Title: Is -daemon redundant when using -server? Primecoin Post by: tarchy on January 08, 2014, 10:54:40 PM I've been trialing 20x 3.8XL EC2 instances running Primecoin HP-11 for a total of 4.93 chains per day for around 8 hours now, and no block... :(
SO I did some research and I can't find a definitive answer...I followed the HP Linux Compilation Guide perfectly (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=259022.0) so I am starting my server with the command "./run-primecoind" which executes the following: Code: export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH" And my .CONF being: Code: server=1 SO....this is where i'm confused. I can obviously send RPC commands to the daemon however I can not request a -printtoscreen unless I execute primecoin as "primecoind -daemon -printtoscreen" - and the printtoscreen stats are pretty much what tell me that I am mining. Furthermore, there are 3 orphaned transactions when I type "listtransactions" but yeah like I said, no freshies... so.. do I need to run -daemon to be mining properly? Should I use "primecoind -daemon -printtoscreen" or is ./run-primecoind doing the same thing? Apologies for the structure of this thread, I am verrry tired :| |
