How come a prime chain origin be divisible by any number (except 1 and itself) since it's a prime number ?
What did I get wrong ?

The origin is defined as the number next to the first prime in the chain (either -1 or +1 depending on chain type). In the case Primecoin, the primes are always odd, which means that the origin is even and thus is not a prime.
