@cppsrb:
yes, the value of a share will not change, it is saved in the sharelog too.

@connection:
it looks like you’re losing your connection to the server. several times. this looks really messed up. normally the miner will retry to send shares, but from what i see your connection loss takes too long, this would probably end in rejected shared as they are mined on old block/work.

Hmm… I think I will compile it from source again when I get some time. I didn’t mention that pressing ctrl+c causes segmentation fault right after the stats box. Something may be wrong in other places…

aasimar · December 12, 2013, 3:17pm

I have two questions.

How to build linux binaries which i will be able to upload and instantly run on host? (e.g. without external dependencies, i suggest it should be possible to place all needed libs in same folder or something)
is there any way to change number of threads used in runtime, or i need to stop and start miner with other params?

[quote=“neonetgen, post:1459, topic:342”][quote=“proj3ct, post:1456, topic:342”][quote=“neonetgen, post:1451, topic:342”]I cant seem to get my prime miner to work.

primeminer -pooluser=AVLaYiqFrobxE6m2UWufb3dVNdjHd9Qqbs -poolip=54.200.248.75 -poolport=1337 -genproclimit=2

I go to run the miner… a black CMD screen pops up then dies immediately… am i doing something wrong?[/quote]

You’re running it on windows, but you’re using the command for linux.

[code]primeminer_x64.exe -pooluser=AVLaYiqFrobxE6m2UWufb3dVNdjHd9Qqbs -poolip=54.200.248.75 -poolport=1337 -genproclimit=2

or

primeminer_x32.exe -pooluser=AVLaYiqFrobxE6m2UWufb3dVNdjHd9Qqbs -poolip=54.200.248.75 -poolport=1337 -genproclimit=2
[/code]

The important part is the _x64.exe or _x32.exe[/quote]

I am using the x64 version. I have winblows 7 64 bit on an AMD FX 4100. I copy and pasted what you said and the box still did the same thing.
I am able to use the other Jminer just fine. Im not totally sure if it is mining. I turn it on the screen stays and it shows clearing blocks. Im just a bit scared to leave it running my Cores @100% since this is my only machine.

I appreciate your feedback[/quote]

Is the batch file in the same folder as the primeminer executable?

And as others have said, run it from command prompt so you can see the error. The easiest way to do that is to open a command window, drag and drop the batch file into it, and hit enter. It will attempt to run the batch file, and if it fails, it will remain open and display the error message.

Let us know what the error message says

[quote=“xolokram, post:1460, topic:342”]@thecoloredsky:
that’s a 7-chain share (‘smallest’ possible share), worth about 0.0014 XPM
payout is executed at 3.01 XPM automatically, it takes some time

xolokram[/quote]

Thanks Xolo. One more question. I am running a second laptop pointed at the same XPM address on the same house network. I just got this failed submission - can you identify why this happened or is this a common occurrence? Thanks!

Hello I’m new! I just started mining primecoins, just tried the ypool, and I thought i should give this pool a try also. First of all, am I mining right?

I know bitcoin very well, but I just started to learn about this other alt-coins today, I understand that theres no hash power here, so the “power” would be measured in chains right? or how is it? how do I know how much power do I have with my cpu, and how much can I mine per day with it? (i have a i5 2500k stock clock)
How long should I expect to receive the 3 XPM in my wallet with my current “chain power”?

Every answer will be greatly apprecciated =)

neonetgen · December 13, 2013, 5:26am

I got it working. You guys are awesome thank you for helping me out.

With those speeds expect 3 coins in 5-7 days depending on luck

forix · December 13, 2013, 3:59pm

Any idea how to bypass the 32core limit and make use of all my CPU cores?

ulkas · December 13, 2013, 4:31pm

run the miner 2 times as 2 separate process, each with genproclimit=32. give the second execution some time (~1min) before you will launch it, so you the first 32 cores will be already at max and the latter process will pick up the another 32 cores to compute from.

Silver_Pharaoh · December 13, 2013, 6:48pm

@Xolokram

How’s it going?
Anyway, I stopped mining PTS, I can’t make much profit with the difficulty now. So I switched back to XPM, and here’s the new issue:

Remember my PTS miner issue? (not submitting shares) Well, your Xolominver v0.8 does the same now too!
It’s never done this before either.

I’m just letting you know that’s all. I’m using my dirty PTS miner fix for the XPM miner now so all is good.
Weird though eh?

Keep up the sweeeeet pool Xolo! Good job on it too I must say.

welcome.

What kind of hardware & infrastructure you deploy, and what bandwidth usage you have operating the pool?

Kind of blunt, I know. But I am very curious

How to compile xolokram’s primeminer for Mac OS X Mavericks (using homebrew)

A lot of this I discovered while I was compiling primecoind, but the procedure is basically the same (and even more tedious!)

