btw my issue was no primecoin.conf was created.. so it was stuck at 2 blocks.. once I manually created it it started getting blocks for anyone else dealing with this issue
That is.... intriguing. I wonder if it was that, or just restarting the client? What I did.. download original client from primecoin.org, ran the installer, DID NOT run the app when it was, downloaded one from dropbox, copied over the files and ran it.. so maybe its not doing creating the primecoin.conf init if you do it that way. BTW whats the latest release.. Core i7

stuck at 2 blocks synced no matter how many connections i have received block 9657908608eeddce30390a30ac72b3348fd584c1b3cb917922707f9cfc01a488 SetBestChain: new best=9657908608eeddce30390a30ac72b3348fd584c1b3cb917922707f9cfc01a488 height=1 difficulty=7 log2Work=13 log2ChainWork=13.044394 tx=2 date=2013-07-07 18:28:00 progress=0.000000 ProcessBlock: ACCEPTED received block 7edd2add999ca4a7d3c6abbe827a9aa19ea3e0e782e80c299d22599a29ec1f34 SetBestChain: new best=7edd2add999ca4a7d3c6abbe827a9aa19ea3e0e782e80c299d22599a29ec1f34 height=2 difficulty=7 log2Work=13 log2ChainWork=14.022368 tx=3 date=2013-07-07 18:29:58 progress=0.000000 ProcessBlock: ACCEPTED received block b22946daedabb93d4e9e28945278fd3d9f7ec601ce4aba1a25e6e203cf6fa41f ERROR: AcceptBlock() : incorrect proof of work ERROR: ProcessBlock() : AcceptBlock FAILED Misbehaving: 192.241.209.212:9911 (0 -> 100) DISCONNECTING Try using -debug and -printtarget and post the ERROR messages about block #3 being rejected again This gave me a little hint. FYI sunny, the code this was built from is here, it is slightly modified from your latest commit to include some additional suggested optimizations from Mike270. https://github.com/Zalfrin/primecoinThere may be a bug in the way the "phash" variable is replacing "pblock->GetHeaderHash();". Maybe phash needs to be updated within the loop starting on line 4640 of main.cpp I'm also suck at 2 blocks 3 days behind.. any thoughts?

Now do you mine on several machines with one address or ?
|
|
|
Shipping address on the web site does the shipper get notified that I have allowed you to send my chips to them? Example I choose burnin. Will he be notified that wallet address has confirmed and signed with you , what are the next steps talk to him? It's not 100% clear

anyone have a windows or osx build with the latest suggested updates/patches/speed improvements?

Difficult to say, as Sunny King's change brings a huge boost to primes/sec measurement, and since we already know that this is not a real measurement.... I found three blocks in 1,5h whereas I only had 2 blocks in the 24h before that, but since we're talking luck this may well just be a statistical anomaly.
With all mentioned optimizations in place I now see 2013-07-10 19:54:30 primemeter 1229628 prime/h 9519403 test/h 2013-07-10 19:56:30 primemeter 1200380 prime/h 9385149 test/h 2013-07-10 19:58:31 primemeter 1059123 prime/h 8281702 test/h 2013-07-10 20:00:32 primemeter 1132707 prime/h 8806710 test/h

I'm thinking the biggest improvements can be done by a) optimizing the algorithm itself, possible according to TacoTime's post b) minimizing malloc()s and I guess there's still lots of potential. If I had more time I'd try looking into using smaller sieves that fit into CPU cache but doing more sieves (so that the range sieved remains the same)
nice, you building on windows or *nix?

whats a decent per sec rate? I'm seeing on my machine that im also working on.. "primespersec" : 76.. windows 7 64bit.. blah blah blah

The price of 10 chips is $1300? wtf.. marked as 2.7Gh/s.. but with printed 5Gh/s?

Hey, I ordered in the first batch, but only did 10, then the board designs started to come out as 16 and 64, anyone from batch one care to sell me at least 6 chips? pm me please.. I can also buy more if you have extras.. cheers!
You could use Burnin's boards: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179769.0his board design is capable of running on either 10 or 20 chips. FYI: I have no affiliation with Burnin but I do plan to purchase boards from him for myself. Ahhh, yea right thanks I may just do that instead!

Anyone here have pushpool properly working with ltc? If so do you care to share what git depo you used and maybe a small walk though? I have a lot of gpu miners and with diff on btc increasing i want to self mine with ltc..

BKKoins, can You write some manual how to flash that PIC? P.S. Ssory for my English, I am from Ukraine If you've been following the thread you'll know there are several errors on this board that need to be fixed before you can power it. And you'll have to bend the PIC pins under to fit the pads. I really don't have time now to write up a manual for a test board. You won't get good result capture unless you add another NOR gate off board. All reasons why people should not order boards based on prototype design files, as warned. I have a feeling that lots of people are already pressing boards before you even fully get yours working, fixed, or debugged.. oh well.. they have been warned

So 10 or so would cost lets say $1000 USD.. granted the price is a bit low for btc to USD..
that gives you a guesstimated hash of 3500 Mh/s provided it can each one can do 350 Mh/s.
"The expected generation output, at 3.5 Ghps, given current difficulty of 21335329.113983 , is 0.0825016411333 BTC per day and 0.00343756838056 BTC per hour. "
so lets say btc is still at 100.. thats about $8 a day..
$1000 USD / $8 give or take is about 125 days for ROI and thats if it was 125 days of no diff change.
math is pretty simple.

I know everyone is eager to find out, as far as I know no new info has been published about actual dates of some of the first batches, can you guys give us an update on this? I think a lot of DIY projects are coming along quite well and even some boards that will try to push the chips hash rate a bit higher. Anyhow anyone care to shed some light? I'm sure the orders are in with the fab and im sure they tell you when they will be done?

Also you can get good support for bfgminer on irc freenet #eligius , lukes been pretty good at helping out as well

Hi, I thought I would set up a site that provides updated details of the current DIY projects and posts about the updates that are happening. While this form provides great information we all know having to read though 100's of pages for a post to find info your looking for can take up quite a bit of time. Not to mention all the side tracking of info, trolls etc.. anyhow I was looking for a few eager people that would help me weed though this info and post the relevant updates about the projects or other asic related info. I have set up diyasic.com and it has some of the basic info covering 2 projects the burnings and klondike systems. I know a few others our out but im slowly compiling info and weeding though the forms for the relevant info. if interested in helping out send me a pm..
