I just want to make sure that everyone knows about this primecoin mining pool. Right now it has 249 workers, so we would appreciate more. And the math is simple too: more workers, more blocks, more coins

pool site: http://ypool.net

It is your decision to trust it or not (personally I don't know either, i just wanted to let you know guys)

If you have trouble with the set up, read this:
[19:12] xnet: 2nd mouse button click on the jhPrimeminer.exe shortcut on your desktop. Select > Properties.
[19:12] Kujmandosz: yes i am in properties right now
[19:12] xnet: You see a 'Properties window'
[19:12] xnet: good
[19:13] xnet: and add what primecoiner posted in the 'Target' field after "C:\Program Files\jhprimeminer\jhPrimeminer.exe"
[19:13] xnet: so... "C:\Program Files\jhprimeminer\jhPrimeminer.exe" -t <number of cores> -o http://ypool.net:8332 -u <username>.<workername> -p <password>
[19:14] xnet: replacing the <...> with your correct poolinfo ofc
[19:14] xnet: Click on Apply and OK. Now start jhPrimeminer.exe via this shortcut.
[19:15] xnet: you know how many cores your PC has, right ?
[19:15] Kujmandosz: yes i know
[19:15] xnet: coolio
[19:15] primecoiner: thanks for helping out xnet
[19:16] xnet: you don't need to change the shortcut path in "..."
[19:16] Kujmandosz: yes it is working now.
[19:17] xnet: great

Is there a linux miner compatible with pool mining?

not yet, but they are working on it. you should ask them about the release date.

There's major issues going on with either the client and / or pool right now. You can read it in the chat, but I'm getting around 43% rejected shares on my main desktop. I have it set to restart every 15 minutes otherwise it starts reporting 100% rejects, stays at 100% cpu utilization and stops mining, or disconnects due to a getwork error.


Run it in Wine.

Proxy support?

is there  another pool that can be used?

What sort of return do people get on the pool?

I have had an 8 core 2.1GHz Operton (Ubuntu under wine using mumu v4) + occassional i7 3.5GHz quad core (mumu v5) running and got just over 2 XPM for the first 24 hours.

Does this sound about right?

You probably need to get mumus miner from the 'unofficial jhprimeminer' thread.  I had been getting 9+/day, but with this difficulty spike I'll need to reasses.

Bcp19 please post a primecoin-address to show you how much can be mined in 20 minutes ;)

I don't need your coins, I can see 20 minutes easily...  Lot of variance:

I started ypool on Sunday and since then I've found 3 blocks but only have 13XPM  :(

I'm not sure the payout is fair.

Does anyone else have this issue?

yes i am having the same issue there payout is very bad i have found 5 blocks and only have 12 primecions

If you're lucky and find a few block in a row, then payout is always bad in any pool.

All blocks are public btw, including how they are divided and with how much to who. Just goto the stats page.

You've sent the last share in the block and you expect to get whole reward?! Wrong place, solo is your choise! But you can mine solo a month with no block! So, be happy in the pool... :)
