Hi,
Noticing that the official topic of primecoin contains out-of-date info I have a little question:
Since I cant enter http://primecoin.org (avast alert) I wanted to ask some forum pros which link to download primecoin client is safe? Is it this? https://sourceforge.net/projects/primecoin/files/? I just want to make sure.
Thanks in advance

You could try: https://github.com/primecoin/primecoin/wiki

Great!  Grin This time it went without problems and I installed as root as you suggested.
As you said it only shows the first worker. Would be nice if you could show all in the graph.

I also agree that itzod pool seems undervalued for what it offers and we need to get some higher participation to keep variance in check.
One thing is the site itself doesn't offer much in the way of pretty user graphs, etc.  but it does have good api support.  

I use my own webapp to monitor worker/pool performance.  I've posted it to github in the off chance anyone else will find it useful, if not, no harm done.

Web layout/js heavily 'borrowed' from p2pool as that is my other pool of choice.

If there is any interest I'll put a bit more effort in cleaning it up and package it properly, etc.
I would like to test it. Tried to dowload package from GIT and install but I get the following errors:

$ pip install itzodmon

Re: GPU brute forcing an encrypted wallet

I'm having trouble isolating the functions I need out of the bitcoin client.

So what I understand is that there is a built in 100ms delay. If I extract out the piece to unlock it and bypass the rpc I can avoid that or is that because of the algorithm used to encrypt it?

I'm also in the same spot as you and trying to run ruby scripts with bitcoind at about 25 passwords/second.

Where did you find the info about the 100ms delay?

I think I saw some timing when the keys are generated so that the decrypt will not be too slow. This timing sets the nDeriveIterations  value for the master key.

@yourstruly, you were right. When wallet is encrypted and every time the password is changed the decryption time is calculated
to about 100 ms and set in nDeriveIterations for the master key.
To effectively crack a strong password you would have to run the crack program on a computer with multi cpu or with a much
faster cpu than was used to encrypt the wallet.
I think multi cpu/gpu is the way to go.

 CPU mining is dead and is too slow. GPU mining and FPGA are starting to get too slow now with the increasing difficulty.
The only thing that nowadays is worth mining with are ASICs, but they are very difficult to get hold of.
