Found this little bash script from reddit
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5987007

It show your balance, recent transactions and pps, just like the command:

Code:

watch 'primecoind listtransactions & primecoind getmininginfo'

Simpe guide for using it in user's home directory

Code:

cd
wget https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5987007/raw/5f92a73e579f448a1af0e7b40ec45974e54ab4c9/miningstats.sh
chmod +x ./miningstats.sh
watch ./miningstats.sh

And the script outputs like this:

Code:

[+] Your balance is: 0.00000000
[+] Recent transactions are (amount / state)
15.79000000 - orphan
[+] You're currently mining at 149 pps

Thanks, at least the terminal will show me 0.000000 in a fancy and simplistic way

Maybe you are on Ubuntu 12.04? That package appears to be only available in 12.10+.

Can you get into specifics about this..

When its matured, primecoind SENDtoADDRESSGOESHERE HOMEWALLETADDRESSGOESHERE ?

and what about for the VPS? Once you find the private key which address do you put?

Getting coins to another wallet:
There are a number of ways to do this:
After they've matured:

Code:

primecoind sendtoaddress yourhomeaddress amount

Before they've matured:

from vps:

Code:

primecoind listtransactions # to find the receiving address
primecoind dumpprivkey $receiving_address

from home:

Code:

primecoind importprivkey $privkey_from_vps

I then remove the wallet.dat from the vps to get all new keys, though its not necessary.

primecoind listtransactions gets you the address the minted coins are 'sent' from.
put that address here: primecoind dumpprivkey HERE

go to wallet on your pc and do importprivkey PRIVKEY

This will send you to coins that are not matured as well

maybe your wallet is still locked? or you already imported it

DO made me prepay quite a bit in fiat, so I'm just riding out the remainder of my deposits.

I use this to dump all the private keys, remove wallet.dat, and restart primecoind.

Careful with it!

Code:

primecoind setgenerate false
primecoind listsinceblock 963d17ba4dc753138078a2f56afb3af9674e2546822badff26837db9a0152106 | grep address | grep -o '"A[^"]*"' | sed s/\"//g | xargs -L1 primecoind dumpprivkey
primecoind stop
sleep 2
rm ~/.primecoin/wallet.dat
primecoind --daemon

Do this:

(win qt)

console:

walletpassphrase *yourpw* 60

Then try importprivkey.

Bam!

+1 goes to you. This worked now. Thanks for the help. I will now source you in the other thread.

Is there a way to send my wallet.dat from the vps to my machine?

Thanks in advance!

You can copy it, but importing private keys is easier...

I would just like to learn the copying as well. How do I do that. Thanks!
