[XPM] Working on a GPU miner for Primecoin, new thread :)

[refer_2_me]

Now, i'm running in to config issues. It's probably something simple, but I'm getting 'Couldn't connect to server.' errors.
I have primecoind running with server=1, and I have a rpcuser and pass in my ~/.primecoin/primecoin.conf file.
What do I need to do to get running now?

My primecoin.conf (in the reaper dir) is:

Code:

host 127.0.0.1
port 9914
user primecoinrpc
pass <random pass>

protocol primecoin

worksize 512
aggression 21
threads_per_gpu 1
cpu_mining_threads 4
vectors 2
primecoin_address <my address>

use_gpu true
debug 1
device 0

What am I missing here?

You sure that port number's right?  Check it.

Code:

netstat -tpln

on *nix,

Code:

netstat -p tcp -an

on windows.  Look for or grep for the port number you're using (bound to either 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0).

someone mine on windows version of this miner ?

I think so. I see:

Code:

tcp6       0      0 :::9914                 :::*                    LISTEN      22704/primecoind

Although, this time it segfaulted:

Hi, I got it to compile, but I modifided the line

Code:

#ifdef CL_VERSION_1_2

to

Code:

#ifndef CL_VERSION_1_2

due to compile errors.

That doesn't make sense. You're basically swapping the if, thereby reverting back to the original version. You use an Nvidia card? On Linux?

Had the same problem. Search this thread, you have to fix something in libblkmaker so that it accepts your XPM address.

Ok, I hardly know a thing about c++, so I assumed it was a spelling error. I am on ubuntu 13.04 with a nvidia gtx 580 and 480.

The error I was getting before was:

Code:

/data/local/reaperprime_v2/AppOpenCL.cpp: In member function ‘void OpenCL::WriteBufferPattern(uint, std::string, size_t, void*, size_t)’:
/data/local/reaperprime_v2/AppOpenCL.cpp:296:1: error: ‘ifdef’ was not declared in this scope

Hey MTRLT, I've been trying to get this working on OSX, and I think i'm pretty close, but for some reason i get:
[CL_DEVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE]

Any ideas?

Code:

Just as an update, have gotten two total blocks from around 50 hours of mining with 2x7950 with a mild overclock.

Had the same problem. Search this thread, you have to fix something in libblkmaker so that it accepts your XPM address.

OK, I redownloaded and recompiled it since the update yesterday and it seems to be mining (no blocks yet). But I noticed that the stepdown from each chain size is much harsher then in the CPU version. With the CPU version, it's like a 90% reduction (eg. 100 4ch/h -> 10 5ch/h) but with the GPU, it's like a 97% reduction. Any idea why?

Also, I keep getting 'Sieve size must be a multiple of 64'  warnings during runtime. The sieve size seems to be set to 100,000 by default. Is there a way to change that? I can't seem to find the help info.

Go and edit the primecoin.conf file inside the miner's folder.

So, is there any news from developer? When new beta will be released?

Are you mining with window version or Linux version miner?

Windows version 2 (From September 4th) with mostly the default settings. I ran it through my reaperreader program, which seems to be keeping it stable for me for around 32 hours so far. Before that, I ran it on its own, and seemed fairly stable there too.

It crashed on my window8 64bit. thinking if it's worth the effort to compile a Linux version. Your information is helpful. Thanks.

Anyone with successful mining operation there? Come on guys.

[22naru]

can you tell me how you got  repearprimecoin beta v2?  sry if is already  posted here  this Q( i checked but i didnt found out the mistery ). can i have link  pls. cheers

Anyone willing to read? Hint: last page might be helpful

Having donated 1 BTC would have been a good idea. For all others that didn't donate, it might help to read some pages of this thread.
Time to log off. It seems i'm in bitching mode...

It must be working, I only mine XPM on CPU and my income has significantly reduced.

It could be more people getting connected but who knows.
