A coin can either be used to profit by increasing the use/value of the coin, or it can be pumped with the goal of dumping coins on new people who get pulled in.

Primecoin is pretty near an all time low which means almost everybody who ever bought it is down except the pumpers who dumped at peaks.

Was the conversation on discord about anything other than pumping?

People who are interested in looking for primes might consider xpm inefficient. If the goal is really to find primes it would be a better use of resources to use an algorithm not connected to a coin.

Primecoin could be made useful by changing it to a human mining coin that incentivized people to look for new ways to find primes.

I'm happy with pumping it. I bought around $100 worth to dump once it goes up. Pump away
