Excited to know that Primecoin will continue in development from now and beyond. It's been quite some time since the original developer had abandoned the cryptocurrency, focusing on Peercoin instead. Maybe with the new dev, Primecoin could reach a greater potential of becoming one of the leading cryptocurrencies in the market. I'm thinking that by integrating SegWit and the Lightning Network based on Bitcoin's latest codebase, Primecoin could perform better than ever. And maybe, it could improve its mining algorithm to a more robust one for finding prime numbers.
IMO, this is one of the most unique cryptocurrencies out there, simply because it has a unique approach to mining unlike most PoW coins in existence to date. I'm hoping that at least a CPU miner would appear for this coin, because last time I've checked, it wasn't available anymore (with the only option of choosing a GPU miner). Allowing Primecoin to also be mined with a CPU by releasing the miner, could greater expand the reach to average people who don't have dedicated GPUs for mining. As far as I know, Nexus is also minable with prime numbers and a CPU can be used to mine it. Perhaps, XPM could do the same in the future.
Nevertheless, if all goes well with the development, XPM could easily hit $1+ within the next months.
