I can't explain the failure you're seeing, but trust me when I say your Intel HD graphics device will be a total dog on primecoin.  When primecoin-reaper hits its stride it might be worth your time, but not yet.


That is OK. New thingies are sort of fun to play with. This same laptop found a block on the day primecoin was released.



The difficulty now is light years away from the difficulty at release.

If your laptop only mined 1 block on day 1, then it'll probably take anywhere from 3-4 weeks for you to find a block (CPU-wise) Tongue
