I was wondering if a clone of primecoin will have any scientific value? Is primecoin eventually will find ALL the primes or only some? So it make a primecoin clone valueless? Am I missing something? Thanks.

If all the mankind turn every computer that has ever being built, and ever will be built, to running prmecoin finding primes, and do that till the end of mankind, all primes that would be found would be drop in the ocean, while the rest of the ocean are non-found primes. And even this is overly optimistic, that drop should be divided infinite number of times and only one tiny-tiny part of that drop would be found primes.
