hey people im using a 4770k to mine. i get only 0.6val/h pps 23k to 24k. is it very low?
what is a good config for it? like -m -m2 -m3 -m4. thanks!

I am interested in XPM
want to buy some xpm.
I've got 19.5 XPM left over in my primecoin wallet, willing to sell at 3 mBTC each (so that's 0.0585 BTC total). PM me if interested. I'd take LTC or XRP, too (need to look up exchange rate in that case).
My computer just is not usable for mining, and I'd rather see this in circulation than gathering digital dust on my hard disk.

Poolerino.com is still interested in opening a pool for XPM, 0% fee as usual.
Any news about source for pools ? Or maybe stratums ?
Thank you, Mike

Too hard to mining

Just to let you know mcxNow resumed Primecoin trading 
Old memories come to my mind

Where is the link to the maths website with the world records for the varieties of primes? Heaps of them are from primecoin. The link is in the two primecoin mega threads somewhere for sure.

Fantastic answer. Ty Paul.

How far away(time wise), if this hasn't already been happening, is prime coin from discovering previously unfound primes?
It's basically happening all the time (similarly with every software that's generating large primes, such as many encryption programs). Primes are not really sparse, so when you find a (large) prime, the probability that no one found it before you it is pretty high, and finding previously unfound primes is neither interesting nor hard. There are special kinds of primes (for example Mersenne primes) whose properties make it possible to prove their primality for much bigger values than is possible for randomly picked numbers, so the absolutely biggest prime numbers are typically of these kinds, but primecoin does not search for such primes.
What primecoin does is searching for special patterns (cunningham chains) of primes which are much rarer, so the task is usable as a proof-of-work mechanism. It is not yet clear whether the results will have practical uses outside of their primary use of protecting the primecoin blockchain, but it is conceivable that when research around some theorem around primes and cunningham chains needs many relatively long chains, the data will be welcome by researchers.

can you help me.
say pls start.bat file for this miner primecoin-0.1.2-hp11-winx64
and this pool http://ypool.net/

I need some nodes because my wallet can not be updated. Please and thank you very much guys.

Is there any 0% fee pool?

Hey Trillium. I'm considering CPU Mining on a few Core 2 Duo computers. is the diff low enough to reap any noticeable profits on them? Cheers.
Hey Cat, I've recently done (and re-done) a lot of calculations on CPU mining profitability and in my situation determined that it's now only profitable to mine on two of my most energy efficient CPU's. Even then its not much money. Its enough to cover the electricity costs of the base system while my graphics cards are pumping out scrypt coins.
I've ceased CPU mining on not only core 2 duo's but also core 2 quads that do not support AESNI / AVX kind of accelerated instruction sets which are highly beneficial to some CPU coins.

PPS vary wildly based on the miner used. jhPrimeminer can claim 22K PPS while xolominer (or the HP wallet miner) will report 4K PPS . Not because any one of them is significantly faster than the other, they just have two different ways for determing what a Prime-Per-Second is.

I just started mining XPM & I'm getting about 700-800 PPS on 1 PC... can anyone confirm what weekly payout I'd be looking at receiving? (I'm using the BEEEEER pool)
WTF are you mining with, a calculator watch?
The phenom I mentioned above will do aroun 13k on 3 cores, and 17k on 4 cores.

what is your PPS? My slowest CPU is a 4 core phenom ii @ 2.8 ghz. It takes about 3 days to get one coin in that CPU.
