whatever happened to primecoin? The price is crashing like pit.

For some reason, I can not get connected to any nodes any more.
I even rebooted

I am not saying that the site is currently safe or not, but just something to keep in mind...
... a lot of programs that are found in the cryptocoin world are flagged by AV companies because the software (code) finds its way into (usually existing - 'plugged in') botnet software. When the victims report the infection or the box is investigated by the AV companies they just flag all the code as malicious and so it can result in false positives.
FWIW I am happy using primecoin HP releases and I have not come across any security concerns thus far.
You should all be taking basic steps to keep your coins safe anyway, like sending the majority of them to a wallet address you know is secured. Software wallet client(s) storing coins should be on boxes or at least VM's that you know are secure to a high degree...

+1
If you Virustotal cGminer, there are a ton of false positives.
AV companies really should do a better job filtering out those false positives; it gives crypto a bad name to unaware people.

They are also flagged to help employers keep employees from running it on company computers.

And with that i have read enough of your retarded bullshit and i am putting you on ignore.
It's bullshit that my AV is blocking the site, I can't acess it and yet I'm supposed to think it's safe?Because fuck logic.
August 25, 2013, 07:01:49 PM
But is the site safe?
Probably not. Not sure what is causing this. Too lazy to analyze.And with that i have read enough of your retarded bullshit and i am putting you on ignore.

Primecoin is blocked because they want to stop old grandmas accidentally downloading it and melting their dust-caked CPU?
August 25, 2013, 08:20:10 AM
Avast blocks the site. Sigh.
Update: I just did, URL:Mal2 infection..

Anyone here still running their P4s? 
Unlikely, they are too inefficient. I suppose maybe if people have free power. I can barely sell anything on eBay which has a P4 in it or the Xeon-equivalent models.

Pool mining is never more profitable than solo, if you speak in general and not for a specific time-frame. There is just less variance.
This is only true when the rewarding scheme is fair and unbiased. And it's probably the reason why JH and/or people from yPool recently changed it, with much less value for 6 chains and much more for 8+ chains.

Even the developer of Prime95 currently does not support GPU. They are the ones who are trying to find prime numbers. Also there is a huge possibility that it will be CUDA and not OpenCl. As of today CUDA is the only supported computing available to look for primes. Hopefully there will be news for this.

Seems like now pooled mine are more profitable then solo =\
