why is my pps so low

my 2 cpu < 1 cpu

and geting 4 pps to 20 pps max

You need to optimize the client...

Instructions:

Create 1gb swap:

Code:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

Compile/make/whatever xD the miner:

Code:

apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/primecoin/primecoin.git
apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libdb5.3++-dev -y
cd ~/primecoin/src 
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-
mkdir ~/.primecoin
echo "rpcuser=ARPCUserName
rpcpassword=SomethingReallyLongOK
gen=1" > ~/.primecoin/primecoin.conf
sudo mv primecoind /usr/local/bin/.
primecoind --daemon
watch 'primecoind listtransactions & primecoind getmininginfo'

Replace the rpcuser and password with your own, and run that.

rethaw, thanks man!

Getting 188pps on each of my instances...have two atm.
Is there an easy way to clone them without stopping the mining?

Only 8-15 PPS. I wonder if 2x5$ better than 10$ month VPS?

2x$5 will be better, specially if you manage to optimize your miner.
If I can manage do it I'll post a detailed step by step guide for noobs like me.

nice, now, how to do this on ubuntu console...gotta figure it out on my own :p

You dont have to add a credit card - just enter the promo code - then you get credited the $10. You just cannot add a droplet without paying at least $5 via Paypal or entering credit card data afterwards.

Yeah, that too...I'd rather add my credit card and not use the service anymore unless it works for me.
$5 is cheep anyway

You have to add a credit card to be able to add the promo code $.

Trying it for giggles...let's see if I can edit the config :p

primecoind modified with mustyoshi's changes for linux http://www10.zippyshare.com/v/86926056/file.html
Compiled on debian x64, no idea if it'll run on other systems.
Use at your own risk, no guarantees that this is mining any faster.
Also, learn to compile yourself, it's fun, much more secure and feels like hacking. Cheesy

for windows https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9cvOfoOekSdRDlNbExRTlRGcWc/edit?pli=1

Your version works find on my windows 7 64bit laptop. No idea how efficient it will be though.

Thanks bro!

Is that safe to use?
I guess it is...but better safe than sorry, right? Cheesy

Interesting, yet pps are supposed to mena nothing...or not?

Sunny King you clever bastard, got us all like this: Huh

HAs anyone successfully built on MS Visual Studio?

I gave up with VS 2010 and installed Xubuntu to do my recompiling

I just succeed to compile with mingw. I used this thread for instructions: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0

Thanks for pointing this out. For anyone wanting to compile on windows, here you go. Most complete guide you're going to find. I was having trouble getting boost installed previously. This thread got me pointed in the right direction. Stock (unmodified) primecoind is compiling happily now on Win7 x64.

Thanks man, I'm gonna have to learn some Visual Studio, and how to compile

I have a shitty pentium d man...and I do research all the time, thing is linux is not my thing.
I've learnt countless amounts of stuff from the internet, and am perfectly capable and not a lazy scumbag as you think I am, yet I was at work when I asked that.

Maybe I was being a little unfair to you. But still, it pisses me off when people who have never used a *coind before ask the most basic questions while mining on VPSs. It's often because they're total noobs trying to get more than their fair share, indicating they care nothing for crypto and the community, just getting a little cash and leaving.

Of course man, I'm in the same boat...have you not accused me we would have agreed on that point :p
Funny thing huh?
I'm stashing coins, and mining the ones I support actually, I despise coinchoosers with a passion. I try to sell goods for btc or whatever....don't wanna derail the thread but there're a few things we can do get this going.
I also do my fair share of promotion for cryptos in general at several forums and irl too.

This coin is mind boggling...I'd be surprised if you guys come up with an optimized cuda miner that outperforms radeons Cheesy

(if they can even mine this thing at all further down the road)

rethaw, what's your xpm address?

I'll donate a few xpm once I get some.

Can I get detailed instructions on how to transfer coins from the droplets to my wallet?
Thanks.

There are a few ways, once its matured.

primecoind sendtoaddress yourhomeaddress amount

Before its matured:

from vps:

primecoind listtransactions # to get the receiving address
primecoind dumpprivkey $receiving_address

from home:

primecoind importprivkey $privkey_from_vps

I then remove the wallet.dat from the vps to get all new keys, though its not necessary.

Yeah, thanks for helping people who are too lazy to use Google get all the blocks.

You don't know me moron...OP is doing a great service here, don't let your greed make you troll random folk.

Getting this:

Code:

root@Miner1:~# primecoind listtransactions #
[
]

You're baws man, thanks!

Can I get detailed instructions on how to transfer coins from the droplets to my wallet?
Thanks.

How do you cancel this after your $10 credit is gone?

Also, I get cannot connect to server when checking primespersec or listtransactions...One of the instances won't run the wallet at all, and keep getting cannot execute...blabla.

EDIT: Error: To use the "-daemon" option, you must set a rpcpassword in the configuration file:
/root/.primecoin/primecoin.conf
It is recommended you use the following random password:
rpcuser=primecoinrpc
rpcpassword=CziftzFacpKexhCYVYvvjQWLkUEete9i4gMpVXBNW5Nn
(you do not need to remember this password)
The username and password MUST NOT be the same.
If the file does not exist, create it with owner-readable-only file permissions.
It is also recommended to set alertnotify so you are notified of problems;
for example: alertnotify=echo %s | mail -s "Primecoin Alert" admin@foo.com

That's the output, seems like I couldn't set the conf file properly.

EDIT2: Crap: primecoind listtransactions
Primecoin server starting
error: couldn't connect to server

I copied the stuff in the op line by line, and changed rpc user and password.
Thanks! I'll donate 1 yac to you guys if you want. Cheesy
