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

[pollard86]

I get the error that the program can't start because it is missing zlib1.dll
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
I am on windows 7 64 bits with the latest drivers for my graphics cards.
//DeaDTerra

here is the solution >> http://zlib1dll.org/ copy zlib1.dll file to C:/Windows/System32 and SysWOW64 (Win x64 version) folders.

Lol, he submits a miner that does not even work.    Thinking about how bad it will be if someone does manage to get it to work haha

To be completely sure if your miner works, you can use testnet for testing   and see if you get a blocks.

How can i mine on testnet with reaper?

Same as regular just run the primecoind or primecoin-qt with switch -testnet, for example:

Code:

primecoin-qt.exe -testnet -server

If you are on Win64, that's why, it's only working on Win32...

I have x64 and it seems to be working.

I have x64 and it seems to be working.

what did you do to get it working? What os, card, drivers open cl sdk are you using?

[pyromaniac]

Buffer vPrimes not found what that's means and how do I solve this?

[ReCat]

I wonder how long until someone who paid posts a real link to the miner.

http://cryptobro.com/ <--- the source is there, with an md5 hash.

working on x64 for me aswell, the only problem is that it finds blocks with a lower difficulty then the actual one, and I dont receive anything on my wallet,
my reaper primecoin.conf

host 127.0.0.1
port 9914
user user
pass pass

protocol primecoin

worksize 64
aggression 21
sievepercentage 15
sievesize 25165824

primecoin_address Axxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
debug false
opencldebug false
cpu_mining_threads 4
use_gpu true
use_gpu_fermat_test true
getwork_rate 4000

and reaper.conf

kernel reaper.cl
save_binaries yes
enable_graceful_shutdown no
long_polling yes

mine primecoin
#mine primecoin_testnet

device 0

[yager]

If its crashing for you try playing with the sievesize setting in primecoin.conf
If it still crashing remove that setting all together and see if it runs.

In reaper.conf, you need to delete the line with "device 1" if you only got one GPU.

Those that are working on win x64, what version of AMD driver are you using?

I have multiple cards.
I have now got it to run for a couple of minutes, then it crashes.
The amount of time it runs seems to be dependent on the sieve changes but I have yet to find a stable setting.

I think the point is this is not even a beta version, more like an alpha.  It needs a lot more bug fixes before it is usable.

I love this:

I just want to say "Thanks!" to mtrlt and you 80+ donators now that the miner is released and available to all of us who haven't donated. Without you guys this would not see daylight. Thanks again!
