Claymore's XPM (PrimeCoin) GPU Miner v13.2

[olajos]

v13.0 is available:

- Improved speed by about 4% for all cards. Up to 14.3 CPD on non-overclocked 290X (Catalyst 13.12).
- Added version for Catalyst 14.x. Note this version can be slower by 1-3% than version for Catalyst 13.12.
- Added "Primecoin Profit Calculator" utility.

Hello

I am tested miners:

rig1:

14.7 rc1 driver
4x280x

with 12.2 version 36cpd
with 13.00 13.12 version 37.53 cpd
with 13.00 14.x version 37.44 cpd

rig2:

14.7 rc1 driver
3x290x

with 12.2 version 38.48 cpd
with 13.0 13.12 version 40.12 cpd
with 13.0 14.x version 39.8 cpd

Better to use 13.12 version even it i have 14.x drivers....

with 12.2 version 36cpd
with 13.00 13.12 version 37.53 cpd
with 13.00 14.x version 37.44 cpd

Thanks for results. My is 37.2 cpd (v.13, catalyst 14.7) vs 35.5 cpd (v.12, catalyst 14.7)
Details:
-rig 4x280x sapphire vapor (elpida), proc. amd x250 3.0ghz, 8gb ram
- -ss 3 and -m 2 mode
- core\memory clock: 1070\1550
This is better performance for my farm, maybe someone could give an advice: what is most important to oveclock, core or memory?

Core.  1550 is plenty on the ram.

I have also tested miner. And i am getting strange results. I have 16 r9 290 tri-x. I am mining over 48 hours. Even the miner says that i am getting around 12 CPD per day per 1 card, on the ypool real situation is totally different. For 48 hours i have mined total 133 coins, witch is 4 CPD per card. Can someone have the same thing or this is normal? It's very strange that i am getting 3 time less coins on the pool

Use "Primecoin Calculator" from latest miner. Diff=10.98, CPD = 12*16 = 192, calculator shows "blocks: 9.485, XPM: 78.594" per day, so 157 coins for 48 hours. Subtract dev and pool fees and you'll see that 133 coins is normal.

Ok. Thanks.

Hi All,

I had a problem about GPU Miner v13.0, on my rig1 (3 x 280x), I can on;y see the about 52x shares/h on ypool, but can't see the correct CPD or ch/h on itself, did anypne meet this issue before?
rig2 (2 x 280x) didn't have this issue. rig1 and rig2 almost the same beside the amount of graphic card. Catalyst:13.12, OS: windows 7 SP1 x64.

I restart rig1 and add parameter "-ss 2", the current CPD is normally.

Hello guys, I've been "offline" for quite a long time...
How is it going with mining (XPM for example), is it still profitable in terms of electricity bills?

How is profitability compared to X11 coins\multipools?

Thanks and happy mining)

I think the new miner is melting my psu cables . I already downgraded voltage for cards,only miner client I changed from version 12.

And i have noticed that my cards run a bit hot. Is this is normal?

Heya Claymore! What about next version with reducing fee to 2,5% ?

Heya Claymore! What about next version with reducing fee to 2,5% ?

I will reduce fee in future, but not right now. Right now there is "nofee" mode or alternative miners if you don't like current fee.

[a1binos]

-ee option will work for this miner?
I have problems with your miner connecing a pool: every 3 hours my internet connection is broken for 1 minute(auto-restart for stability reason) after that about 20% miners didn't recconect to the pool and trying infinitly to connect. If I manually close miner and start it again - all ok, mining resumes. There is some bug in your network connect algoritm.

The problem is not in network connection algorithm, the problem is that if you use some modem, any application can lose internet connection forever sometimes if you drop internet connection and then restore it. I saw this problem several years ago, but now I cannot reproduce it since I have connection over LAN and disabling/enabling network card does not cause any problems.
The only thing I can do is auto-restart miner after several unsuccessful connection attempts.
What kind of internet connection do you have? Also PM me messages that miner shows.

1 more question : i saw the unconfirm coins are slowing down after 2 or 3 days mining,then if i close the miner and re-open it again,the unconfirm status show the number increasing.

[a1binos]

What kind of internet connection do you have? Also PM me messages that miner shows.

3G modem + router
But cgminer for example works fine. The message I'll send you in a few days(mining another algorithm right now)

[adaseb]

Can someone here with a 270X comment on the power consumption?

is it like scrypt or x11?

[a1binos]

This kind of message. Cgminer, sgminer works fine! Internet connection is 3G modem + router, modem&router auto power off and on every 6 hours for 1 minute.

rig2:

It is OK? Or could be better?
