Blocks are now in the 17.4 range, just found another on my i7 after adding 4way=1 to my .conf, don't know if it helped or not, could have just been that I restarted the wallet, could be lucky.

what does 4 way mean? From the bitcoin.conf readme: # Use SSE instructions to try to generate bitcoins faster. 4way=1 Now, not sure if it makes a difference or not, because I'm not watching primespersec as that number seems misleading. Could be luck, could help, I was going to try and recompile with -march=corei7-avx, but then though blah and went for it.

I'm using -march=native, I suppose that's probably fine.

Why +USE_UPNP:=1 ? I thought setting this flag to 0 made it embed PNP (hence faster and more distributable to other machines).
Hrm, well my self-compiled primecoind doesn't seem to be working quite right... It's using the CPU cycles, but doesn't seem to have noticed there are new blocks. Current block is in the 8400s.  C:\bitcoin-0.8.3-EasyWinBuilder-v0.1\primecoin\src>primecoind getmininginfo { "blocks" : 8399, "currentblocksize" : 1000, "currentblocktx" : 0, "errors" : "", "generate" : true, "genproclimit" : -1, "primespersec" : 175, "pooledtx" : 0, "testnet" : false Changing USE_UPNP back to ?=- (whatever that means) seems to have fixed this issue.

For Linux users:
Is there any way to get the QT (and miner) running without running X? I would like to restart this thing through ssh.

Just put gen=1 in your .conf file and run the ./primecoind instead of ./primecoin-qt.

Did anyone else get the "QtCore4.dll is missing" when executing the build qt exe? It is also suspiciously small. I found a reference to a similar issue from a bitcoin dev post that the qt linker was confusing /bin/ and /lib/, but those lines are no longer in the .pro file.... so I'm lost. I really hate env issues. I JUST WANT TO MODIFY THE SOURCE.

For OS X miners: Still seems I still have to run discrete instances per core, however, after grabbing the update and *also* changing the makefile.osx to: #CFLAGS = -mmacosx-version-min=10.5 -arch i386 -O3 CFLAGS = -mmacosx-version-min=10.7 -O3 / -arch x86_64 -funroll-loops -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer I'm getting substantially higher 'benchmark' numbers: 2013-07-10 17:31:58 primemeter 118780 prime/h 834911 test/h 2013-07-10 17:33:00 primemeter 145659 prime/h 963936 test/h 2013-07-10 17:34:02 primemeter 134060 prime/h 946472 test/h 2013-07-10 17:35:05 primemeter 233814 prime/h 1670377 test/h 2013-07-10 17:37:06 primemeter 256114 prime/h 1989032 test/h 2013-07-10 17:38:08 primemeter 215987 prime/h 1574243 test/hThat's from a single primecoind instance log. YMMV. -- edit Of course, you can't build for / run 64bit (x86_64) unless your hardware and OS version supports 64bit.

No. Then don't use QT. Use primecoind directly.

This might have already been answered (I thought I saw a reference here or on reddit)
My transaction on DigitialOcean VPS is currently in the category of "orphan". The other transactions (other machines) are all in the category of "immature". Have I lost those coins?
I tried dumping the privkey and importing it back to "home" wallet, but that didn't seem to work.

Bummer. Over ten minutes now running with the new, much faster, primecoind and I *still* haven't found a block.

Google is your friend. Research with keywords: bitcoin orphan

Orphan = no coins. I think someone else got your block at the same time, yours is no longer apart of the main chain and the coins are invalid. Immature = these are valid coins, you just can't spend them yet.

Newly mined coins will be "immature" until 3200 more blocks are mined (takes a day or two). The orphan, sadly, is lost.

An orphan is a block which was solved nearly in the same time as another block with the same position in the blockchain, so the system decides wether you get the orphan or the real next block.
