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

[primer-]

New RapidPrime miner 35% faster than hp11 latest beta build

Using a closed-source precompiled miner? U mad?

As if you can read code.. Aeroclouds ypool miner is also closed source. So are all PTS miners

...no

Yes.. His last open source version is t16 - 3 months old. All t17 and 18 versions are closed source.  YAM PTS miner by yvg1900 - binary only, abc123 pts miner - binary, etcetc

Can somebody help me? cannot get Prime coin running...I am going through all instructions, Windows 7 computer 64 bit. My command prompt for the miner keeps instantly closing. I downloaded the recommended miner. Searched for awhile on how to keep my command prompt from closing, got no where. Below is a screenshot of me doing a simple command for the set it to use all cores, then i getmininginfo and it never sets it up. I have had major issues getting any other miners to run. The only other mine I ever got to run was the Dogecoin one, and I COULD NOT get it to run using my GPU. I have a feeling I am missing some kind of library/extensions since this is all installed on an SSD. I have no idea what I am missing if I am missing something.

thanks to anyone who can help

First of all, the (Windows) command prompt is something different than the wallet debug window, visible in your screenshot. You don't need the command prompt to mine with the wallet application or High Performance client.

Secondly, everything is working fine in your screenshot. As you can see from the "getmininginfo", "generate" is set to true, so your computer is already working. It just takes a while for the performance stats to show up. Wait for 2 minutes, then enter "getmininginfo" again, and you'll see.

And finally, no one uses the wallet app to mine Dogecoins. You'll need cgminer (for AMD cards) or cudaminer (for nVidia cards) for that. That's a whole different topic though.

Nothing of this has anything to do with your SSD.

...and this is why I don't use them. Anyways, the point isn't that *I* can read the code, the point is that the community can read the code and collectively decide whether a program is trustworthy.

Of course, if there are enough people that take the risk to experiment  (and if there is an absence of "someone emptied my wallet"-messages after a few weeks) also constitutes kind of a proof, but I prefer the other kind.

Sounds about right. Problem?

Well, it's 32 cpu(16 in hypertrading) on one machine.

One month ago man got 4.78 with 9.9 difficulty http://www.reddit.com/r/primecoin/comments/1rt9tn/does_primecoin_need_to_be_optimized/

I can't beleive this is normal

Yeah, and then diff = 10+ happened. Massive reduction in the value is normal and expected.

[pesanu]

right, from 4.78 to 0.2. Really?
What kind of math is it?

Periodically i get this error (every 1-2 day) on Ubuntu 13.10...

HP12 released! The download links are on the first page as usual. Since people keep running into the bugs in older releases, I have finally decided to make a new release. This is a recommended upgrade for all users. Note that this release does not contain my very latest experimental optimizations. Nevertheless, many smaller optimizations and improvements are included.

Release highlights:
 * Fix for shared wallet files. If the same wallet.dat file is copied to multiple machines, they should all try to solve unique blocks now.
 * Fix for getwork protocol. Some versions of jhPrimeminer support solo mining using a patched getwork protocol. That patch is included in this release.
 * OS X binaries of the Qt client.
 * Fix for the assertion failure crash.

Changes:
 * IMPORTANT: Fix for multiple machines doing the same work if wallet is shared.
 * New chain statistics in debug.log.
 * Removed 'primespersec' from the output of getmininginfo.
 * Removed 'chainspermin' metric.
 * Replaced -sievepercentage parameter with -sievefilterprimes.
 * New parameter -l1cachesize for specifying the size of sieve segments.
 * Added new blocks/day metric which tries to estimate how many blocks will be found at current difficulty.
 * Better automatic adjustment of primorial factor.
 * New parameter -primorial for manual adjustment of primorial.
 * Implemented early support for v0.2 proposal (needs to be enabled with -miningprotocol=2).
 * David's fix for getwork.
 * Updated to Bitcoin v0.8.6 codebase.
 * Improved the checking of BiTwin chain candidates. As a consequence, short BiTwin chains (1 or 2 primes) are now counted correctly in the mining statistics. Primes/h is now much higher due to this.
 * The Qt application is now titled Primecoin High Performance.
 * Fixes for Mac OS X and the Clang compiler.
 * Revised default sieve parameters.
 * Added an automatic donation feature when a new block is found. The -donationpercentage allows a percentage of the block reward to be donated to an address. E.g. passing the command-line parameter -donationpercentage=1.5 will donate 1.5% of every block to the developer. Alternatively, this value can be set in primecoin.conf. Also, the default address can be changed using -donationaddress.

Hallelujah!

Thanks for the new update mikaelh

was wondering why he updated this, I know why now.

Just to be clear: that feature is disabled by default. Still, if someone wants to donate, it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for the clarification, Although I was being silly. (and critical)

Is there absolutely any profit left in mining?

I checked the link and it's the latest version. The binaries in that archive say they are version v0.1.2xpm-hp12-beta. Make sure you don't have an old binary in /usr/local/bin or something.
