I feel like I am not doing the mining correctly. Am I correct to be mining from within primecoin-qt through the debug window by simply setting "setgenerate true -1"?

The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

That's correct. Another way is creating a "primecoin.conf" file with "gen=1" in it (without the double quote). The place to store the file depends on your operating system. On Windows it should be %appdata%\primecoin\primecoin.conf On Linux it should be ~/.primecoin/primecoin.conf |

That's correct. You can type 'getprimespersecond' or 'getmininginfo' to make sure you are actually mining. It varies a lot, and is not a good indicator of how fast you are mining, but as long as it's higher than zero, you should be ok. |

Why does block generation remain 200%+ of the target rate? Since diff isnt rising quickly now I assume new power no longer being added to the network at high rates. so shouldn't the network have adjusted difficulty well enough by now to keep block generation close to target? I'm going by cryptometer.org charts: http://cryptometer.org/primecoin_90_day_charts.html |

Is there a hardware comparison chart yet? I'm hitting around 6200 PPS with an AMD Phenom II x4 960T (unlocked to 6 cores).

That's a great idea. Although PPS varies a lot and is kind of a meaningless measure, considering it varies by client and seivesize. |

It will be okay until you get past your keypool (default of 100 addresses). After that, the wallet files will diverge and start using independent keys. |

The stats for xpm seems off there, right now the volume on xpm from the 4 exchanges webpage: mcxnow: 80k xpm / 1100 btc
cryptsy: 45k xpm /
coins-e: 25k xpm /
vircurex: / 180 btc
Still the total is over 2000 btc though. |

I'm gonna guess that it's the number of transactions currently associated with the block... |

Add it to your .conf file. What's the syntax? |
