[XPM] [ANN] Primecoin High Performance | HP14 released!

[Aggrophobia]

I did last week, made a killing. However I'm looking for a different VPS alternative because after the latest diff update this will no longer be profitable.

I'm thinking about switching to EC2. Anyone using them?

i have stopped it, because if the price drops - profit => lost with the long time the blocks need to mature im out!

but here are some stats:

Code:

-----   Mon Jul 22 19:24:42 CEST 2013   -----
------------      PRIMECOIN      ------------
20 Units - 16 Hours unit ~= 96 $ @30c /H*Unit
----    180544  PrimesPerSec
----     29460  5-chains
---------------------------------------------
Immature: 12 - Orphans: 0 => ~ 142 XPM
Blocks: 78175 - Difficulty: 9.22064346
Node Connections: 269
---------------------------------------------

so running 20 x cc2.8xlarge (0.25-0.28 each), 16 hours long => 12 blocks (aprox. 142 XPM)
with about 9000 pps or 1500 5-chains per cc2.8xlarge its "profitable", BUT you have to wait over a day until the blocks mature, sooo 30 % profit is not enough for taking the risk in my oppinion.

....

with mikaelh's script

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


without

./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 &&
sleep 2 &&
./primecoind -daemon


if you don't know what private keys are, don't handle these scripts

In case you're wondering... here's the code to update to HP6

UPDATE TO HP6
primecoind stop
wget -O primecoin-0.1.1-hp6.tar.bz2 "http://sourceforge.net/projects/primecoin-hp/files/0.1.1-hp6/primecoin-0.1.1-hp6.tar.bz2"
tar -xvjf primecoin-0.1.1-hp6.tar.bz2
rm -rf ~/primecoin
mv primecoin-0.1.1-hp6 primecoin
cd ~/primecoin/src
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/primecoind
sudo mv primecoind /usr/local/bin/.

primecoind --daemon
watch -n 5 'primecoind getmininginfo & primecoind listaccounts'

not yet on git

Ouch, i feel sorry for the linux noob that runs this without knowing what it does.

Just ran it on my 4000 AWS machines.. What's wrong with that command then?

+1 worked wonders, increase my PPS by a couple percent. Getting blocks faster now, WOW!

I ran this and It made me mine 10 blocks in a row at only 900pps!

Sarcasm, much?

Remove wallet.dat?

I have a microinstance at ec2 that absolutely sucks

Try linode or myhosting. They have 8  cores for $20/month.  Haven't tried myhosting yet but linodes service seems good although I've only found one block in the last 30 hours on my 8 core at linode

Hahahahaha shit thanks for the lol's guys.

Is the bitbucket down for anyone else or just me?

They are just fucking stupid... don't listen to them !

otherwise did anyone figure out if we should put emphasis on chainspermin or pps ? I would think cpm...

[wetroof]

actually primecoind is not working with a cc2.8xlarge instance right? at more than 16 cores you do not see increase in the pps measure though the cores are being utilized the top command indicates. so I'm not sure what is going on...

you get the same primespersec with genproclimit=16 or genproclimit=32

even though cpu utilization is different. 1600% vs 3200%

[relm9]

With the latest build sometimes my pps goes down to sub 100 and stops using all cores. Restart fixes it. Not sure what is going on. It is a dual proc machine, 24 threads/12 cores total.

[blackboy]

same here
sucks... too unstable... aborting for the day

[wetroof]

thats happening to me right now. it's a network problem I guess.

[Aggrophobia]

"blocks" : 78414
since 10 minutes
oO

[Tamis]

yep got the same problem here !
First primecoin bug ?

[FiiNALiZE]

After about 6ish hours of mining, my PPS goes down from ~600 to about ~50.

I have to manually restart the client in order to fix it, but it's annoying having to go through all 50 of my computers.

I'm hoping Sunny's build remains stable.

Edit: It's probably because the network is stuck right now.

[n4ru]

Network stuck on block 78414!

[Ethera]

currentblocksize is 200k + abit..

guess thats the stuff

prime chains from 17 to 0
primepersecs from 6.5k to 150

thats dual processor 6core each xeon reporting right there.

yay for the tough one!
