Title: PrimeCoin Mining
Post by: GBGglenn on December 04, 2013, 05:04:34 PM
Trying out Primecoin mining. Using the debug window and the console and i write "setgenerate true 1". When i write the info it says that i should earn 0.02 chains per day. Have been mining for atleast 6 hours a day 3 days in a row but have'nt gotten anything from it. Am i doing something wrong? Do i have to write the receive adress somewhere? Should'nt get 0.02 but should atleast get something (?)

Thanks in advance!

I am new to primecoin mining but here is what i believe it to be;

Chains are not your coins, it is "chains of prime numbers". Is your cpu good enough for solo mining? with current difficulty I do not think it is.

If I were you I'd look into pool mining. I use rpool - http://rpool.net/ - I also use the miner they have listed at their site.
If you don't know anything about setting up a miner, look around the forum. Search for "primecoin, rpool" and read up :)

+1 for pool mining. Unless you have a major setup, you'll just waste time and get nothing solo mining.

beeeer.org is another XPM pool that works quite well in my opinion.
