Title: Best build for Primecoin?
Post by: achillez on July 17, 2013, 10:09:20 PM
Querying folks. What build are you using? I'm using mikaelh2-hp4, icpc build -ofast -march=corei7. 3-4kpps.  Hard to find blocks these days with current difficulty but still slugging along.

What would be funny is if no one responds because everyone is so "ultra secretive" with their builds so they can make more XPM.

I'm running with the mikaelh2-hp4 build. You maybe shooting yourself in the foot by compiling with -ofast option. Even though you may get a higher PPS number with -ofast, there is a good chance that you'll find less blocks due to the loss of accuracy caused by compiling with that optimization.

I'm running executables compiled with "-O2" because I noticed very little difference in PPS between -O2 and -O3, and less optimization also has less chance of introducing errors or loss of accuracy.
