Difficulty is on the rise, somebody has a GPU miner.
could just be hp9 and more people mining

There are projects out there very well developed to do work on primes using GPUs. The question is how easy would it be to port one of those projects into a Primecoin miner, and do the existing projects actually do the same work Primecoin needs. That might be the smary way to go vs trying to port existing miner code to GPU from scratch.
There have been people working in a GPU miner for over 2 weeks. This is not an easy port, it's not a matter of cutting and pasting, a basic understanding of the math involved is also needed. August 04, 2013, 06:44:56 PM

It looks like I am not able to upload images to this board yet, pity. Oh well, I would like to have shared it here I figured the simplest thing to do would be to blog it.
There you'll find a plot of the last nearly two weeks of difficulty...

Very nice work Lyddite !
Bookmarked. It clearly shows the sudden rise I was talking about. I wonder what caused it, difficulty was lower nicely a few days ago then booom...
Thank you Tamis.
More charts in the next few days.

To get this thread back to a warm fuzzy feeling, I will throw out a few small xpm donations, who wants some ?
I hope you like my extra warm n' fuzzy address.

I can't find how to encrypt the wallet on linux. It's easy with the windows client setting - encrypt wallet but there is no such option on the linux client.
Anyone knows how to do that ?

Code:

I have it under Linux. Settings/Encrypt Wallet.
What version are you running?
What version are you running?
I downloaded it from sourceforge : primecoin-0.1.0-linux.tar.gz
This is the recommended client from the OP
I did not compile it, but ran the binary included but I doubt this is the cause of my problem.
I have the same problem with bitcoin-qt, no setting encrypt wallet option :/
You may be looking in the wrong place for the menu. Look for the menu in the title bar of the root window, at the top of your screen, instead of in the small client window.
you were right ! Thanks a lot

I'd love to see a summary post of where the network/blockchain stands at this point in time. I've been following its progress since the first couple days and mining since. As such, is there any stats on how many people are mining, or solo vs. pooled miners? It would be interesting to see some graphs showing the growth of the coin, as time goes on.
Number of people mining can only be estimated. ypool varies between 4000 and 4500 workers (CPUs, IF each CPU is listed as a separate worker) and has been averaging around 25% of the block finds. This gives you a total of 16000-18000 CPUs. This number seems small to me, but there is no easy metric to measure progress by other than block discoveries.Many ppl there have few CPUs and one worker.. so I bet ~2-4x more
