Buy Bytecoin BCN Miner Uk. Clusters of Primes A cluster of prime numbers is a sequence with an unusually large number of prime numbers in it. For example, the numbers 1297, 1301, 1303, and 1307 are all prime, and they're as close together as four prime numbers can be. Nexus finds similar clusters to these as a byproduct of its Prime mining channel.

But with big numbers. Very big numbers.

CPU Mining New CPU Miner Guide New CPU Miner. The more NXS you will earn. (There is more to it. Nexus Slack Community. I understand NXS is more of a long term hold right now. Question about nexus CPU mining. Is mining NXS profitable?

A technical note: When we refer to prime numbers, we haven't verified that they are prime. So these are more properly termed potential primes. They pass the Fermat test at base 2, and that's all we know. The First 1000 Blocks In its first day, the clusters Nexus found were small.

The difficulty was only 4. But despite that, the miners found eight clusters with 5 elements in them. Of those, the most dense was in block 642, which had primes at p, p+6, p+14, p+18, and p+24. The prime in question, p, was: 714498172643. That's a mouthful. Gulden NLG Wyoming there. The longest clusters found by Nexus As time went on, and the popularity of Nexus increased, the difficulty rose.

The difficulty specifies the mininum number of primes needed for a successful proof-of-work. These are the 10 largest prime clusters found thus far by Nexus, with ties broken by density (most primes in the shortest distance).

And, hopefully, this is just the beginning.

I was hoping someone can provide some answers regarding my Nexus-qt wallet. I am a fairly new crypto investor and not very pc saavy. I recently downloaded the Nexus wallet onto my laptop. Everything has gone smoothly so far. I've made three transfers from an exchange with no issues whatsoever. I backed up my wallet and encrypted (created password).

After my last transaction, I performed a back up onto a USB flash drive and didn't reopen my Nexus wallet for a few days. When I went to click the Nexus-qt icon to open my wallet yesterday, I received this pop up display, 'Problem with shortcut - The item 'nexus-qt.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.

Do you want to delete this shortcut?' I clicked No. I went on You-tube to see if there was an instructional video to help locate the nexus-qt.exe file so I can launch wallet. I've used the search function and found the Nexus folder with what appears to be all the files except the nexus-qt.exe file.

I located the wallet.dat file and I'm really not sure what to do now. Do I need to redownload the Nexus wallet from the website and download the blockchain all over again? That took forever. Did I somehow get hacked?

I have anit-virus and malware installed. Basically, I want to know if I'm screwed, lol. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it greatly.

Also, does anyone know of any good tutorials or online classes that teach and demonstrate the basics of software wallets? Thanks in advance! Sounds like you set up everything perfectly. All the guides for the Nexus wallet surround setting it up, and you've already done that.

If the shortcut isn't working, that would indicate the wallet executable was either moved or removed. Did you do that? Quick primer: wallet has two parts -- the nexus-qt.exe executable and the data folder.

You can put the executable (the actual wallet program) wherever you want. As such, I can't tell you where to find it, because it is wherever you put it. The first time you start the program, it creates the Nexus folder, which contains your data including the blockchain database and wallet.dat file. That is the folder you found, located here:%APPDATA% Nexus -- typically C: Users (your user name) AppData Roaming Nexus Now, if you did not move or remove the nexus-qt.exe after you created the shortcut, it is possible that you have anti-virus or anti-malware on your program that flagged it as a threat and put it into quarantine. This happens with a lot of mining and wallet software.

So, check in that if you believe this might be the case and see the discussion on this topic here: If you did move the program after creating the shortcut, then you just have to create a new shortcut. Finally, while you're at this you may want to upgrade to the latest 0.2.3.4 wallet (just released today). All you need to do is download the new executable.

It will run with your existing blockchain database and wallet.dat so all you need to do is start it up, though I always advise copying your wallet.dat file (ie, make a backup) first just in case. Hope that helps. Quick question. What's the best way to protect your wallet in general. I understand backing up.dat file allows you to restore your wallet when you load the nexus-qt file up elsewhere, but what if someone gains access to your computer via a virus/Trojan.

Can't they just take the wallet.dat file and load it onto their own computer? Is there any way to protect yourself in case this happens, or some sort of method to create a wallet and obtain keys for mining/trading without exposing it to the internet? • • • • • • •. Under Settings you will see the option to encrypt your wallet file. You will be asked to enter a passphrase, which will allow you to access it.

Do NOT under any circumstances forget your passphrase, or you will not be able to access your balance (it has happened). I'd advise writing it down and storing the hard copy somewhere safe and secure, just in case. If something were to happen to you, be sure whoever you trust to have access to your Nexus knows where that is. Also, create a new backup of the encrypted.dat file (so your backup is encrypted also).

Be sure to put a copy on a USB stick or some other offline storage (two is even better). This protects against a hard drive crash. You might lose both the original and the backup if the disk is irretrievable (that has happened, too -- famously for some early Bitcoin adopters). In general, you can't have too many backups.:) • • • • • • •.
