But now, I'm back on track. I'll try to post a proper update later today. I'll finally start testing that primality tester on the GPU.
Topic: [XPM] Working on a GPU miner for Primecoin - page 5. (Read 102800 times)
Okay, for the last few days I've had a bit of a real-life problem, the details of which are private. Let's just say that if it wasn't "that bad", I would never have had to pause the development of the miner. This was a break I absolutely needed. Please understand.
But now, I'm back on track. I'll try to post a proper update later today. I'll finally start testing that primality tester on the GPU.

AWESOME ...im getting in on the action for the latest keylogger from our russian friends @

He should be selling it for 0.1 btc no just giving it away

For the last two days, I've had some real-life related stuff take priority, I haven't gotten much work done on the miner. I should have more time in a couple of days.

So he has logged on but not posted anything.
MD
mtrlt has gone a bit quiet, which is mildly troubling for those of us supporting the project. News update would be appreciated.

He's busy throwing Casascius bitcoins at strippers
(I'm sure we'll hear from him soon)

Maybe the beta of the malware for the future Primecoin botnet?
It probably won't GPU mine though... only CPU mine for someone else's profit. If not worse.
come on...

Beware: The 'beta' account was created 3 days ago. Probably malware.
even without the gpu-release;
XPM is in an early enough stage to expect more botnets to join the fun sooner or later

This is something higher difficulty is good for.

It hit a high on cryptsy at 0.009949. Close enough...

Edit : I should have read the convo above more. I see now you were not talking about all-time.
Maybe you should read the thread a bit more.
Now this is pessimistic
I wonder how much the mining market affects the price. I would tend to say (much) higher difficulty leads to higher prices, until a technology shift with difficulty not catching up overfloods the market. But that is only if miners don't trust their coin and dump it, because if it succeeds, the winning strategy is HOLDING the coins and selling some of them later at higher price, when the difficulty has caught up with the technology shift, and reached equilibrium for reasonable profitability. DUMPING at low price during the "flood" is only if you don't trust Primecoin.
tl;dr: only dump your GPU mined coins at low price if you think XPM has no future!
having just seen this thread now;
no wonder XPM is on fire..

We should have a gpu miner speed guessing game with some xpm up for a prize
Guess the miner will be 4x faster when the CPU is supported by a GPU that does the sieves. 
my GPUs are shuddering with excitement.
Someone close to mlrlt said the sieve part is now 50* quicker. (than a core of 1055T )
We don't know about the fermat test but a good news is the High Performance CPU miner by mikaelh use by default 70% of his time to do the sievepart and only 30% for the fermat test. And i use 76%, because i get slighly better result.
So even if the fermat is not as quick than the sievepart, we should still got a very good performance increase because most of the time is use to do the sieve part.

I'm also hearing from a few people that VPS mining will continue to be viable after the anticipated Mlrlt miner. That should skyrocket the difficulty and lower the block reward. Don't quote me on it. All the "50X faster" stuff is embellished or misunderstood. We may see 50X faster improvements in some areas, but as to total miner effectiveness "50X" is way off.
