How would you start the linux primecoin miner?
./primecoind -daemon

How would you start the linux primecoin miner?
cat primestart.sh #!/bin/bash
PRIMECOIND=/usr/local/bin/primecoind DATADIR=$HOME/.primecoin
nice ${PRIMECOIND} -datadir=$DATADIR -rescan -maxconnections=8 \ -rpcuser=primecoinuser -rpcpassword=TopSecretNotWhatIreallyUse \ -gen=1 -daemon -rpcport=9912
Then to send it commands/queries, cat primcoind.sh #!/bin/bash
PRIMECOIND=/usr/local/bin/primecoind DATADIR=$HOME/.primecoin
if [ "$1" == "" ]; then echo "Syntax: primecoind.sh COMMAND" exit fi
$PRIMECOIND -datadir=$DATADIR \ -rpcuser=primecoinuser -rpcpassword=TopSecretNotWhatIreallyUse -rpcport=9912 "$@"
NOTE: I do not use config files, if I want to add -addnode or whatever, I add it to my coinstart.sh script. That means the wallet is the only damn thing in datadir i care about, not having to remember to also copy/save/backup a config file. (And the wallet can be backed up using ./primecoind.sh backupwallet ~/primecoinwallet-dd-mm.yyyy.sav or whatever so nothing really in datadir at all that I need care about.) -MarkM- Thanks How would I set a command to watch mining info and latest transactions?

Or you can run my primecoin-qt linux binaries as follows chmod +x primecoin-qt ./primecoin-qt then start mining by opening the debug window and setgenerate true NUMTHREADS where NUMTHREADS is the number of threads on the CPU you'd like to use DOWNLOAD HERE

This code seems to like core i's, my i5 and i7s got a bigger boost than my core 2s and fx 8120. About 1.5x more.
I tried doing builds with -O3 -march=native on a core 2 and fx 8120 and it made no difference.

what the heck is wrong with my i3 540, I can't get more than 70 pps, lol. I know it's a crappy cpu but still, it's not Commodore 64 ffs.

Good Work!
Used this version: primecoin-0.1.1-hp1-winx64 and got my first block in around 5 hours mining with it. Just updated to primecoin-0.1.1-hp2-winx64 but I'm getting a lower PPS than the previous build:
Ivy 3570K @ 4,4 Ghz
primecoin-0.1.1-hp1-winx64: around 8000 PPS primecoin-0.1.1-hp2-winx64: around 6800 PPS
Gonna trust mikaelh and will use the updated version with the lower PPS.

Just WOW: found another block in just 20 minutes mining with the new version primecoin-0.1.1-hp2-winx64.
This is by far the best miner/version out there right now!

hp2 64bit started at 3240 pps then slowed down to 2340 (2.6GHz AMD Phenom II X4 910e) Probably overheating CPU, I should clean the dust some time :-)

I'm still a bit skeptical. Would like to see updated testnet numbers.

Early results with a sieve size of 1,000,000. $ grep primemeter debug-hp2.log 2013-07-14 00:16:03 primemeter 43070284 prime/h 300695577 test/h 2013-07-14 00:18:03 primemeter 44915077 prime/h 311393971 test/h $ grep -c "Probable prime chain" debug-hp2.log 69 Looking good I think. mikaelh, Good work. Could you try to test how much performance boost were coming from limiting sieve round to 10% on the test net, to separate it from the effect of switching library.

I was very skeptical at first but after finding 3 blocks in the last 4 hours my opinion changed fairly quickly. Before , I used hardware that was twice as powerful and I couldn't find a block in 10 + hours. Great build mikaelh

I guess the network is all over this new build, we're averaging one block per 6 seconds right now!!

Hmm, how well will this work with my i3?
I have an i3 2 cores 4 threads. Sould I "set generate -1" or should I go the true core rout and "set generate 2"  ? I've read you solve more blocks while using all the cores not necessarily all the threads.

Getting tons of compiling errors when trying to build on osx using the makefile. I guess that makefile wasn't updated?
