Title: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: mikaelh on July 19, 2013, 02:50:16 PM Here are some Linux compiling instructions for my high performance version of Primecoin. There are plenty of other guides out there but none of them seem to address all the issues. Now I'm writing my own guide. This should be the definitive guide on how to compile Primecoin on Linux. Commands need to be entered exactly as they appear, so copy and pasting is recommended.
Link to the main high performance thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=255782.0 Another guide written by eCoinomist is available here: http://ecoinomist.com/xpm-primecoin-mining-guide-on-linux Please note that if you are new to Linux, it's best to stick with one guide. Mixing the instructions from different guides may produce errors later. Tested with the following Linux distributions: - Ubuntu 13.04 - CentOS 6.4 Step 1. Installing the required dependencies Using apt-get with latest Ubuntu 13.04: Code: sudo apt-get install -y build-essential m4 libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev The 'sudo' command requires you to type the password for the current user. If you don't have sudo working, you need to manually switch to root with 'su' before running those commands. Warning: If you have installed a specific version such as libdb5.3++-dev before, then don't install the meta-package libdb++-dev which may pull a different version. Alternative for CentOS users: Code: su -c 'yum install gcc-c++ m4 openssl-devel db4-devel boost-devel' Step 2. Compiling GMP Latest version supports all the new CPUs. Code: cd The configure script will attempt to automatically detect the host CPU and enable the best optimizations for it. Step 2b. Compiling OpenSSL (for CentOS and Fedora users) This step is only required if you're using CentOS. Red Hat has removed support for elliptic curve cryptography from the OpenSSL it supplies. Code: cd Step 2c. Compiling miniupnpc (for CentOS users) Code: cd Step 3. Compiling primecoind Code: cd The last line will install the primecoind binary to /usr/local/bin. CentOS users: Use the following 'make' command instead: Code: make -f makefile.my BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX=-mt Step 4. Configuration Create a configuration file: Code: cd You may optinally customize the configuration file. The last line puts a random password in the configuration file automatically, so you don't need to change anything if you're only sending RPC commands from localhost. Type these commands to create an auto-restart script: Code: cd CentOS users may want to remove the 'killall' command from this script because the version that comes with CentOS does not support the --older-than option. And for convenience, create a stopping script: Code: cd Step 5. Starting mining Simply type the following to start mining: Code: ./run-primecoind It will take a while for it to sync up with the network. The script will continue running in the background, automatically restarting primecoind if it crashes. Step 6. Monitoring the progress Checking that the primecoind process is runnning: Code: ps xuf |grep primecoind RPC commands can be sent to the daemon like this: Code: primecoind getprimespersec Any combination of these can be used with the 'watch' command like this: Code: watch 'primecoind getinfo && primecoind listtransactions' Press Ctrl + C to terminate the watch command. You can also look at the output in debug.log: Code: grep primemeter ~/.primecoin/debug.log If you want to see those in real-time, try this: Code: tail -f ~/.primecoin/debug.log |grep primemeter Step 7. Stopping mining Run the stop script: Code: ./stop-primecoind Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: bidji29 on July 19, 2013, 03:08:58 PM Thanks a lot !

Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: mikaelh on July 19, 2013, 03:28:57 PM Updated the guide a bit to add -march=native to CXXFLAGS. If you already used the guide, you only need to do step 3 again to optimize for host CPU.

Always best to compile your own, Once you learn how it empowers you for the future (especially on windows)
I have been using mpir (natively compiled) instead of libgmp on both windows and linux. The PPS is higher than the pre-compiled libgmp (~5%, varies), not sure how it will stack up against the natively compiled libgmp (I would expect similar) Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: mikaelh on July 19, 2013, 06:19:49 PM I managed to compile Primecoin on CentOS 6.4.

Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: dego on July 19, 2013, 08:23:10 PM mikaelh, can you provide the same steps for UBU 12.04 LTS?

