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

[Entz]

I think yPool.net is one of the only ones that has pooled XPM mining.
did mention that the miner uses windows libraries?  You can run it with Wine, but on a headless box it's a giant pain.  (Ever try installing Wine on an x64 system?  It's a nightmare.)

Yeah, which is very unfortunate. Not a fan of running windows for this kind of thing. Plus it seems to be a fair bit behind HP8

Hopefully one of the early benefits of the GPU miner will be a proper open-platform pooled CPU miner.

lol just ran on Test net, found over 4000 coins in 30 seconds. It's deff working, just bad luck right now

Try your previous best settings, but fiddle with roundsievepercentage to see what works best.

so then   roundsievepercentage=60?   

wat a good %..  totally lost with the newest setting here

9 orphans, it all for 3 weeks. Yes no one force me now. But BIG LIE with close to 200 XPM in my wallet force me ! If 0 found or all go in same day to orphans, than ok but they go after week, it's can be called only with 1 word:

Before you start shouting nonsense do some troubleshooting first. How is your setup doing on testnet? If you haven't tested it there do it ASAP, it will take you few minutes/hours to know more.

It was in my config first week and I start it manuelly every time, but never before full synchronization! And every day by day I found blocks. It was not blocks from future or past, it's was real blocks and I see they all like transactions... when first upgrade comming and I change with it, than all immature was transfered to orphans and was deleted from my wallet = was steal from me !!!

Orphaned blocks are not stolen, they are just not valid because they are not in the blockchain, hence no bounty...
I highly recommend that you try your miner on the testnet and stop complaining

[r3animation]

I'm guessing you didn't sync the blockchain fully and you were farming blocks that people had already mined.

[wetroof]

nvm

Not quite how it works, he just wasn't on the longest chain.

I have no set any option for testnet... How to do? And why?

[xyzzy099]

Use the '-testnet' switch when you start, or put 'testnet=1' in your config.

It's just for testing - you can generate blocks quickly, so it's easy to compare configurations.

[Tuck Fheman]

so it's easy to compare configurations.

eh. From my experience, I see no comparison from testnet vs mainnet, unless you reverse everything.

you can find out if you are actually mining blocks, which is good. but the settings that work on testnet usually don't work well at all on mainnet.

for me ... right now, higher settings do well on testnet, while lower settings do better on mainnet.

I wish testnet gave some indication of settings to use, but (due to the difficulty difference?) it doesn't come close.

Yeah, you're right...  I should have added "theoretically"

Right now I'm running into something weird - I set up a few computers in my house mining primecoin on hp8 - half had a sievesize of 100000 and half at 1000000 (I forgot to change a few settings). Since the release of hp8 I have had the two lowest end machines that I am running on each find a block with the 1m sievesize and none of the other machines (much newer/better) have found anything with the 100k sieveesize since the launch of hp8. It's probably a coincidence but it's still strange to see a Phenom 9500 getting 1k pps/2 cpm and a laptop i5 getting 1500 pps/2 cpm each get a block on the 1m sievesize while two 3930ks each getting 10k pps/20cpm get nothing in the same time frame with the 100k sievesize that people are suggesting. To me this is saying that the 1m sievesize is better or the numbers really don't matter in mining right now. What do you guys think?

Thanks for sharing that info. Since I haven't found blocks for some time I needed someone to confirm these settings do actually find blocks. The speeds are much higher, but I have no idea if they actually produce blocks faster (if at all). I've used high PPS/CPM as a measure for success simply because it showed success on testnet as an indicator for high BPM's. So finding the highest PPS/CPM on mainnet was my goal.

We need a larger sample though to determine what settings are best. I"m sure someone's finding a lot of blocks with one or both settings we just need to have them confirm their settings. But, I can understand people not sharing successful BPM settings. It's just hard to determine BPM when you have 1 CPU on mainnet to test with. 

So, I'm willing to find the highest PPS/CPM settings if someone (with a lot of rigs) will confirm the BPM's for me/us.

I'll post when I find more blocks but so far the only blocks I have found have been on hp7/hp8 with the 1m sievesize  (three on one 3930k on hp7 and one on each of the lower end ones previously mentioned). I have family members mining on another 3930k/an i7 laptop getting 2k pps/ 5cpm/a phenom II getting 3kpps/5-6cpm and they haven't gotten anything in the two days they have mined - it seems to all come down to luck with this, but the only sievesize we have found blocks on was the 1m setting so far, not the 100k setting. Then again, the 100k setting might be much better and it could be a combination of good/bad luck across the different computers. We really have no way to tell since the testnet isn't reflecting the mainnet right now.

On an unrelated note I got an interesting address when I created one to put in my signature ending with "GodxCD". I am a little amused that I got something with some sort of word in it just by chance.

could anyone tell me how good this is?

what are the addnode's? Is this something I should be putting in my .conf file? running windows
