[XPM] [ANN] Primecoin Release - First Scientific Computing Cryptocurrency

[blastbob]

What a spread. 

Spread-a-like-a-butter.

Nice to see that nobody wants to sell their coins for any baby values.

I just bought 150XPM for 0.10 LTC so price is going DOWN!!! sell

Hi there,

just started minig 60 mins ago on my Linux box with an AMD Phenom 1090 (6x3.2Ghz). Primepersec is between 15 and 20... isn't that a bit low? What PPS do you get with which CPUs?

See last trades... proof enough

Also got bid on XPM/BTC section. Check it out

I'm trying the optimized code but when I run primecoind it exists after a few seconds with...
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'bignum_error'

Any ideas?

My AMD Phenom II X6 1090T gives like 70~130 pps.  But this baby so far only mined one block...

guys how do I compile under linux?  When I try make makefile.unix I get "No targets specified and no makefile found."

There are a few makefiles. You need to select the correct one with -f.
make -f makefile.unix

Of course you'll need all the required dependences.

Do me, do me...  I get

alert.cpp:6:53: fatal error: boost/algorithm/string/classification.hpp: No such file or directory

...on my windows build, even though I've even tried to add the dirs explicitly...

INCLUDEPATHS= \
 -I"$(CURDIR)" \
 -I"$(CURDIR)"/obj \
 -I"$c:/deps/boost_1_54_0" \
 -I"$c:/deps/boost_1_54_0/boost" \
 -I"$c:/deps/boost_1_54_0/boost/algorithm/string/" \
 -I"$c:/deps/boost_1_54_0/libs" \
 -I"$c:/deps/boost_1_54_0/stage/lib" \
 -I"$c:/deps/db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix" \
 -I"$c:/deps/openssl-1.0.1e/include" \
 -I"$c:/deps"

I'm a complete idiot.  I was editing the .linux makefile.  Just goes to show you what a lack of sleep can do...

Also you shouldn't add the "$" signs for full paths. As an example -I"c:/deps/boost_1_54_0" instead of -I"$c:/deps/boost_1_54_0"

Have a feeling the built-in miner was intentionally left un-optimized ....

[Stonedblues]

Well 3 days of mining and 1 block so I'm out my GF has her pc mining too for 24 hours and no blocks, I think she's also stopping. Good luck to the rest who will keep mining.

[ReCat]

Have a feeling the built-in miner was intentionally left un-optimized ....

It was. Look at it's source. It loops over the hashing of the block header 3 times.

[OnkelPaul]

You might want to try again when someone release an optimized miner. The trick is to run it before everybody else does it :-)

And the fix/optimized change is?

Yep, thanks, I just noticed that as well...    I hate this.  I'm have 15 solid years of financial modeling but I feel like such a noob setting up a simple dev env...  embarrasing...

If you get to a point where you're stuck again, you could try the auto-magical environment setup scripts here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=252931.0

Worked pretty well for me, other than the openssl install issue I mentioned in that thread.

[nmersulypnem]

Windows. Haven't got the foggiest with that OS. I'm in camp Linux.

1. I love your profile image.  It brings me back...

2. Is there an IRC channel for developers?  This thread has a pretty mixed audience...  (PM me if more appropriate).

[bidji29]

I'm searching the part where the code loop 3 time on the blockheader.
Is it when he check for the CUNNINGHAM1 then CUNNINGHAM2 then Bi-twin?

If yes, how to optimize that?



In antoher topic
The market seems to stabilise with 0.2 LTC / XPM for the moment

[paulthetafy]

Is anyone still getting coins?  I seem to have dropped off drastically now.

For those with optimized miners, I do understand why you would want to keep them to yourself, but this is about discovery and the fair launch of a new coin.  Please share your findings here.

[ReCat]

Yes, I just mined a block on the original miner.

Anyways. The optimized miners should be posted for the optimal health of the coin.

[Stonedblues]

I've just been told that someone is mining this with gpu cgminer at 550mh/s he's found 20 blocks lucky fucker.

I've mined 24 blocks with one CPU and the stock miner, and I know some have done better than I have.

[Edit: BTW - what would '550 megahash' mean in the context of this algorithm?  There is no 'hashing' here.]
