No block for 2 days on Xeon e5 3,7 Ghz, decided to go ypool...

Btw while hp7 shows around 3800 primes/s, the ypool miner shows 8000 primes/s. Maybe I should not compare, dunno.

YPool is interesting in that they are finding 5% of the blocks which appears consistent with their stats page ~3/hour

If we could estimate the total number of miner nodes in the primecoin network then we could establish whether the 3000 workers are more or less 5% of the total network.

I suspect that the ypool miner performance is worse, but the aggregated effect of the pool is helping to avoid orphan blocks.
