Give me a FLO/LKY/MEC/WDC address and I'll send you some coin

Is MEC (Megacoin)?

If so:

Thanks everyone that helped me, I finally managed to get the patched version to work under OpenSUSE 12.1.

I'm wondering now, how is the original binary portable yet considerably smaller in size (my product was a 50 MB beast!).

Testing now.. got a few horses doing 2600-2800 PPS already.

And this horse suddenly started doing 5000~

Primecoin: Add gensieveroundlimitms config parameter

Tell me more!

It has to be statically compiled, not sure if the makefile does that already or not, not so compiler savvy.

I'm getting "The program can't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

Please tell me I'm not retarded.

Yep, sorry I compiled it without the DLL's included;

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5uot5d5xiwxfln6/libs.zip

Thats why JoeMattie asked me to compile with them included,

Unzip those into your program files directory and you should be fine.

Do you mean unzip DLL to the original primecoin folder or the one download from your dropbox?

To the new folder downloaded from his dropbox.

forgot mingwm10.dll

here is one with everything in

Thank you. The laymans are happy.

Any chance the select few people hanging around this thread can compile and dropbox a QT client?

This change doubles the primespersec.

[eule]

Seeing ~1000 pps on 7 cores of an i7 930 and ~200pps on an old Centrino Duo, indeed doubled the primes per second.

Yea double is a good estimate. I found one block for now right after i started one of them horses. So blocking works

+1  I would be forever grateful if someone could compile this for windows.

Wow!! I'm seeing more than a 300% improvement since last check-in.
Excellent!

I think i'm doing it wrong.

Editing the file with notepad++ is enough or not?

Because i don't see my pps change

Why is this not being released for windows ? then everyone can try it
