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

[shinkicker]

I'm starting to worry that I've minted my last block...

I have only ever got one block and it stilled marked as immature 14 hours later after mining.

Welcome to our world...

Anyone know the Primecoin prefix so we can use vanitygen? I don't know where to look for it in the source.

23

Thanks. Could you tell me where to find it in the source?

Code:

PUBKEY_ADDRESS = 23,  // primecoin: pubkey address starts with 'A'
SCRIPT_ADDRESS = 83,  // primecoin: script address starts with 'a'

Lines 275,276 in src/base58.h

Is anyone else getting an internal compile error on the new main.cpp?

Did you mean the compiler itself generated an internal error on you?

I remember the days when I used to use Visual Studio. 

On Ubuntu 13 on DigitalOcean, I get

g++: internal compile error: Killed (program cc1plus)
Please submit a full bug report

...I'm not sure I have the env setup right (I was just using the binaries before).  Is there a list of dependencies?  I was using a much older bitcoin instruction set before.

You need to create a swap file, since the VPS on Digital Ocean doesn't have enough room for to run the Make

Run these commands then execute the try the make command afterwards:

Code:

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

If you want more details on how to setup the VPS with the new source code, check out my reddit post: http://www.reddit.com/r/primecoin/comments/1i0sa9/primecoin_builtin_miner_performance_enhancement/cb0aj1h

I think it would be nice if there were a way to test "in real time" how is working our miner (or even if the miner is working  ) like cgminer or cudaminer and so on.... (qt display is so ugly...)

So... I launch this idea and it would be great if one (two or three or 10¹⁶ Dev) could make something related to this

www.mcxNOW.com adding Primecoin as I type this.  Just waiting for it to come back online so I can post the direct link.

Aaaaand, here you go:

Where are the fees and comission rates listed?

Seems fine, what's getmininginfo say?

What do you mean when you say 'doing ok'?

If your referring to setting up the daemon, then yes your doing fine.
If your referring to mining lots of coins, then no.

It says this:

{
    "blocks" : 12176,
    "currentblocksize" : 1000,
    "currentblocktx" : 0,
    "errors" : "",
    "generate" : true,
    "genproclimit" : -1,
    "primespersec" : 198,
    "pooledtx" : 0,
    "testnet" : false
}

So what is my hashrate? It's quite different than other mining programs.

There is no real hashrate, because the proof-of-work is not based on hashes. The best equivalent is the "primespersec" line. ~200 seems to be a level for a desktop processor.

I'm pushing out 5500 pps, but no block for 2 hours now.

Another thing, how to restart the daemon?

Code:

./primecoind stop

then

Code:

./primecoind

to start again.

Is this on a single PC?

Use "primecoind stop" to kill it.

Silly me, trying "restart" and "exit" but not "stop"

With the block spacing ~12-15 seconds and the default gensieveroundlimitms set to 1 second, each miner has very little time to find a chain. Consider that: some time can be lost due to peer lag in being notified of a new block; a small amount of time is lost validating the pseudoprimality of the previous block; then the remaining time is usually lost cycling through thousands of unsuccessful sieves.
