

got my first block - an AMD CPU did it

I will buy your xpm, if you want to sell shoot me a pm with how much so I can offer you a price in ltc.

@irritant...This proves that the average time to find a block really is almost completely random. It is very much like a lottery, you could find a block in 10 seconds or 10 years. We could calculate the most probable amount of time that it would take you to find a block for given network conditions, but that time could be VERY far off from what you actually get.

This coin is going to be really rough on the 1 CPU owners. No non-client miner so no pools. =/

Same here only FX8120 = 0 coins.

Very dependant on luck it seems. A pool would distribute this luck more evenly/fairly.

@Philogus
Yes I know there is 1 block / minute on the network. I was interested in, if it would be possible to calculate the average time to find a block, with X primespersec, for single miners, not for the complete network

I see. I think that it would constantly change because the total network hashrate is constantly changing. However, we could calculate a formula that would give you your average time to find a block for one instant in time given your current primespersec. The formula would look something like this:
T = K(N/L)
T= the average time (in minutes) to find a block on our computer system for a given instant in time.
K = some constant.
N = the total network hashrate for a given instant in time.
L = your local hashrate for a given instant in time.
As more people mine for longer periods of time, the value of K should become apparent.
I see, so N would be something like the difficulty I guess

It is already built. Just click on primecoin-qt in the primecoin folder.
Ok I see that's what I get for trying to build from the github source... As you explained later, the tar file contains a pre-built binary, so I'll probably switch to that.
With the sources, I managed to build the primecoind and get it running (it's mining, but no luck yet).
I probably need to perform some qmake trickery to build the GUI...

I have 40.78 XPM. How much do you have? DId I just get really lucky here? o_o
Still at 0 XPM
