Primecoin High Performance Version

This is the high performance version of Sunny King's Primecoin tree.

Features:

  • Use GMP for bignum calculations in the mining threads
  • Replaced some bignum calculations with 64-bit arithmetic inside the sieve
  • Reduced the amount of memory allocations
  • L1 and L2 cache optimizations
  • Process only 10% of base primes when weaving the sieve
  • Configurable sieve size

Donations are welcome if you want to support my work.

Primecoin 0.1.1 BETA

Copyright (c) 2013 Primecoin Developers

Distributed under conditional MIT/X11 software license, see the accompanying file COPYING. This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit. This product includes cryptographic software written by Eric Young (eay@cryptsoft.com), and UPnP software written by Thomas Bernard.

Intro

Primecoin is a free open source cryptocurrency that implements the first scientific computing proof-of-work for cryptocurrencies. The unique proof-of-work design searches for rare prime formations, providing experimental value for mathematicians to further understand the nature and distribution related to prime number, a simple yet mysterious construct of arithmetic that continues to baffle the top minds of mankind.

Upgrade

First backup wallet. Then follow setup instructions. Double check balance after completing setup and starting up client.

Setup

You need the Qt4 run-time libraries to run Primecoin-Qt. On Debian or Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libqtgui4

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/32/primecoin-qt (GUI, 32-bit)
  • bin/32/primecoind (headless, 32-bit)
  • bin/64/primecoin-qt (GUI, 64-bit)
  • bin/64/primecoind (headless, 64-bit)

Bitcoin 0.8.3 BETA

Intro

Bitcoin is a free open source peer-to-peer electronic cash system that is completely decentralized, without the need for a central server or trusted parties. Users hold the crypto keys to their own money and transact directly with each other, with the help of a P2P network to check for double-spending.

Setup

You need the Qt4 run-time libraries to run Bitcoin-Qt. On Debian or Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libqtgui4

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/32/bitcoin-qt (GUI, 32-bit)
  • bin/32/bitcoind (headless, 32-bit)
  • bin/64/bitcoin-qt (GUI, 64-bit)
  • bin/64/bitcoind (headless, 64-bit)

See the documentation at the Bitcoin Wiki for help and more information.
