Does it matter which one of the 3 servers I connect to?

Is it better to connect to one with more workers and more blocks found?

mattle74 · November 1, 2013, 6:35am

Not sure about the new miner. I’ve been mining at ypool since beeeer and rpool went down. jhprimeminer has been consistently finding 7 and 8 chains on my miners. I just ran the new beeeeer miner for 2 and a half hours on multiple miners and all it’s finding is a relatively smaller amount of 7 chains. I fired jhprimeminer back up on one computer and within 10 minutes it found 3 7 chains and 1 8 chain. I know there’s a luck component here but I’m still concerned.

ivanlabrie · November 1, 2013, 7:01am

That’s because that miner is tweaked for more lower chain finding, probably…not towards actually finding blocks.

mattle74 · November 1, 2013, 7:24am

I don’t think that’s true anymore, especially of the more recent releases by Aero and rdebourbon. ypool also actually requires that you set your sieve target depth to at least 9 (or whatever the current diff is) or else they will reject your shares.

Thanks for following up on this. I pointed my computers back at beeeeer partially to run a longer sample and mostly because I love beeeeer so much. With -TargetInitialLength=9, I seem to be finding more 7 chains but still haven’t hit an 8 chain in over 90 minutes. The nice thing is that all of the chains have been accepted shares so the reject rate seems greatly improved.

Thanks a lot for getting the the pool back Xolokram. Its really appreciated.

I noticed I was able to get twice(2) the primes/s with windows with jhprimeminer when i used it for both windows and linux (via wine). Do you think using the getblocktemplate would account for the difference in performance ?

xolokram · November 1, 2013, 9:11am

aaaah, it’s this topic again. while jhPrimeminer counts every iteration of their prime search as “prime per second”, mikaelh’s & thus my miner counts only iterations that actually found at least one prime.

see…

line

primeStats.primeChainsFound++;

here: https://github.com/rdebourbon/jhPrimeminer/blob/master/src/primecoinMiner/prime.cpp#L932

&

lines

if(TargetGetLength(nProbableChainLength) >= 1) nPrimesHit++;
here: https://github.com/thbaumbach/primecoin/blob/master/src/prime.cpp#L802

that means: rdebourbon’s PPS & mikaelh’s PPS is not the same measure! we had this “issue” already a few weeks ago.
and the fact that my counter doesn’t increment if a submittable share has been found. i should change that <-- TODO for xolokram

xolokram

ps. there’s also a “nPrimesHit++;” line in rdebourbon’s code, but that variable is never used, they use the “primeChainsFound” variable for the stats…
pps. jh00/rdebourbon/etc.pp., correct me if i’m wrong - i’ve not fully checked the code or tested it

Silver_Pharaoh · November 1, 2013, 1:29pm

@xolokram

What cpu instruction does your miner use? SSE 1,2,3,4? AVX? (-that would be nice since I’ve got Intel i5)

Just wondering because the miner crashes on my old computers without any SSE instructions…

Just curious.

[quote=“xolokram, post:199, topic:358”]argh this damn chrono lib

i hope i don’t confuse the issue.

either you install the latest boost version manual to your linux system.
or you remove the following line from the makefile.unix & compile again:

   -l boost_chrono$(BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX) \

I have same issue.
Removing this line have affect on miner performance?

xolokram · November 1, 2013, 2:54pm

nope @Grekk

Hey Xolo I’m trying to get this installed on a 256mb machine but I’m getting this error

Sometimes it just crashes. I tried what you put early about low memory machines but got the same results. Anything new to try since then?

This is a known problem with low RAM available. Answer can be found here: PPCoin: How to Compile on Ubuntu 12.04

Let me quote it:

Q. I receive internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus) Code:
g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus) Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.6/README.Bugs> for instructions.

A. Type “dmesg”,
Code:

[ 1377.575785] Out of memory: Kill process 12305 (cc1plus) score 905 or sacrifice child [ 1377.575800] Killed process 12305 (cc1plus) total-vm:579928kB, anon-rss:546144kB, file-rss:0kB

If you see output like this, your machine does not have enough memory to compile. You can fix this by adding more swap. To add a 1gb swap file, in /swapfile:

Code:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16 sudo mkswap /swapfile sudo swapon /swapfile

After compiling, you may wish to

Code:

sudo swapoff /swapfile sudo rm /swapfile

I had the same issue with low available memory. Adding swap fixed this.

Using the new miner on my mum’s laptop doesn’t work.

It just keeps saying:

connecting to 176.34.128.129:1337

I have disabled the firewall and tried the other pool addresses, but no luck.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

urubu · November 2, 2013, 10:24pm

Does anyone know of a guide to getting this to run on bamt?

qh1 · November 3, 2013, 5:04am

bamt is based on debian, just use this guide: https://github.com/donSchoe/xolominer/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md#dependency-build-instructions-ubuntu--debian

guys can some one help me out im having issue i can install it on ubuntu 12.04 dont know where to start and if i try to use wine i gte errors please help me out can some one make a quick video please

How do the miner stats work. Is chains/d an overall stat or per core?
