Can't get miner to connect. I am running miner and wallet on same system, so no firewall issue. Followed instruction only thing I added was to encryption my wallet, not sure if that causes a problem. Pool mining works fine.

** Made new wallet with no encryption still same problem.

Your wallet data block updated? I guess that is the problem, because I'm updating data block, at present is also such a problem

[SpeedDemon13]

What's the ideal numbers for the sieve and fermat on solo mining?

To find the reasons for the user name and password of the problem, check it carefully! Before I check a lot of times did not find the user name and password set up a bit longer

[Claymore]

If you specified wrong login or password, you will see a message about it.
"Request to coin client failed: can reach client" error means different problem - miner cannot connect to wallet for some reason at all. Don't forget to copy "primecoin.conf" file from miner archive to "c:\Users\YourWindowsLogin\AppData\Roaming\Primecoin\" folder and restart the wallet.

One way to make this faster is to copy your existing wallet block data (not wallet.dat) to the new one.

and it looks like you shouldn't run your wallet and Claymore's wallet on the same system.

does claymores wallet need to be open for solo mining?

[hashfun]

does claymores wallet need to be open for solo mining?

Yes, wihtout this you not Get Block from server, and its must be synced.

thanks

is there anything i can do to improve my chances of finding a block, like adding nodes or anything?
i'm solo with a single 7950.

hit a block solo with this and 2 290x's within 8 hours

for those having "Request to coin client failed: can reach client" issue, make sure your client has already downloaded blockchain and fully synced. After that copy primecoin.conf from claymore's folder to yours under "/users/user/appdata/roaming/primcoin" or copy paste below exactly the way it is... you may get this error if your settings differ slightly from what you had them earlier, which is what happened to me... after updating primecoin.conf make sure to restart the client and try running solo again.

rpcuser=yourusername
rpcpassword=yourpassword
rpcallowip=*.*.*.*
rpcport=7332
server=1

my feedback so far: i'm getting CPD rates in the range of 1.7-1.8 for 7970 but that's because my rig is 4x7990s so that's 8 cores spread across i7-3770 and 1.7 to 2.0 for r9 290 cards spread across i5 4 cores... i find solo mining is still profitable considering claymore keeps improving his miner... as for ypool for some reason my coin yield is becoming a joke and payouts are just getting smaller, i don't know about you guys...

i just copied .conf file in to "/users/user/appdata/roaming/primecoin" still getting same error

do this

rpcuser= <-- make a single word as your user name
rpcpassword= <--- make a password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 <--- put that
rpcport=7332
server=1

example:
rpcuser=bobross
rpcpassword=itsyourownlittleword
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=7332
server=1

then in your bat file to start the miner

NsXpmMiner.exe -o 127.0.0.1:7332 -u bobross -p itsyourownlittleworld -xpm your xpm address -di 0 -ss 0 -t 4 -sd 1
pause

^ thats my config just the username and password are different



in other news, found a block 2hrs 17mins into mining on a single 7950.
lets just say i'm pretty happy!

OMG, luck attribute +200% !

[primer10]

Anyone knows if it is the same if I have 2 machines with 1x 280 each vs 1 machine with 2x 280, solo mining but the wallet is on a separate machine accessible remotely?

For the case of 2 machines with 1x 280 each, does it mean both machines are working on independent solution? As in the wallet would not function somewhat like a pool if there are multiple RPC clients connected to it?

yeah it doesnt work that way but u can either importprivkey to another wallet or use the same wallet.dat file on each rig that will at least keep all mined on 1 wallet

thanks it works now also as i read in the miners readme:

 It is very important to have a lot of connections in Primecoin wallet, otherwise you will have many orphaned blocks.
So if you have only 8 active connections, you need to allow incoming connections, check related topics about it.

you guys know how to increase this connection ?

[blackvoice]

Thats some good numbers

i'm thinking maybe this has to do with adding peers
did some searching and you can do a command called getpeerinfo
it will spit out a file that includes ip addresses

from that you take the ip addresses and format them like this in your config
addnode=210.44.211.16:9911
addnode=206.217.128.2:9911
addnode=144.76.194.77:9911

addnode=201.22.6.178:58306
addnode=220.82.236.221:55290

these are the peers i pulled.
if you have any others that i don't hit me with your list
