Re: [XPM] Primecoin Record Books

You tested the centers, you need to test the chain results. In Sunny's paper it describes how to get them, or here:

You are quite right. However, the first probable prime still fails.
The positive result is:

Code:

does this mean it's not actually generating valid primes?

As I understand the primecoin paper, it accepts pseudoprimes for making a block.. as a true check of primality would take too long for nodes to verify.