Libraries have been installed in: /usr/local/lib If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR' flag during linking and do at least one of the following: - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable during execution - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable during linking - use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf' See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- /bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/include' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 gmp.h '/usr/local/include' /bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/include' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 gmpxx.h '/usr/local/include' make install-data-hook make[4]: Entering directory `/root/gmp-5.1.2' +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | CAUTION: | | | | If you have not already run "make check", then we strongly | | recommend you do so. | | | | GMP has been carefully tested by its authors, but compilers | | are all too often released with serious bugs.

In general there are two common cases for block database errors: 1) Incompatible database format 2) Corrupted database In the second case you can try removing database files from the .primecoin folder.

Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: eCoinomist on July 20, 2013, 08:36:10 AM Anyone having problems with my guide, just reinstall the whole Ubuntu 13.04 OS from fresh start. The guide is designed to work perfectly on fresh install of any Ubuntu 13.04. Even if you get client crash, it will be restarted automatically with cron job every minute, so downtime is really minimal.
If you get error on make file compiling, it's likely due to lack of RAM and you need to run the swap command. If for whatever reason you can't get fresh Ubuntu install, run these before following my guide: Code: cd The screenshots of block finding on my site are from actual DO droplets ($5 and $20 ones - they have never crashed so far for me, been running for nearly a week now, and upgrading from hp2, hp3, hp4 to hp5 without OS resinstall). Note: you must run everything exactly as my guide, if you change OS to something I haven't tested and I'm just a Linux newbie, so can't help much with other compiling problems on CentOS, etc. Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: ivanlabrie on July 20, 2013, 08:47:38 AM Thanks guys...

Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: dudeofthestick on July 21, 2013, 09:46:20 AM Actually my company bundles OpenStack as a product for Hosters and Services Providers. OpenStack Nova supports snapshotting/cloning by default. Sadly, most companies disable this feature as a vendor-locking strategy. We don't.
We have our own cloud for testing, and one of the applications we run to stress test the cloud is... Mining. Obviously we normally connect to a pool of btc or ltc, something it's too early for xpm. What I can tell you is most of the cloud providers don't want to host applications like mining rigs because they put all virtual CPUs at %100 for long periods of time. Since they oversubscribe the CPUs a lot, it means that less intensive apps hosted in the same server will have the performance severely affected. Heavy users are not welcomed in the Clouds. Just like body builders are not welcomed in a gym ;-) Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: maco on July 21, 2013, 11:42:29 AM This is killing me... i can't shut down primecoind, its always running, and has incorrect rpcuser and password.

Trying this now. You are right! I used Chemsist build before this and i had to change those settings to the one you saw with O3 in order to optimize it and get it t work. Yes, I am sure I cannot use swap because the company has restricted my use of it, even though I expanded to larger ram space. I have 512 MB RAM right now. Do I need to use make clean? before configuring? Edit: SOLVED. I upgraded to 1024 MB RAM and got it working just fine. The company doesn't want to give me permission to enable swap so this was an easier fix than I thought. Simply Upgrade, then downgrade if you need to, to save the $2.00 I would just keep it at 1024 MB. It seems more stable now. Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: Entz on July 22, 2013, 03:56:42 AM Glad you got it working.
To answer your question, I almost always delete the primecoin source directory and rebuild from scratch when a major release (i.e. HP4 to HP5) is done to avoid having an old files around. I would only do a make clean if you are changing compiler flags imo. In the case of a "killed" gcc you dont want to recompile more than you have to.

Core2Duo 2.13GHz gets ~600pps on Win7 x64. Interestingly about the same performance per core although the i7 should be a faster. I set the sievesize of the i7 to 4096000 and the C2D to 2048000, not sure if those are good values, in testnet they seemed pretty fine. i7 got no blocks for over a week while the Core2Duo just found one tonight, so it's still got a lot to do with luck.

