Or better yet, do folks have recommended sievesizes for different platforms?

Ok, so I have followed all guides on how to install this but it still doesn't work on Ubuntu 13 x64bits (I managed to install it on 32 bits, same problem with Debian).
Can anyone please tell what's is wrong with this error?:

I got these installed:

Code:

apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/mikaelh2/primecoin
apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libdb5.3++-dev -y
apt-get install libgmp-dev

cd ~/primecoin/src
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-

How much ram do you have on that server?

512MB, I was able to install the official client before, seems to be having the same problem installing even new official client now.

Will swapping help?

so if I just replace the primecoin-qt.exe and the daemon on this windows machine, what will happen with the coins that are already on this machine? Or is it best to send these coins to another account before installing this release on this machine?

We need good Wiki or a FAQ. Same questions been asked over and over again, and you can't point people anywhere.

Your coins are tied to your private key(s), which is in wallet.dat file. That file is located in totally separate directory from your Primecoin client, and any re-installation has no effect on it.

on a windows machine, where is this wallet.dat file stored? Im not finding it.

It depends on your version of windows, but it's in the hidden app data > roaming > primecoin folder in your user account folder.  It's easier to just select "backup wallet" from the file menu and put it somewhere where you can find it easily.

Should be appdata/primecoin

Any tips is greatly appreciated further funding & development.

Thanks!

I see from the debug.log of hp4 that when I change sievesize test/h increases but 5-chains/h decreases on one machine, all by 2 times. Should I trust 5-chains/h more or test/h more?

[nmersulypnem]

I'm trying to build this for windows...  What version of GMP is it using?  Is that the only new dependency?

Do I just add it to c:\Deps ?

Dude, stop spamming your glorified RSS feed. If you want to advertise, pay for it.

Simmer down TheSwede75...

I've always loved the term " simmer down " . Lol

[dudeguy]

Honestly I remember seeing your post twice on this thread, at most. I could be wrong but I think it's a good idea to keep on track with XPM news on the go.

bah ok I was getting 1 block / hr with a sievesize 1M. Trying 2M, will see how it works out.

Update: not seeing much of a difference. Still ~ 1 block/hr.

Completely unrelated Q, do folks know how the primecoind daemon generates it's randomized primes, is this via a random seed generator? Just want to check that my duplicate linux systems aren't trying to find the same blocks .

Seeing a small boost with hp4. Still running dry for over 30 hours *fingers crossed*

I was dry for over 72 hours than BAM BAM 2 blocks in 3 hours. That was at around 2900-3500 PPs.

Congrats!!

Hoping for the same for me too; running over 3k pps now; will increase it later in the day.
