[XPM]unofficial jhPrimeminer thread

[mumus]

pls do make one thanks.. i cant receive shares on the original client running on win 32 bit..or my cpu is too slow.. thanks in advance.

Done. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1189851/jhPrimeminer-GMP-32bit.zip
But, again, on my quad core i7 I have about 30k PPS with the 64bit version and only 3.5K PPS with the 32bit version. This means it's about 8x slower.
If anybody else has suggestions are welcome to comment. I guess the problem is with the 32bit version of the mpir library.

Thanks Mumus.. it runs a little bit faster than the original client for 32 bit..but the speed of getting shares need more monitoring.

The most recent version (v3) includes the following:

Add -d (SievePercentage) & -primes (SievePrimeLimit) command line parameters that can be used for more tweaking.
SievePercentage  ranges from 1 - 100, recommended is around 10 (default is . It limits how many base primes are used to filter out candidate multipliers in the sieve

The idea of SievePrimeLimit was taken from the latest official jhPrimeMiner source. The default value is equal to MaxSieveSize which I still recommend.

Changed the sampling time for the multiplier auto adjustment to 10 sec.

SievePercentage is similar to cabin's '-d' (SieveDivisor) parameter but it's using percentage instead of division of the sieve size. (ex: '-d 100' is equivalent to '-d 1' in cabins build,  50 = 2,  25=4 and so on)

Hi mumus,

would it be possible to add solomining support in your build? Thanks in advance

How can I install your miner on VPS server, e.g. Digital Ocean?

You'd have to use a VNCServer instance and run it through WINE as far as I know. (haven't tested in mono)

Yes, working fine with standard wine

Did version .35 add anything new that can be used in the current miner?

[psyc]

hi, jhprimeminer cabin 0.33.2 is slow respect 0.33.1.
with 0.33.1 i have many shares found.
use the same configuration
why?

[zax983]

I'm sure, you will ignore this quest... But can you make any like this for solo?

Support for solo mining is planned and is in progress.

Thanks for all that you do mumu / cabin.

Can I ask for a better auto reconnect system? Invariably when JH reboots his pool 50% of my miners crash.

[tinnvec]

First off, thanks for a great miner version!

I do have a small issue with it, however, 5 and 6 chain share values are reported incorrectly in the miner.
5 length chains are worth 0.003 (miner reports 0.015625)
6 length chains are worth 0.1 (miner reports 0.125)

It seems 7 and 8 length chains are reported correctly, however, at 1 and 10 share value respectively.

In any event, great work on this miner, and keep it up!

I've found and fixed the problem and later today I will release a binary, hopefully with a little improvements in the speed.

The formula we  used in jhPrimeminer for calculating the share value is:
shareValue = pow(8, floor(shareDifficulty) - 7)

I will clarify with jh00 if this formula is still correct.

No problem at all, formulaically determining share value makes the most sense anyway. I just noticed the discrepancy through observation between the ypool site and my i7 at home.

anyone have a version that doesn't require wine to run on linux?

Hi,
I just built another version with the following improvements:
1. Fixed the crash problem when the client disconnects from the pool
2. Included more code optimizations from SunnyKing's and Mikaekh's primecoin client. Thanks again. You may show your appreciations to them as well and to all who contributed (mtrlt, gara, etc.)
3. More tweaks to improve Share value rate.

Hopefully this version will be faster. I can't tell exact numbers because I didn't made a long run tests yet. Again when comparing versions use the same settings though this one may perform better with different sievesize and sievepercentage, and also use long run tests where let's say you have an equal number of 7+ difficulty shares.
I would like to have some feedback here.

Source will be updated tomorrow.

Enjoy!

Edit: please note that the default values for the parameter -s and -d was changed.

Thank you very much... but... could you make a 32bit version?

Thanks in advance again

[mindragon]

Trying it on two machines.

Update: It runs on two machines. It seems to run just as good as the cabin build that I had.

Running the updated version with defaults options on my i7 3770k, will report back with more solid results, but so far, looks like a marked improvement.
I have a request too, it doesn't need to be in normal repeated stats on every line, but a counter for 8 and 9 length chains in the block report thing would be very cool.
