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

[ReCat]

Just for people to be able to find it easily.

HERE IS THE LINK TO THE PRIMECOIN GPU MINER WIN32 BINARY + SOURCE CODE http://cryptobro.com/reaperprime.zip

You can thank me later.

[mtrlt]

I'll try to have the source on GitHub this weekend.

Good, that's a start to move this thing along. We need to get this thing going, as right now it seems stagnant.

[Asphyxiated]

tandyUK has the source on their github page https://github.com/tandyuk/ReaperPrime

no changes or anything but its up there if you want it.

[ReCat]

I wonder how many months after the public release it will take until the GPU miner is actually mining at least a bit faster than the CPU Miner.

It should be posted by mtrlt so this can be done in an organized fashion

I'm guessing never. This project was a complete failure and a borderline scam.

I don't know about that - just need some good coders who love primecoin to take up the project. Hopefully mtrlt will stay involved and provide leadership.

He said borderline. That means not necesarilly but it sure feels like it. Absolutely 0 of the donators got any kind of ROI whatsoever.

True but now the primecoin community has a working, albeit buggy and inefficient, gpu miner with source code  to serve as a starting point.

That's something at least, but yeah, the donations part was rather disappointing for now, to say the least.

Without the donations the GPU miners wouldn't have come out so soon I guess. The donation has worked more or less as donations should.

As one of the donators, I feel a bit cheated. I had assumed that at this point, the gpu miner would be at least a working beta, not the mess we have on our hands, which really does not work. Perhaps mtrlt will release another update with various fixes he's got, but until then, we've just got an alpha at best - not even a good proof of concept. Perhaps it's due to the naysayers that he released it so early in development - and perhaps that's why he's keeping quiet as well.

Ideally, I'd love to see someone take up the code and develop it into a working miner - even if it's just GPU-accelerated - any bit that will help the cpu miner at doing its job would be appreciated.

Sorry your inventment didn't or hasn't worked out. But as donation it worked out.

As a side note the investors shouldn't have rushed mtrlt to bring out the miner. Among the three factors -- quality, cost, schedule -- you can only control two. People demanded schedule with a limited cost, and they get a low quality product.

[ivanlabrie]

Yeah, we all know how donations work, but not many know how much a developer the caliber of mtrlt could make in the time he took to make this miner...pretty sure much more than the btc he got as donations.

It's not great, but it exists, and that's a big feat by itself.

[FoldingTime]

Has the source code been released for anyone else to fix?

As for leadership, I am not up for the job. I'm not a leader, nor do I want to become one.

[busminer]

you gave me not working gpu miner...

[usahero]

Yeah, please release something that is able to find blocks and doesn't crash after 5sec-1min.
