it will be a good idea for the miner to take a static xpm adress so we can trace our earnings easier

prime can you reupload with proper binary? i also get the error below when i use client from 2.04 folder... so for now i'm using client from previous versions and i suppose it's ok?

"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."

Also getting the same error. The only other version I have that runs is 1.04. Is there a difference? Also, when I run the 280x server bat from version 2.04, it still says version 2.02. Is this OK?

use the primegpu file from previous version should be a 16mb file that 1 is 12mb

There's no 2.04 version yet. The latest one is 2.02.

There's definitely some luck involved, but it also might be sub-par internet connection.
Anyway, it look's like we have some progress with a pool. Once ready, it should remedy your unluck.

will you continue solo mining support ?

great!,i found 5 blocks in less than 24 hours

you think Catalyst 14.4 wont be able to recognize 6 x GPU under Windows 8 with the motherboard ASRock H81 BTC Pro?

It'll probably find the 5th one, but not the 6th.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you have only 8 connections on a wallet at any given time. If you are really lucky 9? if so then i think your problem may lay with you needing to forward ports from your router..

Run a proper client (official client) and tell us how many connections it says you have after 2 hours of running it please and we can prolly help you with the rest if you do only have 8 connections.

You must however have access to the router in some way because if you are getting orphans you may need to forward ports to get way more connections or add some nodes in your Primecoin.conf to communicate with because sub par Internet i'snt really a huge factor in orphans as long as when you finally broadcast the block to your circle of connections that they distribute it fast. Also with only 8 connections your chance of it being fast is limited greatly.

Can you give us a hint at what pool you are working with at least? So if they require any registration or anything we can prepare?

This thread have a modified 13.12 version to detect all 6 x GPU but unfortunatelly your XPM miner only work with 14.3+ ... is there any other workarround?

im having 8 connections only, i cant have access to my router cause the admin access is blocked by my ISP and only them can remotelly access it thru cable. I have a LAN connection right straight from my ISP DSL router

I run the free version. Just downloaded and started the .bat file. Is that all to it? It is running by the looks of it. Anyway, how do I see the number of connections on the wallet, because I cannot have the wallet running at the same time right? (It asked me to close the wallet when I tried to start it the first time).

More technical. How does the miner know how to connect to the rcp-port? I have a custom user/pass combo. And how does it know to what address in the wallet to put the block money? Nothing in the bat-file points to rcp/wallet/me.

Did I miss something and am I mining so my eventual block will be gone forever?

Which pool are you going to use?

We would prefer to announce it when everything is set up.

any new version with speed increase?Also want to know if the cpd times we are getting depends on the 7ch?

[primeGPU]

any new version with speed increase?

In 2-3 days.

Also wnat to know if the cpd times we are getting depends on the 7ch?

We caclulate CPD based on 1ch values. Basing it on 7ch gives much more fluctuations.

thanks,
i am trying to compare yours and claymore miner. his latest gives almost 4 cpd with my 290s but he says his cpd depends on the 7ch.And with his miner i use 960-970 watts ,yours use 70-800 watts from the wall .Depending on his 4cpd per 7ch ,can we say his miner faster than yours?
