[XPM] BFGMiner Prime Branch

[Kavre]

Any help, can't compile properly


configure: error: Could not find HASH_ITER - please install uthash-dev 1.9.2+     


apt-get install uthash-dev update
Reading package lists... Done

uthash-dev is already the newest version.

1.8.2 version

How to get version 1.9.2+ if it says is already the newest version.

did you build with ./confgure  --enable-cpumining ?


the command to run it on windows would be this but it just crashes for me on win 8 here

bfgminer.exe -a prime -S noauto -S cpu:auto -o localhost:9912 -u username -p password --coinbase-addr {primecoin wallet addr} --debuglog 2>prime.log

Yes, I built it with ./configure --enable-cpumining.
Made some progress with your command line though, I was trying port 8332.

Now I am getting invalid coinbase address though, it doesn't seem to like mine .  The wallet address is the receiving address, right?

I got this error and then I realized I had deleted and re-pulled the source and had not gone back in and made the edits to base58.c in the OP.  Recompiling with that code copied in and hopefully that will resolve...

EDIT:  no, that wasn't it.  I'm still getting the invalid coinbase addr error.

If you don't replace the library folder it will not be updated.  Be sure to move the library folder over from the BFGminer build to the final folder you will run the required files in.

Is anyone else finding that the block number in bfgminer is consistently lagging behind the current primecoind block?

Maybe it updates less often. I see it halted at some point, then it updates and it's in sync again. Just now it actually jumped one block "in front" of the daemon so it seems as if primecoind lagged 1 block.

Since I'm not seeing the corresponding "New block detected on network" message, I can't assume this.

this is covered in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=254462.20 along with a few other issues

I went over that again just to be sure and I don't see any solution there.

If you meant adding "--scan-time", that didn't change anything.

for the real thing: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=255358.msg2718956#msg2718956

--expiry 1 is it
if you dont do that, you will only notice blocks every 120 seconds as --expiry is default to 120.

Excellent, thank you.

So has anybody found a block using BFGminer?

How to use BFG miner on windows 7 x64? Thanx in advance.

[gateway]

Good job! I will look into API support tomorrow.

Had any chance this weekend to work on an API?

First, you compile it for Windows x64.

Here is another XPM standalone CPU miner if somebody wants to test it (I think it's based on pooler's cpuminer):

Its WIN32 only and its non portable because of heavy usega of win32 api

any news on the bfgminer code? seems like this hasn't gone much further

[drummerjdb666]

Maybe it has and instead of posting they are all freaking out about the amount of blocks they are finding without us?  lol
