Open Source XPM (Primecoin) GPU Miner & Pool xpmforall.org

[ap1]

just to save ur asses from gettin rekt .. the reason primecoin is pumping is because rhett creighton (zclassic/bitcoin private) announced he was going to do another pump n dump -- Bitcoin Prime which will be forked off primecoin ,.. so watch his twitter plus the new bitcoin prime new twitter page.. as soon as it forks dump primecoin, because everybodys gonna dump after it forks for Bitcoin prime.. he did with bitcoin private.. went to 50$ and dumped .. so hes off the team now, and now decided to do another coin.

I agree that the 4 fold jumping in price was surely due to BTC Prime announcement but there is something not making perfect sense.

I have been mining Primecoin (intermittently depending on profit) since mad had created the miner and merged with eXtremal's because it was the only coin that is still profitable with those older cards even till early 2018. But Primecoin's mining difficulty got pass 11 in Mar and old cards will not get any profit at all, so these must be new miners. Even if someone wants to get XPM for price speculation, there is no need (and too inefficient) to join the mining as one can just simply buy from the exchange.

So attention to XPM was already started in Mar well before Rhett's announcement. Of course it can be simply two quite independent events. Miners switched to XPM  in Mar might simply due to be being more profitable than ETH but not really that much profitable before the pump in price and I doubt XPM was having much attention to them anyway.

Anyway price vs mining difficulty is always a function of each other. If the price drops later, the difficulty will follow.

You must check your VRM temperature as well as there are complaints about heating.

Hi @eXtremal
is there any progress with the cuda miner ? I`m very excited about the stuff !

+1 we really need the optmized CUDA miner!!

Windows version: http://coinsforall.io/distr/xpmclient-cuda-win64.tar.gz
It's usable (1-3% CPU load per one video card, you can use Celeron with 6 and more NVidia cards), but linux version still faster up to 5%, need more research to optimize miner for Windows.

Thanks for the reply, good work with the miner pulling out

Work received: height=2649627 diff=11.763103 latency=64ms
[GPU 0] T=-1C A=-1% E=0 primes=0.108455 fermat=151145/sec cpd=0.32/day

equal to
XPM per day: 0.600
BTC per day: 0.0002
USD per day: 1.910

but its moreover the same as with 10.2.2 beta

With one cpu no difference except CPU load around 0%.
What card you use?
With 390.xx drivers I got 0.37 CPD on 1070 and 0.46 CPD on 1070Ti.

[MidoriX]

390.xx drivers 1070 non Ti currently running on 85% tdp as I`m mining something else, it was just quick test with 100% tdp the results will be the same

TDP 85% , Core +150 Mem +500
Could you help me and write how you make that?

Almost the same. The problem is the mining software still not optimized for the CUDA cards

Thank you for your work, for me it is much faster than the previous version.

1070 - 0.30

This miner is same as "old one" ,yes CPU load is less, but speed of mining itself is same.

[ruplikminer]

CUDA miner we need a CUDA miner!!!!!!!!!

go, elektronium dig. 
ps In a couple of weeks, 700 miners will remain on the pool again. I hope so. :

Ok, now give us same screenshot with "old , UN-optimized " version of miner on same rig: to see difference.

[Mohammedanjum]

Here are my results:

2x1080ti, Windows 10, drivers=397.31
yesterday i was avg 0.5-0.54 cpd per card
today is about 0.56-0.6cpd per card
about a 10% improvement.
