Primecoin GPU miner: 9.1 CPD on a 280x / pool / 2% dev.fee

[kev7112001]

Question: what if i purchase 1 lisence for 1 card on my rig, and next month i want to add three more cards to the same rig? Will i have to pay for all the four cards (the one previous lisence bought + 3 new cards) ?

Im asking cause right now i dont have resources nor the cards ready, but will have them by the end of the month, but i want to start mining right away with i have available which is 3 cards, and then i want to update to 6 cards on the same rig, so how i will do this?

yes its per gpu also im not sure you want to do that as this isnt gpu only it uses cpu too and i think 6 would be overkill unless you have a server board running alot of cores

Is there anyway to know, how many xpm put to the wallet that's mining without stop the prime-gpu and start the official wallet qt to see the balance ?

You can try to enter your wallet address to the field  on the top right on following URL in order to find out >> https://coinplorer.com/XPM

Thank you for your suggestion but i need to see the immature block because i need to know th e current status. Check blance from the blok explorer is need to confirm by network before it put balance to my address.

yes primecoind.exe listtransactions
or getbalance but listtransactions will show immature

Thank you this's very helpful.

Another question, what's important about when miner found 10-chains ? Is this a good chance to found a block ?

Hey kev - this is neat way to do that - I have completely forgot the usability of primecoind.exe at all for some reason so Thanks for a reminder!

additionaly i got a different question here - before I have started mining with prime-gpu miner I already had 5 addresses generated within my Qt wallet (balance for all of em was zero when I started), but I have noticed that if I will query for "listaccounts" it returns the following:

Code:

{
    "" : 22.41105963,
    "Prime-GPU" : 0.00000000,
    "********" : 0.00000000,
    "beeeeer.org" : 29.69321678,
    "rpool.net" : 20.91572359
}

above is a little bit confusing for me as I absolutely cant understand how it is selecting the target address for the blocks mined.
is there any way I could possibly force the miner to add the future mined blances to the specific address within my Qt wallet/acount?

Another question, what's important about when miner found 10-chains ? Is this a good chance to found a block ?

Code:

primecoind.exe getdifficulty

will return the current difficulty for XPM

At the moment I am responding to your question - it is "10.51625824", which means (as I mentioned earlier) that any chain with a difficulty higher than this being found effectively means you have found a block.

if u want to import you go to the miner type primecoind.exe dumpprivkey for the address for the block found it will give a long key copy that go to the wallet type importprivkey and that key and it will transfer now each miner will come up with more than 1 so you will have to do it more than once before you get them all but from then on any block found will go to that wallet that u imported the keys to

3x7970

3.85 average CPD
36 hours: 0 block, 3 10-ch

we need a pool

I had to reindex the blocks when the prime-gpu.exe crashed. Has this happen to anyone else yet?

Yup same here, I won't buy anymore licenses until a private pool is up.

is this working at all?

not sure... thinking of swithing back to Claymore miner...

never crashed on my side so far

I got it up and running again.

Is there linux version avaiable?

Hi, PrimeGPU, thanks for your answer about Nvidia, but I mentioned specifically CUDA - everybody knows, that Nvidia promotes their stuff and punishes others (OpenCL).
I take it as a given (although sad) you are not interested in technology every supercomputing centre (worth mentioning) uses.

To add some recent info : ... scrypt ... But the Maxwell architecture's improvements allow the 60 W GeForce GTX 750 Ti to outperform the 140 W GeForce GTX 660 and approach AMD's 150 W Radeon R7 265, which just launched, still isn't available yet, but is expected to sell for the same $150. On a scale of performance (in kH/s) per watt, that puts Nvidia way out ahead of AMD. Today, four GM107-based cards in a mining rig should be able to outperform a Radeon R9 290X for less money, using less power.

The good thing is that I can take it as a challenge to make a better miner - using CUDA + 750ti
Anybody interested in testing ?

Im interested and i have 4 Nvidia 750 ti .

hi - re - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=548230.msg6055845#msg6055845
... miner is not ready yet - work in progress. What operating system do you use please ?

Im use win 7 64 bit .

Ready to test on (10x) 7970, (10x) 280X, (10x) 270X and (2x) 290X.

I am afraid you lost me with above guide. Why would I want to import some private key into my existing Qt account? and if so - for which address? I already got there 5 of them created and my question was mainly related to why the blocks found (respectively their balance) are being added to different already existing addresses AND based on what rule these are added to those specific addresses?

sorry,the show has ended

Yep i had same problem re-indexing takes for ever lol good idea to back-up the blockchain once u full synced.

We are in talks with a pool.

Great news! so please make it! it's a vital for most of us, for this coin and community! And f*ck the botnets...
