As for leadership, I am not up for the job. I'm not a leader, nor do I want to become one.

Lol... You've got to be kidding me...

For 1 BTC, at least I got a laugh out of this scam.

I have to give credit to ReCat. He called it from the beginning.

Sometimes it takes a pessimists eyes to see these things.

Principle demonstrated at its finest.

So, What are the guesses with how long it'll take before the miner will actually mine? Anyone got a guess to throw up there. My guess is 2 more months.

Never unless someone else picks up the project which mtrlt has seemed to indicate he is abandoning,

Yups, also Primecoin's 15minutes of fame seems to be over. Price will never recover.

Good. Dump your XPM to me. Limited time offer: I pay double for the first XPM block that set world record of 10+ length Cunningham Chain of any of the three kinds. If yours is not the first block, send a PM.

Source is now on GitHub. I will not monitor this thread any more. The official dev thread is at ppcointalk: http://www.ppcointalk.org/index.php?topic=508

Awesome! Now we wait for potential developers to pick it up. It's a good idea that you posted the official dev thread as well, since many people are either not aware of primecointalk/ppcointalk, or just have no idea there even is an outlet for dev talk for primecoin.

Yeah, please release something that is able to find blocks and doesn't crash after 5sec-1min.

Hahaha. For ten thousand dollars? You gotta be kidding me. Wink

Hope everyone is enjoying their ten-thousand dollar miner. :3

I am very glad I did not donate.

I wonder how many months after the public release it will take until the GPU miner is actually mining at least a bit faster than the CPU Miner.

I'm guessing never. This project was a complete failure and a borderline scam.

I don't know about that - just need some good coders who love primecoin to take up the project. Hopefully mtrlt will stay involved and provide leadership.

He said borderline. That means not necesarilly but it sure feels like it. Absolutely 0 of the donators got any kind of ROI whatsoever.

True but now the primecoin community has a working, albeit buggy and inefficient, gpu miner with source code to serve as a starting point.

That's something at least, but yeah, the donations part was rather disappointing for now, to say the least.

Without the donations the GPU miners wouldn't have come out so soon I guess. The donation has worked more or less as donations should.

As one of the donators, I feel a bit cheated. I had assumed that at this point, the gpu miner would be at least a working beta, not the mess we have on our hands, which really does not work. Perhaps mtrlt will release another update with various fixes he's got, but until then, we've just got an alpha at best - not even a good proof of concept. Perhaps it's due to the naysayers that he released it so early in development - and perhaps that's why he's keeping quiet as well.

Ideally, I'd love to see someone take up the code and develop it into a working miner - even if it's just GPU-accelerated - any bit that will help the cpu miner at doing its job would be appreciated.

Has the source code been released for anyone else to fix?

Yeah, we all know how donations work, but not many know how much a developer the caliber of mtrlt could make in the time he took to make this miner...pretty sure much more than the btc he got as donations.

It's not great, but it exists, and that's a big feat by itself.
