I need a block for crying out loud

Don't know what's worse

No more beer in the fridge or not finding a block in 20+ hours

Both are incredibly disheartening...

Would be nice if I could come home from work and find a six pack of beer show up in my fridge simply by having left my computer on running computations all day.

I've got a bad feeling based off your posts lately that you are trying to figure out how to make a fork of Primecoin. If I am right and it's a lame copy paste job with a couple of variables changed please don't bother.

My VPM miners are going down Sad

. You are welcome as well.

No blocks = No fun

Anybody know what god to pray to in order to mine a block? I'm thinking I've got the wrong one

Time to start doing pooled mining. yPool had a bit of a drought when I first started yesterday, but is now finding lots of blocks.

Aren't those fridges cupboards etc etc that track your inventory and order in stuff automatically for you out yet? Seems like it must be decades ago by now all that stuff was on its way. (Coming in another two weeks, maybe? Wink

You don't need to worry about me forking Primecoin, as I cannot even mine a Primecoin block let alone fork the client.

I just want to know why I can have just under 4000 PPS but not get a single block in 24 hours? And I wanted to know what it means when it says process block: Accepted?

I haven't gotten a block in 48 hours and I'm mining with 11,000 PPS total.

Because quite a few people have 200,000 pps each. So they are sucking up all of the coins. However if you hire an army of vps you too can do the same.
I much prefer coins that we can all mine with GPU really.

I can't offer constructive help unfortunately other than tell you what you probably already know, that the network hashrate is still growing (making 4k PPS not what it was a couple of days ago) and solo mining this coin can be high variance (get no blocks for a day and then suddenly 3 all come in within the space of an hour).

Accepted as valid a block someone else somewhere else mined.

(Checked it and it turned out to be acceptable so was tentatively added to the chain, at least until orphaned, if indeed it should turn out some time that it does end up orphaned.)

Hey Salfter. Could you post a screenshot from the v.0.2.1 miner?

It's a console program, so there's not much point in that. Here's some of the most recent output from it running on my VPS:

Here is the source: https://github.com/jh000/jhPrimeminer

Is this trustworthy?

In what sense: that it produces valid output, or that it doesn't do something weird with your computer? As for the first, it's mined about 1.25 XPM so far. That's more than I had previously gotten in a few days of solo mining (except for one block of 15.something XPM early on). As for the second, you can do what I do: run it under Linux with Wine. You could also browse through the source to see if there's anything fishy in it. If I had the time, I'd try porting it to Linux myself; it should run a little better natively.