This assumes you have XCode with CLI tools installed

Install Homebrew

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go/install)"

Install dependencies

brew install berkeley-db4 boost gmp miniupnpc openssl

Modify path (for some reason openssl will not relink otherwise)

touch ~/.bash_profile
echo "export PATH=\"/usr/local/bin:\$PATH\"" >> ~/.bash_profile

Link libraries

brew link openssl --force
brew link berkeley-db4 --force

Download the git repository:

git clone https://github.com/thbaumbach/primecoin.git

Switch to the source directory

cd ./primecoin/src

Modify the makefile.osx file

A. CHANGE the following line (should be very close to the top) from:

DEPSDIR=/opt/local

to:

DEPSDIR=/usr/local

B. CHANGE the following line from:

  -L"$(DEPSDIR)/lib/db48"

to:

  -L"$(DEPSDIR)/Cellar/berkeley-db4/4.8.30/lib"

C. REMOVE the following line:

	obj/init.o \

D. CHANGE the following block from:

primecoind: $(OBJS:obj/%=obj/%)
	$(CXX) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $(LIBPATHS) $^ $(LIBS)

to:

primeminer: $(OBJS:obj/%=obj/%) obj/main_poolminer.o
	$(CXX) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $(LIBPATHS) $^ $(LIBS)

Modify the serial.h file

A. REMOVE the following lines (should be around line 900 or so):

     void insert(iterator it, const_iterator first, const_iterator last)
     {
         assert(last - first >= 0);
         if (it == vch.begin() + nReadPos && (unsigned int)(last - first) <= nReadPos)
         {
             // special case for inserting at the front when there's room
             nReadPos -= (last - first);
             memcpy(&vch[nReadPos], &first[0], last - first);
         }
         else
             vch.insert(it, first, last);
     }

Modify the main_poolminer.cpp file

A. REMOVE the following lines:

#if defined(__MINGW32__) || defined(__MINGW64__)

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <windows.h>

BOOL WINAPI ctrl_handler(DWORD dwCtrlType) {
	//'special' cleanup for windows
	switch(dwCtrlType) {
		case CTRL_C_EVENT:
		case CTRL_BREAK_EVENT: {
			if (socket_to_server != NULL) {
				socket_to_server->close();
				socket_to_server = NULL;
			}
			stats_on_exit();
			running = false;
		} break;
		default: break;
	}
	return FALSE;
}

#elif defined(__GNUG__)

static sighandler_t set_signal_handler (int signum, sighandler_t signalhandler) {
   struct sigaction new_sig, old_sig;
   new_sig.sa_handler = signalhandler;
   sigemptyset (&new_sig.sa_mask);
   new_sig.sa_flags = SA_RESTART;
   if (sigaction (signum, &new_sig, &old_sig) < 0)
      return SIG_ERR;
   return old_sig.sa_handler;
}

void ctrl_handler(int signum) {
	exit(1);
}

#endif //TODO: __APPLE__ ?

B. REMOVE the following lines:

#if defined(__MINGW32__) || defined(__MINGW64__)
  SetConsoleCtrlHandler(ctrl_handler, TRUE);
#elif defined(__GNUG__)
  set_signal_handler(SIGINT, ctrl_handler);
#endif //TODO: __APPLE__

Compile primeminer

make -f makefile.osx primeminer

That should do it! To run primeminer, you can run the command (just an example):

./primeminer -pooluser=AY7fAWEsYbz1MisFfHdiJn2m61CSJNeywC -poolip=54.200.248.75 -poolport=1337 -genproclimit=4

My 2.8Ghz quad core nehalem is currently getting the following stats:

[STATS] 2013-12-13 23:05:19 |  519 primes/s, 8398 tests/s,    0 5-chains/h, 0.220 chains/d
[STATS] 2013-12-13 23:06:19 |  468 primes/s, 7398 tests/s,  180 5-chains/h, 0.216 chains/d
[STATS] 2013-12-13 23:07:19 |  486 primes/s, 7742 tests/s,  360 5-chains/h, 0.224 chains/d

Hope this helps!

Tips are always welcome

0.22 chains/day is awfully slow for a quad core 2.8 Ghz nehalhem, a 2.5 ghz core 2 quad for example gets around 0.87 chains/day.

Hey… i never have seen that submitted share line…a nd i been mining for days… I also only see the 5 chain… none of the rest… is that normal?

Im not sure if this looks right either… cuz there’s nothing in it and that “primespersec” number people talk about says 0

You are mining at ~1000 primes/s. Seems pretty normal to me. My VPS now goes well above ~4700 primes/s.
