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

[ReCat]

nope. it's useless.

this may be true but

all hope for xpm is lost. it's gonna just die down as a botnet coin.

this is your personal opinion which I do not share.

This coin works well although there is no GPU or ASIC miner.

That's because it has some new algorithms in it instead of just a new currency name and 5 parameters adjusted.

+1

I know, I was being comedicly melodramatic.

Well i was really hoping i could get the opencl kernel to compile in osx after 10.9 Mavericks which includes open CL 1.2, but no dice.  Still crashes in the same place when trying to compile the kernel.

Anyone managed to run this thing in osx?

I don't think anyone has managed to run this thing on windows or linux either. It doesn't work or run. Don't you know that? For everybody it crashes.

Reread the thread, some guys managed to make it run and find blocks...it's slower than a cpu with hp11 though.

I got it to run and find blocks in OpenSuSE, but it's slow as hell and was a bastard to compile (many mods required). I get a better return on ypool with their cpu miner.

Yup, indeed...

Oh. I see. Interesting.

Well yeah that's fanstastic. thanks mtmlr!

May I ask what GPU you are running and how many chains/day you getting?

[noncecents]

It looks like this project is dead.

[smoothie]

OP duped "donators".

Nothing new. There is no shortage of scammers around here.

That's interesting about this group of people at this forum. So many altruistic people who are here because of the idea, and also so many blatant lowlifes. You can't find such a mix nowhere else.

You know what is strange?

So many people seem to hate him, yet his trust rating is pretty much.. 0. Why hasn't he received negative trust ratings?

Trust rating system here is a big mystery.

[ReCat]

Because they actually have nothing to complain about.

I'm uncertain if this was sarcasm or not.

[ReCat]

It's not. Learn how computers work and stop being a crybaby.

Mtmlr received 10 grand and released garbage that resulted in complete loss of everyone.

What does that have anything to do?

He should have at least refunded his clients after failing to do the job he said he was going to do. (Unless if he was working on it full time. In which. Keeping it is understandable. But he was not working full time, as you could tell.)

[ReCat]

Or you know, prove me wrong and write a blazing fast GPU miner.

I never said it was possible in the first place. I know how computers work. Why did Mtmlr encourage people to give him 77 BTC if he knew it would probably not work? He was using his past history to make people think he was capable, but he was not.

[ReCat]

Why should I trust you?

I am the creator of the GPU miner Reaper. I was the first person to show that GPU mining Litecoins (i.e. scrypt) is possible and also a lot more efficient than on the CPU. I've made my own GPU miners for many coins, including Bitcoin, Litecoin and Yacoin, although not all of them have been released to the public. The Primecoin GPU miner will be free and open-source.

I am also a university math student, and I have made my own implementation of the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm used by Bitcoin (and all its forks) to make transactions. From scratch. (Yes, that includes my own bignum library.) I know a lot about algebra, prime numbers and such.

How fast is the miner going to be?

Currently it's not really faster than a CPU. It'll be optimized in time, though.

That doesn't really support your statement.

[ivanlabrie]

Sigh.

This guy's been whining forever in this thread...

[ReCat]

I'll admit. I like to whine. It just seems so wrong for him to have not refunded people at least partially.

[Trillium]

Might be time for some counseling, it's been months and you haven't moved on yet.
