VPS bills are threat to the coin's market price.
VPS and dedicated server bills are what keeps the price up atm.

Bye bye VPS miners... Hopefully 
Why ? are they a threat to the coin ? They made it go this far...
ps : yes I run vps

You think the potential high returns from a gpu miner isn't ?
I am not interested in this conversation any longer. cya

WOW this thing is great! Hash rate is going up the roof though! But It's great! Thanks bud.
care to expand on this roof ?

Can't wait. 
I'm looking forward to sending the first version to donators this weekend. Let's see how it goes.
Also, thread is now unlocked. I'm sorry I haven't communicated better, I've hit a rough patch in my life, but it'll get better..

Great news about the miner! What day will you be sending out the miner? I assume you'll pm us with the download link.

I have sent 3 pm just asking you to confirm my donation to you
Can u now confirm that I will be getting a copy of the miner

How's the performance?
Congrats on your progress, mtrlt. I hope all the cynicism and dickery doesn't way you down too much.
Take care of yourself.
Cheers.

is the GPU client working?

Same here, don't know if the worst is over. But believe every time we will become stronger. 
"Rough patch" : When the coin is no longer worth mining and he has finished crashing the market.

New update!!
The GPU primality tester works now! Finally.. Testing the first, very much unoptimized version on testnet, a HD6990 seems to be about 2x as fast as a Phenom x6 1055T. On mainnet, there's still the problem of having too few candidates left after sieving, which leads to GPU underutilization.
I'll write a better update in the morning, it's 4 AM..

Good luck,
So, only one or two days should be enough, no?
Yep, but I have plans for the weekend. I'll try to get as much work done as possible before that.So, only one or two days should be enough, no?
You might want to investigate this some more. It is very true that AMD (ATI) cards blow Nvidia cards away when doing SHA-256 or scrypt processing, but primecoin uses a VERY different 'hashing' algo. It is possible that Nvidia may process primes just as well (probably a good topic for a separate thread - any takers?) I'm far from an expert (or even conversant) on either architecture, but until someone investigates it, it's not fair to make such a statement based on a different problem set.
Of course, CUDA still is not cross platform, and any miner worth his salt is using AMD cards already, so that is still a valid reason for discounting CUDA.

As far as I know, Nvidia cards are faster at floating point operations, which are not used in Primecoin mining.
