Source is now on GitHub. I will not monitor this thread any more. The official dev thread is at ppcointalk: http://www.ppcointalk.org/index.php?topic=508

Will upload here: https://github.com/mtrlt/Reaper_prime

As for leadership, I am not up for the job. I'm not a leader, nor do I want to become one.

I'll try to have the source on GitHub this weekend.

The issue isn't with jansson, it's with libblkmaker. It seems you have the normal (i.e. non-primecoin) version. You have to download libblkmaker from https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55025350/bitcoin-libblkmaker.zip. It is the libblkmaker prime branch, with a couple of primecoin-specific things added. Those auxdata parameters are important, without them the miner won't work. Smiley

BTW, Maybe it's time to put the code on GitHub... mtrlt?
Yeah, the week is almost up.

I then ran into another weird problem when compiling the kernels

For the record, here's the error:

Code:
Write buffer vPrimes, 6302644 bytes. Status: 0
Compiling kernel... this could take up to 2 minutes.
ptxas error   : Entry function 'CalculateMultipliers' uses too much shared data (0x5078 bytes + 0x10 bytes system, 0x4000 max)

What GPU? It seems it only has 16 kilobytes of local memory, whereas I've programmed the miner with the assumption of 32 kilobytes, which is what ~all AMD GPUs have.

I've made the primality tester 4-5x faster, but I haven't managed to fix the "fractional assert" problem. Should I just release the faster version (many people won't be able to use it) or try to fix the bug first (will take time)?

Please help me compile a file libblkmaker, so that I could use address different than mu1DxMiRUgzjNrVyVeHeRhqDm3XVK12SK2 in my config. I'm not a programmer.
edit base58.c in the libblkmaker dir and add these middle lines:

      case   0:  // Bitcoin pubkey hash
      case  23:  // Primecoin pubkey hash
      case 111:  // Testnet pubkey hash

and

      case   5:  // Bitcoin script hash
      case  83:  // Primecoin script hash
      case 196:  // Testnet script hash

So, look up those bitcoin/testnet lines and add the primecoin one. Then compile Smiley (don't forget autogen.sh)
You can also just redownload the library sources (from https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55025350/bitcoin-libblkmaker.zip). I have updated the source.

It seems like memory corruption, the most annoying kind of bug. Might take some time to fix, I haven't been able to reproduce it on my computer.
This is a serious problem that may not have a fix.  I have a GPU that I still have running on SHA256 because it starts throwing massive errors if I try to use the same intensity on scrypt coins.

I don't think this is a GPU error, but rather an error in the CPU code somewhere.

64 bit Windows Binary Please.

Any shared info on how to fix the appcrash due to integer overflow thingy?

I have observed that only 2 chains in utmost high value are being counter, in what way those 3 chains and above can be obtain?

Thanks


The 32 bit binary works fine on 64-bit Windows.

1/9 seems about right. With use_gpu_fermat_test, it reports the amount of candidates left after doing Fermat tests on the GPU. Without it, it just reports whatever the GPU sieve returned.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [XPM] Working on a GPU miner for Primecoin, new thread :) on: September 04, 2013, 06:44:52 PM
The TOTAL counts aren't comparable between use_gpu_fermat_test true/false, should look at 2-chains. I'll remove the TOTAL count in the next version.

It is hard to get the entire output as once the program froze enough text has gone by that the original details are gone.
Is there anyway to capture the whole output in an easy way?
(I have little knowledge within coding and such, so please be patient Tongue)
//DeaDTerra
Yeah just run it from the command line / terminal like this:
Code:
reaper > output.txt
And it'll write the output to the file output.txt.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [XPM] Working on a GPU miner for Primecoin, new thread :) on: September 04, 2013, 05:20:41 PM
DeaDTerra, could you try with:
Code:
cpu_mining_threads 1
debug true
opencldebug true
and put the entire output to pastebin.com?
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [XPM] Working on a GPU miner for Primecoin, new thread :) on: September 04, 2013, 05:04:44 PM
Somebody, please, make a working 64 bit binary file.
Are you using Linux or Windows?
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [XPM] Working on a GPU miner for Primecoin, new thread :) on: September 04, 2013, 03:35:08 PM
I should have been more specific: I think there's a problem if you compile it yourself on 64-bit Linux. The supplied Windows binary is 32-bit.

Ubuntu 12.04 + x86_64, AMD GPUs -- works for me.  No blocks yet, but it looks busy and the numbers are sane.

DeaDTerra also uses win7 x64


Ok, so the problem isn't there.. I'm mining on win7 x64 just fine.

I can't turn the fermat test off because then it crashes straight on start and I get fraction assserts error.

Same problem. Any suggestions about how can I fix it?

OS? 32-bit or 64-bit? It might be that 64-bit is broken right now.
