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

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)

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)
