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

[FiiNALiZE]

Ok, here's the real fun story:


There had a man, who bought 10XPM at 0.1. But there have some guys, who do not want, selling at 0.003

To the guy who bought at 0.1: lol.

Or in modern parlance... "fat finger"

Welcome to cryptsy.com Primecoin miners and traders. We at cryptsy.com are very excited to support another Sunny King coin!

Can anyone tell me if this is a good performance?


Approx 900 pps on an Intel Core i7 2600 using all 4 cores.

Approx 1200 pps on an AMD FX 8350 Black Edition using 7 of the 8 cores  (setgenerate true 7)

Yes this looks pretty good IMO

Yea GPUs are good for primes
check it http://www.primegrid.com/

open cl and cuda apps

very interesting, thanks for the link

Yeah, so Cryptsy can murder it in cold blood.

Trying to have faith, that won't happen to this one!    although it sure seems like the graveyard for a couple or few coins...     I do like cryptsy though.. they have the more sane chat compared to btce!..


Mcxnow <3  as well though!!!

Can someone pls explain the genproclimit concept?

For example I get -1  but I read others are talking about 80, 90 etc.

What does this mean? using Linux

    "blocks" : 26672,
    "currentblocksize" : 1835, <<< usually this is 1000 but sometimes it jumps up. What does it mean?
    "currentblocktx" : 4,

Is this Linux or a newer client? Win7, 2500K at 4600 I'm getting 200pps.

I have those exact CPUs as well. My i7 2600 is getting ~1500 and my FX-8350 is getting 2200-2800... which build are you using?

It isn't Linux, it's just a standard MS windows setup.

I had  the first build, then updated it with this update:

Yeah it's good i guess, I generate ~650 with i5-2400k

Why do all the wallet lag on the block chain i have to stop and restart them all

[matt4054]

You mean you are staying stuck at a certain block height, and restarting gets your chain going again?

You may probably improve your connectivity by allowing incoming connections. Assuming your behind a NAT router, either port forward TCP 8332 (supposing that Primecoin also uses 8332 as the standard port, not sure about this, didn't check), or let UPnP do it for you (needs to be enabled).

Not sure that this is network-related, however. Are you using "headless" primecoind or Primecoin-Qt? Did you check the console, log file and STDERR for any meaningful output about it?

I can't find any blocks.  Is there a good way to translate the number of primes required to find a block at current difficulty?

Eg: in BTC, we know an average 2 ^ 32 * difficulty number of hashes will find a block.

[igysa]

getmininginfo console command:

besides the other lines, i got:

"currentblocktx" : 2,  and the value was 0..
what does this mean ? found 2 blocks ? or ? :/

getbalance
0.0000000  :/

what is the command to have balance, blocks  and pps all the time displayed ? any ? or to check blocks, orphanes ?

I think 'currentblocktx' is the number of transactions to be included in the current block, if you successfully mine (solve) it. Nope, that doesn't mean you found 2 blocks... if you want to see the blocks that you "found" (generated), just use 'listtransactions' for example.

what is the command to have balance, blocks  and pps all the time displayed ? any ? or to check blocks, orphanes ?

I'm using this on Linux with headless primecoind:

$ watch "./primecoind getmininginfo && ./primecoind listtransactions"

On Windows, I leave the main window opened (transactions list, I can see if I find blocks) and the debug/console window that allows me to check the pps from time to time

[maco]

35 hours+ with PC mining i5 CPU @ 400 - 600 PPS (no block for 35+ hours)

4 Linux servers (AVG PPS BELOW)
10 cores at 2500 PPS - NO BLOCK
1 CPU @ 500 PPS - NO BLOCK
1 CPU @ 700 PPS - NO BLOCK
12 CORE CPU @ 1500 - 2500 PPS NO BLOCK.

hm.. I'd be happy to even see a return on my hardware/resources,
but it doesn't look like that will be happening anytime soon.
