[XPM] [ANN] Primecoin Release - First Scientific Computing Cryptocurrency

Primecoin Core Thread: https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=2721090

Care to explain what happened there?

The whole reboot idea was good, why did you kill and lock your own thread?

I hope it has nothing to do with the likes of 'German Klimenko' babbling utter nonsense...

Personal reasons and due to complications

[DatacoinMiner]

Datacoin, an old Primecoin fork, is alive and well

Just a reminder Primecoin miners and developers.
Datacoin is a Primecoin fork and lives on.
We need your brains and GPU power!

Datacoin to be listed on Next fiat exchange:  https://next.exchange.

There is a lot of development around Datacoin and that is why we really want to engage with the parent cryptocurrency (Primecoin).

Yes, primecoin client based on current bitcoin code is a good idea, I will finish it.

Wow.  That has huge implications for Datacoin:  https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=2188160.0

Cloned Primecoin Core 0.16 from Github and compiled with autogen, configure, make etc.
Used bootstrap and sync is stuck at 3 years and 6 days.  addnode returned null. 

Anybody else experienced this?

You can "bootstrap" from old primecoin client data directory.

addnode 89.179.119.195 onetry
addnode 194.87.96.132 onetry

For use with testnet only first (89.179.119.195) now working.

This client can synchronize from same clients or intermediary nodes https://github.com/primecoin-ng/primecoin-intermediary. Intermediary node can interact with any type of client.
Old client can synchronize from any type of node, but can't be source for new primecoin-core.
First step is replacing old client with intermediary nodes, later I will make release for Win/Linux/Mac and bootstrap.dat.

Thank you very much.

Seeing Datacoin & Primecoin working together brings joy to my cryptoheart

Does Primecoin have an active development team right now or is there something in the making?

Is sunny King still associated with the project?

I really respect primecoin, and it pains me to see a ton of sh*tcoins and sh*tTokens getting publicity and market interest when a real gem like XPM is left in the dark.

Sunny King was last active on peercoin.net on January 24 2018.  He is busy with another project called VEE. 

He has said that his care for the Peercoin and Primecoin projects has not stopped and that he supported the work of the Peercoin team.
He did not mention Primecoin.   https://talk.peercoin.net/t/ann-sunny-joins-project-vee/7346

But Primecoin Core is being developed by eXtremal, so the coin continues.  The community should rally around him (her?).

Now https://github.com/primecoin-ng-group/primecoin-core can be used for sending transactions in Primecoin mainnet. After a couple of commits I'll create binary releases, bootstrap.dat file and separate topic for primecoin-core.

what still needs to be tested? Can you mine with the new version?

[sumithcrtp]

Have put my 2 Core i5's on standby.

you'd better ask in the exchanges trollboxes 

check https://github.com/primecoin/primecoin - the last commits are dated back to 2014, last Bitcointalk posts of the dev - 2016
so I would not expect to hear anything from him any time soon
