Re: [XPM] [ANN] Primecoin Prerelease Announcement - Introducing Prime Proof-of-Work

Where is the scientific use of prime number chains?

The discover of new prime numbers as I understand.

In the white paper it describes only using prime numbers which can be easily verified, so that rules out actively searching for large prime numbers, doesn't it?

Dude, verifying a number is prime is easy.

Well, I guess the white paper is pretty vague on the limits.
So we'll see what the actual limits are in a couple of hours.
When I discovered this coin last night, I had hoped it would be finding all prime numbers so that eventually bitcoin could be attacked using the prime numbers found by this coin.

Which would be poetic, imho.

poetic, made me laugh Grin
