i'm sure they have some plans for us on their schedule... i'm hoping for a pool for their licensed miners and may be those who purchased licenses might get the priority.. Also we badly need alternatives as ypool is gaining too much hashrate due to claymore's gpu... if you're in a rush you can probably ask for refunds... At the moment ypool sucks big time i think they are being ddosed by botnet operators almost on a daily basis and i'd ditch that pool as soon as there's an alternative... but yeah claymore's gpu keeps improving with each release so in that area i'd ask primegpu to step up since they got the lead in solomining and have a chance to optimize further... I just noticed that the cost of a license is now 25XPM. Is anybody going to be getting any refunds (like me for instance  . I bought a one card license only a few days ago, naturally I've found 0 blocks so far, but a lot of 10-chains, despite having an amazing card... my settings are okay, my machine is stable...)? I don't think it's fair that the cost is not the same for everyone. And it's not fair that no one was informed that prices could go down, I know I would not mind waiting a couple of days to save 10XPM. I thought this miner would become free in 6 months, until then 35XPM a pop. Looks like all those who haven't broken even yet by making a purchase are going to get screwed not only by the rising difficulty, but by the fact that Claymore's miner will soon be faster than primeGPU's, so only two things can be done to make primeGPU's miner competitive... increasing miner performance or lowering license fees. Looks like it's going to be the latter...  They only have one server and just in a month or so barely got ddos protection, but doesn't seem to work. Ypool does have too much of the net hashrate, I'd rather see that beeeeer get more to help balance the network. |

Maxcoin doesn't seem to have anything going on as far as advertisement and/or usage. Maybe in 40 or more years it can be worth that much, but that's a big maybe.

Could undervolting make it slower?
I have normal speeds when scrypt mining unervolted like this, but cant OC as much as alot of others.
Then again, stability for long runs is more inportant than a litle speed increase.
So far for me, better not OC above 1100 core.
Stable with 1075-1100 core, so will not try to go above.
trt goes from 360-420 on the different gpus. 7970/280x.
Seems also cpu could be some botleneck?
Stability over speed is always important. Some times the cpu can be a bottleneck if your running more than one card. |

Thanks for sharing this, now I can go back to linux :-P It means, you can reach 1.05 chains/day on overclocked Radeon 290X. This miner is crap. Earnings are getting smaller because difficulty is rising fast. http://anty.info/primecoin-charts/definitely need more work .. but what is crap is closed source miner with protection that can be bypassed since traffic is not protected... You free not to use it, I dont get people who want everything for free and bitch about it everywhere. I totally dont care about protection on my rig. And it is very rude to come here to promote other miners, which actually gets you less profit. the problem is not a question of having a miner for free, but to have the freedom to mine where we want and the way we want I'm pretty sure you're free to code your own miner, right? Then any and all specifications you have in mind could be met... Yes, as a software developer, I am very sketched about boxed software as opposed to open source. You can't pop the hood and verify that it is only doing what it says it is... (Guess you could sniff out all your network activity?) But the problem is how to compensate the developer for both the time and effort they have invested. Paying it forward didn't really work for reaperprime, did it? Someone made out w like 75 BTC and dropped development. At least w developer fees, with the developers interests tied to yours you will continued to receive updates to the miner... And you can't argue with the results although ypool leaves a bit to be desired... I think the code transparency issue of a non open source solo miner wouldn't sit too well in my head though, one of the reasons I skipped out on primeGPU... If it were me I would not have released the GPU miner until I was well mined up with XPMs over time. To have an edge like a primecoin GPU miner is golden. Get some hardware to mine with and optimize it for that type of GPU and bam....mega profits. Then down the road release it and possibly charge people or just open source it so others can keep the mining momentum going. Maybe there is an miner that is many folds more powerful than the currently release miners out there. But that's just a conspiracy theory and without no solid evidence, only that. The money makers in this crypto world are the people that produce hardware, makers of closed source miners, pools and exchange markets, that's excluding the already wealthy getting more wealthy. |

I do give props that this miner does OC better than the other miner.
I'm fine with the dev fee, just that 10% does make a nice little side of spending cash...lol
I oc'ed to 1200 core/ 1570 mem with TRT at 331~333 with 136k 4ch/h on 20%+ powertune and 60%~75% cpu load. (MSI Twin Frozr III HD7970 OC BE with Artic Accelero Extreme 7970 gpu cooler)
Update: After letting the miner run longer, it settled down to cpu load range of 35%~50%.
Thats some good numbers... I cant go above 1100 core on any cards, i do also have exact same as yours. Could it be due to undervolted bios? If so, the juice will be turned up! Pretty much stock voltage with the powertune. Only time I undervolt is when I was Scrypt or Scrypt-N mining. Claymore's OC better than the other miner I bought for 35 XPM, lucky I got a decent return from that miner. If your ASIC stats are good, then you should be able to OC the card decently on air cooling, I get 61.5% ASIC quality.  I alternate between each miner every 24~48 hours. |

It seems opencl programming can be profitable LOL :-D
I need to hit up my database programming friend and make a partnership to make gpu miners...LOL |

Wowzer, that a good haul of XPM... |

What's lame is keeping miners closed source. Good to see one finally that is open source. |

I upgraded to Win 8.1 from Win 7 Ultimate found out that AMD Driver 14.3 crashes a lot in Win 8.1. So, just a pointer that 14.3 works ok on Win 7 but Win 8/8.1 works best with 13.12.

Only issue I get is that AMD Catalyst sometimes crashes, but the miner keep mining fine. I don't get that with the other XPM miner.
Unstable clock settings or failed bios flash. The other miner isn't pushing your system as hard. It's not crashing the OS and the AMD driver isn't crashing. Probably just a glitch with Catalyst. Bios is fine. |

Q about ypool.
why do i have constantly all the time 30+- unconfirmed xpm's? does it takes longer than mining?
it will stay like this until the last day of my mining? so its like 30 coins are staying in the pool all the time it can stay like this for months.
captain?
Takes 160 blocks to confirm each payment. So, it does take a while. Not 160 Blocks, but 1000 : http://ypool.net/xpm/stats_blocks it's ca. 1 Day of mining. I was wrong, it's rounds. This is from the pool directly: "Note that each block records the shares for the previous 160 rounds. A round is defined as the time between each block." |

I'm getting 1.29 CPD and I get 1.55 CPD on the other miner, performance is getting really close on the 7970/280X gpu cards.
Hope the next update meets or exceed the performance of the other miner for the 7970/280X.

Did it make it on Mintpal? I don't see it anywhere on the voting page anymore.

That's insane...air or water cooled?
Air cooled Dont care for water, tried it in college and became too much of a pain in the ass. Though i do have an extra 80 MM blowing on it from the front, a 120MM blowing on it from the side, 2 PCI Slot coolers top and bottom of the card to pull heat away and a 120 MM above this near the CPU blowing out. Still pretty quite too. How many blocks and 10-ch have you gotten in 24 hours? I'll give a try with those clocks... Water cooling is great with running multiple cards in a close case. Single card, not so much. Cant give you an accurate number. I've had the miner for 4 days now. So far found 5 blocks. Got super lucky one day and found a block in the first 30 mins. I keep stopping it so i can play diablo 3. It's my weakness. Oh ok. Are those clocks even stable for gaming or do you down clock it when you game? |