How to on Centos 5? Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: relm9 on July 23, 2013, 02:32:05 AM For comparison: 7 cores of an i7 930 get ~2100pps on Debianx64. Core2Duo 2.13GHz gets ~600pps on Win7 x64. Interestingly about the same performance per core although the i7 should be a faster. I set the sievesize of the i7 to 4096000 and the C2D to 2048000, not sure if those are good values, in testnet they seemed pretty fine. i7 got no blocks for over a week while the Core2Duo just found one tonight, so it's still got a lot to do with luck. i7 930 doesn't have 7 cores, it has 4 cores plus 4 HT threads.edit: Great, now you replaced your question with nvm and my post is pretty much useless. :P Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: cryptohunter on July 23, 2013, 04:25:03 AM followed all of this but now the dual xeon l5420 is only getting 8 PPS

Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: Tamis on July 24, 2013, 09:40:01 AM One quick question: how do I tell how many coins I've mined?

Trust me, I had a lot of slip and falls, but thanks to the assistance of the community, I got back up.
Plan A) execute swap file commands cd sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16 sudo mkswap /swapfile sudo swapon /swapfile Plan B) Before make file execution, use this command: sed -i 's/O2/O3/g' makefile.unix then try this again -> make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=- Still don't work? Plan C) Get upgraded to 1024 MB of RAM and you are good to go. Only do this step if necessary and Plan A & Plan B has failed. Best of luck!

Hi, just watch 'primecoind getbalance' or 'primecoind listtransactions' or both... I don't know if immature coins are listed though. Hi, When you type in primecoind listtransactions, do you see an address? or do you see a blank [ ] or { } ? If the brackets or braces are blank, no blocks yet. You will see it listed as 'generate' full address info, coin amount (11 xpm estimated currently), and immature or mature depending on when you seen it. Also, if you used this guide, you will see a balance. If you see 0.00000 that means no coins mined. If you see 11.xxx or 10.xxx instead of 0.0000 you got some coins, but double check with primecoind listtransaction. You'll know its there when you see the added text.

Thanks Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: Lollaskates on July 26, 2013, 07:34:26 PM Here is a shell script for CentOS (tested with 6.4 minimal) to automate the install. Currently written for -hp8 and especially useful for spinning up cloud VPS instances with minimal intervention. Copy the following snippet and save it as build-primecoind-centos.sh, and run it. It is assumed you are logged in as root as no sudo commands are used.
Steps to copy the shell script: 1) Open a file for writing Code: vi build-primecoind-centos.sh 2) Press 'i' to enter edit mode, and paste the large snippet below: Code: #!/bin/sh 3) Save and exit Vim by pressing ESC, then typing ':x' (without quotes) and pressing Enter. 4) set the shell script as executable, and run it (as root). Code: chmod +x build-primecoind-centos.sh Once completed, you will simply be able to type primecoind anywhere and run the client.

What instance did you choose and how do we make sure AWS credits are used and instance is not debited on credit card ? Payment options only show my credit card. Edit : I'm testing this instance : High-CPU Reserved Instances - Medium Getting 4400pps with default settings. Now I need to see if it is my credit card that gets debited or my AWS credits. I will probably test the bigger high cpu instance tomorow depending on what gets debited. If any of you already tested the high ones please post performance.

Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: paulthetafy on November 03, 2013, 09:19:55 AM hi guys, everything went well on ubuntu for me but I dont get this Code: test@kitchenpc:~$ ps xuf |grep primecoind looks like its runing right? but where can I see how fast am I hashing? and where are my coins stored? and how can I send them to my online wallet? is there any gui for this? If you want to see a GUI you need to run the primecoin-qt which is similar to the wallet app for most coins. I'm not sure it if is built when you follow the compilation guide, but you can download it. I don't think you can run it at the same time as the primecoind daemon though, it's one or the other. To see how fast you are "hashing" you need to use change to the folder that has the primecoind dameon and type "./primecoind getmininginfo". This will give you some stats including your chainspermin, chainsperday, and primespersec values which indicate how fast it is mining. Your coins are stored in a wallet.dat file in your ~/.primecoin folder. If you use the primecoin-qt GUI then you can see your balance and send coins from there. Otherwise you can again use the daemon and call "./primecoind getbalance" to see your cleared balance, "./primecoind listaccounts" to see your balance including any blocks that have not matured, and then finally "./primecoind sendtoaddress XXXX" to send cleared coins to your "online wallet" wherever that is. The getmininginfo command, along with a heap of others, can also be run from the debug console in the GUI (Help->Debug Window->Console). Type help for a full list of commands.

