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.

PrimeCoin [XPM] value falling down... Should I buy this coin right now?

The price change over last week has been <10%, relatively stable for a altcoin. You should buy only if you can justify the purchase to yourself; relying on others for your financial decisions is poor form.

No, there's just not much to say. Primes are flying out of CPUs, that's it.

That's one of the nice things about primecoin: It does not need spectacular talk of how it's going to the moon and all that crap. It's interesting in itself.

It's going well, people proving their computers are doing useful work finding prime numbers, breaking records, getting paid, no drama.

There are some prime number records here if you want to get excited: http://users.cybercity.dk/~dsl522332/math/Cunningham_Chain_records.htm

More buyers would encourage more people to find more cpus to find more prime numbers. It's better than cracking hashes.

Anyone knows what is the correct ECKey.privateKeyPrefix for primecoin (XPM)?

The following bitaddress version produces priv.keys/address pairs for Peercoin (not Primecoin):
http://primecoin.org/bitaddress

Anyway, what I need is to know (or where to look precisely on the source) is the priv. key prefix used for Primecoin (XPM).
For example, for btc is 0x80, for ltc 0xb0, and for xpm = ?

Can someone can show me some direction on how to find this info for xpm (or any other coin) on the source?

Thank you!

I think I have seen a table on bitcoin wiki. Maybe you can ask on his primecointalk.org  because fuzztbear wrote this http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=801.msg15593#msg15593

I figured it out by another method, it's 0x97, but anyway I'll like to know where to look for that on the source code. On that thread they are talking about Peercoin, and I don't want to get registered on another forum...
Thank you anyway for your answer Smiley

No, there's just not much to say. Primes are flying out of CPUs, that's it. It doesn't get any more exciting. Unless a CPU somewhere mines a dragon. Gotta watch those CPU dragons:: very exciting  Grin
that's the most creative thing i've heard on these forums.

OK, to start something to talk about maybe, here http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=2055.0
I posted my calculation to show that Primecoin probably has a limited total supply of ... fasten your seatbelt ... about 25 million, almost the same as BTC.

So keep on digging, new primecoins will run out! "The per block return will be less than 0.1XPM after 30 years. "  After 15 years about 90% of XPMs will have been mined.

Also you can switch to talking about aliens if you read down  Cheesy

Do any browser based miners exist for Primecoin?

I don't think so, but JS based code would be interesting to write for XPM. I'm just too bad at math for this. One could imagine running this in the background on visitors CPU as another source of income for web editors / content providers, with visitors approval of course Wink

This was discussed before, JavaScript is awkward for this purpose since all numbers are 64-bit floating point, there's no integer type. It's not optimal to calculate primes without integers, you would need enormous number of visitors willing to load their machines to get some results.

There is an integer type if you use asm.js.
