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

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

[anonppcoin]

Maybe you meant to quote willphase's post.

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

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?

How much can i earn currently with one i3

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.

Actually the difficulty has been 7 from the start. it's now 7.91852725, I'm still finding blocks but only 15 coins per block now.

[vindimy]

Please download updated clients, these are using the official code base versus the "optimized" code on my branch which may be causing problems.

These replace my releases 5 and 8 respectively. Let me know if there are any other releases you were using.

FYI, I have a Core i5 2400S and release11 gives me ~350 pps while release12 ~500 pps. Numbers fluctuate though, but I was hoping release11 would be better for me.. Maybe I didn't wait long enough for numbers to improve, heh.

EDIT: I don't understand the hashing algorithm, but why would pps rate fluctuate so much? "getmininginfo" returns anywhere from 400 to 550 pps... I've never seen such hash rate changes.

How many confirmations are needed for maturing and is it related to difficulty?

[Stonedblues]

How long is a block expected to remain tagged as immature ? Is it linked to the number of confirmations ?
(sorry, if it has already been asked ; didn't find any answer by browsing the thread)

3200 confirmations then it's spendable.
