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

[8bitPunk]

I've been up for 36 hours cause of this coin, and still am not ready to rest.

Wow 
Either you've mined a lot of blocks, or you are really passionate about primes

just a warning, when I tried compiling on VS2012 with optimizations, I found that my serialization code was off kilt, and run into all sorts of issues...

if you're playing with the reference client, it might be worth just trying to optimize prime.c (via CFLAGS override in Makefile) since that's where all the logic for calculations are - and you won't risk messing with any of the other important network code.

Probably a good idea, testing with -O3 only on prime.

How on earth are you compiling this on VS2012? Do you have any project files you could share?

Maybe you meant to quote willphase's post.

I'm using MinGW for the builds I made.

Anyone know of an optimized linux build? I think mine is broken

[n4ru]

What's the difficulty at now?

Just build it yourself. Building on linux is seriously like 4-5 lines.

Thanks, fixed.

ehh I am an absolute noob with linux and I am using a headless linux so yeah. Would you mind uploading your client to github if it is optimized with his primespersec changes?

There is no Block from last 24 hours......... What happened?

a: you got disconnected
b: your on the wrong chain
c: you chain updates stopped for some reason

I am online.....

How to solve these other issues?

b: delete blockchain, re-download.
c: restart primecoin

Where is the blockchain data stored for windows, and what is the file name?  My client keeps desyncing with the chain without telling me and orphaning every block I find.  I can only fix it temporarily for an hour or so by restarting the client, and this is making it impossible to mine.

There appears to be a network fork at block#14214 just now. Please run this command

getblockhash 14215
and report your current block number

BTW, latest block reward is down to 15.98

Has there been a fork? My two mined blocks vanished  

 

I think I lost 6 blocks they are gone.

I waited for over 2 days to get those two blocks and they are gone. Seems like a tragic story for my CPU.

I guess slower internet connection is one of the reason to have higher orphan rates. I have a total of 4 orphans now.

Don't feel bad. I hit 4 of those too.. and I haven't mined a single thing for 14 hours.

Make sure you are using one of the builds that was made today, the ones from yesterday had these sorts of issues.

@SunnyKing
I might have found a minor bug of bitcoin-qt but now it seems it could be related to primecoin.

@Zalfrin, I'm using your revision 5 from yesterday, should I swap to your release 12? been finding block ok though?

Still luck, as has been stated for many pages.

Restart you primecoin-qt. worked for me when mine was stuck yesterday. I've just switched to Version 12 hope that should stop that happening.

OK, with this difficulty we are going to need a pool around now. A difficulty of 7 and solo mining that for me is pointless.
