[XPM] Primecoin - jhPrimeminer and Private Pools

[chainheart]

Hello,

First time on the forum so I thought I'd post my question straight away. I've recently started mining primecoin using a fair amount of compute power @ ~40 cores. To harness these cores I set up a private pool using the instructions at http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=623.0 -  I have set up my primecoin.conf as follows:

Code:

rpcuser=rpcuser
rpcpassword=<password>
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=8332
server=1

Each pool member is running rdebourbon's jhPrimeminer fork RdBBeta4.0F_x64 as downloadable here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sq24hzo993afy9c/l7icP0KiuM which is running on a mix of Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7 64-bit. For each miner in the pool, jhPrimeminer is launched with the following arguments:

Code:

jhPrimeminer.exe -o <primecoin-qt IP>:8332 -u rpcuser -p <password> -m 61 -target 9 -bttarget 9 -xpm <my wallet address>

Here's what the typical output looks like for one of the compute nodes:

Code:

══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

I have six nodes with similar stats all participating in the pool and I can see network connections to the primecoin-qt server as they are mining - after 48hrs, I still have 0.00 XPM. I've read up quite a bit and judging by the output (almost 80,000 PPS per node! Can this be correct?), I would've expected to have found a block by now. Am I doing something wrong? Am I finding blocks and just not getting them into my wallet, or are they taking a long time to confirm? Are my command line arguments appropriate? I will be happy to tip the person who can help me answer these questions in XPM - assuming the answer helps me get some coin in the first place!

Thanks,

FYI for anyone interested: looks like I just grossly underestimated the time vs. amount of compute power needed to mine XPM - I did get my first block about 5hrs after posting. I guess the difficulty is just going up with people's interest in this coin. Time for more cores!

Thank you.
I had the same problem.

Hello,
did you use the same wallet address for all your miners started on different machines?

Each pool member is running rdebourbon's jhPrimeminer fork RdBBeta4.0F_x64 as downloadable here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sq24hzo993afy9c/l7icP0KiuM which is running on a mix of Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7 64-bit. For each miner in the pool, jhPrimeminer is launched with the following arguments:

Code:

jhPrimeminer.exe -o <primecoin-qt IP>:8332 -u rpcuser -p <password> -m 61 -target 9 -bttarget 9 -xpm <my wallet address>

How can I check the network connections from miners to the server, so I can know that they are connected and working as one?

Thanks!

Anyone know how to set up private pool with linux on ubuntu? Or maybe a good guide somewhere?