Did you use any special compiler flags when compiling? Also, it could be an issue in your version of OpenSSL. In the past Redhat has removed support for EC crypto from their version of OpenSSL. Did you compile your own version of OpenSSL, or did you use Fedora's version? Thank you for your reply! Here is some additionnal information: 1) Before compiling, I made no change to makefile.unix. Thus the flags were: Code: -O2 -pthread -Wall -Wextra -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wno-unused-parameter -g -DBOOST_SPIRIT_THREADSAFE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DUSE_UPNP=0 -DUSE_IPV6=1 -DHAVE_BUILD_INFO -fno-stack-protector -fstack-protector-all -Wstack-protector -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 Code: openssl-devel-1.0.1e-30.fc19.x86_64 Code: g++ -I. -I./include -fno-builtin-memcmp -pthread -DOS_LINUX -DLEVELDB_PLATFORM_POSIX -O2 -pthread -Wall -Wextra -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wno-unused-parameter -g -DBOOST_SPIRIT_THREADSAFE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/home/jrostand/primecoin/src -I/home/jrostand/primecoin/src/obj -DUSE_UPNP=0 -DUSE_IPV6=1 -I/home/jrostand/primecoin/src/leveldb/include -I/home/jrostand/primecoin/src/leveldb/helpers -DHAVE_BUILD_INFO -fno-stack-protector -fstack-protector-all -Wstack-protector -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -c db/memtable.cc -o db/memtable.o boost-devel-1.53.0-14.fc19.x86_64 miniupnpc-devel-1.6-9.fc19.x86_64 libdb4-devel-4.8.30-10.fc19.x86_64 libdb-devel-5.3.21-11.fc19.x86_64 libdb-cxx-devel-5.3.21-11.fc19.x86_64 gcc-4.8.2-1.fc19.x86_64 libgcc-4.8.2-1.fc19.x86_64 5) "make -f makefile.unix test" returns a long list of errors (only beginning and end shown here): Code: /bin/sh ../share/genbuild.sh obj/build.h If you need more details, please let me know and thank you again.

Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: mikaelh on December 07, 2013, 11:38:23 PM Ok, it looks like Redhat is indeed shipping a crippled version of OpenSSL in Fedora 19. So you need to compile your own version. Step 2b in my guide shows how to do that.

I have 40 circa 2008 poweredge servers (xeon 2.2 ghz processors) sitting around doing nothing. They have no OS, so I am contemplating buying 40 usb thumb drives and booting linux and mining PrimeCoin with them. Any thoughts? Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: AnhBen on January 15, 2014, 03:29:22 AM How can I send my XPM automatically to an address?
I'm using Spot Instances on AWS and you will never know when it's terminated but if someone can have a little script to send it out to an address. I'm offering a couple of XPM for a few lines of code. Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: Dumbo on January 29, 2014, 01:22:57 AM So if I want to use the primecoind just as a node, and interact with php for payment ...
the .primecoin/primecoin.conf file should just include : server=1 daemon=1 rpcuser=primecoinrpc rpcpassword=SOME_SECURE_PASSWORD right? Title: Re: [XPM] Primecoin High Performance Linux Compilation Guide Post by: nanobtc on January 31, 2014, 05:49:25 PM AnhBen: Try this article. (http://www.primecoiner.com/how-to-combine-multiple-wallets-into-main-wallet/) It's about combining outputs of miners to a common wallet.
DieJohnny: They have no OS? Do they have drives? Seems like it would be easier installing on regular drives if they are unused. Mining these is CPU intensive, don't think it's so I/O intensive, so it would probably work OK on USB. Once you get one configged on USB you could easily clone it with dd if=/dev/completedusbdrive of=/dev/otherusbdrive You'd have to change /etc/hostname of each one so they're not all named the same. Do you have free electricity? If so, you've got nothing to lose.
