What build? link?

Any updated windows builds ?

How do you go about figuring out if its a new record? Is there a list that someone compares against known primes?

Had any chance this weekend to work on an API?

git clone -b prime

?

That would be great.

Btw I just relaying the info from most of the people who worked on it no credit here outside of sharing

So some of us on #eligius-prime with the help of Luke were able to get what we think is bfgminer prime working, how ever the people testing it so far none of us have found a block so a word of caution.

I thought in the spirit of sharing I would let you guys know how I was able to get up and runnning, NOTE you do need to know how to compile BFGMiner, I cannot help you with any compile issues ..

Requirements:
primecoind running

Then

Get the latest code from git..

git clone -b prime https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer.git

make this change >> http://pastebin.com/XSTTRNF9 << src/libblkmaker/base58.c around line 120

This allows you to use your primecoin wallet address instead of having to convert that to a btc wallet address.

Once compiled and primecoind is set up and running.. use this command line in bfgminer..

./bfgminer -a prime -S noauto -S cpu:auto -o localhost:9912 -u primecoinrpc -p {rpcpassword} --coinbase-addr {primecoin wallet addr} --debuglog 2>prime.log

you dont need the debug at the end but gives you an idea of data coming though..

THIS is WIP, I would ask anyone to help optmized, fix, or make adjustments..

cheers..

here is my miner running.. no block found yet tho.. we did test it on testnet and it did fine blocks fyi..

sorry not a coder per say, was on the irc channel getting stuff compile and tested on an amazon instance.. takes a bit of work, and you need to convert a primecoin address to btc add.. etc..

some of us on #eligius-prime were able with lukes help and others to get it running.. now im just waiting to see if i can actually get a block..

Not yet i started it just a few ago.. but on my home and work machines I have not got a block since yesterday, has anyone gotten one today? did something change?

Ok i have this code running on ubuntu ami from amazon. using c1.extralarge.. or what ever its called..

https://github.com/Chemisist/primecoin

Im getting about 1600pps out of this box.. and it costs are about .50 an hour.. just a fyi to all..

btw some of us are hanging out on #eligius-prime to work though some bfg stuff if you want to join, trolls need not apply

Silly question, but where do i find the latest patched/optimized branch that I can build on ubuntu ?

Not sure if this has been asked, but any way to get the prime numbers out of the client or a way to grep them from the logs?  .. also is their a way to reference them to already existing found ones more in the math community side of things?

Ya so it looks like first we need to get the primecoin API working before any minging software can use it efficiently ..

Thanks now let's get back to business!

Guys wtf, stay on topic I see so many good potential threads started to only get hijacked.  This was about looking into bfgminer branch to see if developers wanted to work on improving it for mining prime coins .. Stop the nonsense ...

sorry i have dyslexia

well its a start luke started on it last night and is pulling in some decent pps, join us on irc freenode #eligius if you want to help, add patches etc.. but yea first

btw just talked to Luke-Jr, he started a bfgminer branch for prime if anyone wants to work on that or compile versions..
