Being new I only have a few coins but I hope to learn quickly.  I have experience in 'other' fields that has attracted me to bitcoin , litecoin and a few others most recently prime coin. I sent this great man 1 ltc as a donation.  I got my first block about an hour after running his build on an i7 3700 using 7 of 8 cores was a great feeling. I have had prime coin running on this machine and another with an i5 for almost 2 days and nothing so I think the build helped. It increased the pps value. Will provide more feedback after a few days. My first ever post after several visits --- i really appreciate all the work a lot of you guys do here. Peace
