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

[SpeedDemon13]

not to sound as a jerk, but for a licensed software, I didn't see any update for a very long long time

Claymore had the time to put at least 3 update in the time... and other open source (non xpm one which allows to run on many algos) softwares
have mostly constant update.

Funny that people working for free do more work than those who are paid for...

Claymore has already got several times more XPMs than PrimeGPU...
And also he introduced his miner when it was rather slow so his updates were quite expectable.

I do not know much about other mentioned software to comment it.

Unfortunately we need to spend some time on pool-related issues. That is why the next version was postponed a bit.
It will be released however in 1-2 days.

What pool or pools are you going to use the pool version of the miner? Hopefully not ypool and hopefully beeeeer.

Sounds good and this only will offer for paid customer right?

As for the price reduction - we did it when the difficulty reached 10.7.

When I got the email with the miner.key info, difficulty was already 10.7 (April 15th). I couldn't have possibly started mining before that date, even though I paid on the 14th.
I bet I'm not the only one...

Im giving a try again on XPM mining... but i have a question... my GPU usage % drops and get back to 85% - 90% is that normal?

Yes thats normal. Mine does the same thing.

Running the miner for 48 hours and haven't got a 10-ch and/or block. Seems like solo mining is getting tougher now that the diff is at 10.8.

Same here.. I thought there was a problem with my miner..

The "expected" numbers seem to be pretty close.  I usually seem to be pretty close lately. Use those to determine whether you should have found a block.  I would be curious whether those complaining about not getting blocks have mined until the expected is over 1.000?

Haven't found a block in a week now. Restarted my miner in between and now have: 10 chains: 2 (5 expected), blocks: 0 (1 expected). So a pool would be nice. Will mine something else until the pool is up.

i mined till the numbers were 2.8 and got 1 block after 36 hours

same, i was planning to purchase more lisences for my other GPUs, but untill i dont see good numbers no point to waste money on something wont be profitable

[csa1234]

gonna try Claymore miner, will try there, if its not profitable as www.manicminer.in ill cancel XPM mining

We have released a new version 1.04 of PrimeGPU.

What's new:

- 30%+ speed-up for 280x's. Up-to 80% speed-up for low-end-CPU rigs;

- lower CPU requirements, same speed for '-cpuusage' option with values of 1..8;

- optimization for 290 and 7950 (separate versions of mining server are available on the first page, default version is optimized for 280x);

Note: Catalyst 14.3+ is required for this version of the miner.

We are in talks with several pools. You are right about ypool. One of our goals is to diverse the mining process. Currently ypool has more than 50% that is not so good for Primecoin.

New version is free for existing customers and available for purchasing for anybody.

Pool mining is not ready yet... preparation is in progress. There will be some extra dev. fee there.

Please PM me your email address used in registration. When we reduced the price we offered small payback for everybody who bought the miner during last 2 days before the price reduction.

[gpools]

hmm my pool can add dev fee . contact me.

[drozenski]

Thanks for the update.

Went from 1.75 CPD to 1.93


I know you are working with a pool. Can you share what pool you are working with?

You mean there will be dev fee even if you paid licenses?
