I just want to extend a hearty thank you!!! to everyone who has contributed to this project so far. I have had a blast setting up my digitalocean vps through SSH - something I haven't touched in more than a year. I am a *nix newb and this has reminded me of just how much fun it can be. Just finished making my first build with the faster software. It says "blocks 0" on my terminal so I am assuming it just hasn't synchronized with the network yet. Once it has synchronized and I get a steady PPS I will update with my rate. I am on a 1CPU 512MB ($5/mo) instance.Getting anywhere between 98-188 PPS right now. Edit: I am running (1) VPS and (1) here at home using one of the compiled windows -qt from the sieve thread. Win7 64 on an AMD Phenom II X4 920 mobile 1.6GHz, getting 200-416 PPS depending on my usage of the PC. Much improvement over the 30pps I was getting last night, though I have been running for about 6 hours now and haven't found a block yet. Here's hoping my luck improves, and I will send some tips out to the kind folks who have made this possible!  So, is the $160/mo instance profitable right now? Would it find blocks faster than 32 of the $5 instances? It looks like I'm getting the same speed as one of Kimosan's 1CPU / 1GB instances with my 1CPU / 512MB instance, but his other instance of the same size is doing 270-300PPS? What is the difference? I'm really interested in finding the ideal price/performance point on this VPS set up. just a note, before you go trying to make 32 droplets... by default digital ocean sets a limit of 5 droplets per user. you can request more thru a support ticket. I personally think you'd be better off with 32 separate instances than a single 32 core instance , simply because digital ocean's costs dont go up linearly with cores ( since they give you more memory and bandwidth too, which goes into the price) |

wallet location is: ~/.primecoin/wallet.dat
In the same hidden directory you will find (or you can create it) primecoin.conf if you need it.
If you don't want all your droplets to mine with the same address you don't need to recompile anything, on the contrary after the recompile they would still mine with the old addresses from the previously created and unchanged wallet.dat. If you want not to mix found blocks from droplets, it is enough to delete wallet.dat on each droplet, restart the primecoind on each droplet, wallet.dat will be automatically recreated with new addresses, and they will now have found blocks of its own.
good point . thanks! |

So I made a snapshot of my orig droplet and spun up a couple new ones from that snapshot and noticed something interesting.
One of them mined a block ( yay! ) but it is showing up in each of the clone droplets. my guess is it's happening because they're all using a cloned wallet aka priv key .
I imagine that is not a big deal ... but my worry is that they may be doing redundant work, and trying to solve for identical things since theyre clones and not unique instances.
Crossing my fingers that since they all read off the blockchain, that they'd be trying to solve for different blocks from each other.
Either way, I'll probably just end up destroying them and compiling primecoin on each one, just to be safe.

stuck at apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libdb5.3++-dev -y gives E: Unable to locate package libdb5.3++-dev
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libdb5.3++-dev'
help! lol apt-get update I have the same problem here even after trying apt-get update Any help please? on that line, delete back to libdb5. and then hit tab and see what version gets auto filled in. for some reason i didnt have 5.3 either but 5.1 was avail so i installed libdb5.1++-dev , and it built just fine. |

Okay, can we get instruction on how to extract coin from our DigitalOcean droplet. It has been so long since I have had to do console/coding like this  . Sure. I do it this way: - ssh into remote instance
- ./primecoind listtransactions –> copy the address mentioned in the output at "address"
- ./primecoind dumpprivkey {{paste copied address here}} –> copy the private key returned
- on your local computer holding the "master wallet" -> ./primecoind importprivkey {{paste copied private key here}}
- now address holding the minted coins appears in your local wallet
No need to send coins over the blockchain this way, immature coins can be imported immediately. It may help //How can I get the address before found a block? primecoind getaccountaddress [yourusername] |

fyi you dont need to create a new droplet to build the code. you can actually just temporarily resize your single droplet, build, and then downsize again.
edit : this way you don't need to move the primecoind file from one droplet to another
update : im getting ~120 on 1core /512mb ... about 3x from before the update

so i have been mining all day on a digital ocean instance and two other computers and have not gotten a thing . from your guy's experience so far, does this sound right or am I probably doing something wrong ?

why are people trying to ditch shares sub ipo righ now ? i dont know why people would do that unless its the dot com crash in the 90s
This is normal. In general, if the difficulty goes up, the dividends will be lower and the shares will be worth less. The price is falling because the difficulty is rising. it is true the shares will be worth less as dividends are reduced over time. but dividends have been the same all week, so i dont think it applies to the recent dip. |

Anyone know how long it takes to transfer funds from bank (via Dwolla) into MTGOX account? I started on 4/22 - the money is gone from my bank and nothing is in my MTGOX ACCOUNT!
It can take Dwolla 2-5 days to get the money from your bank and cleared, then the transfer from Dwolla to Mtgox can take like 5 hrs to clear. The money is already gone from my account. Dwolla already cleared it, why is there no money in my MTGOX account? it takes like 5 hrs for mtgox to clear it from dwolla. so its gone, out of dwolla, kind of in limbo until mtgox decides that its legit and you can use it. only then it appears in your account, but it was gone out of dwolla long before then. |

lets get this thing thru before the next zephir batch !  |

They dont use codes anymore
darn. i had a feeling that functionality was gone. |
|

|

I am trying to create a mtgox redeemable code with my funds in the exchange however it is not clear to me how to do this. I see the place to redeem an already existing code, but can not figure out how to create one. Could someone here explain to me how to generate one of these codes?
