[quote=“theconsultant, post:40, topic:1048”]ami the only one who stopped mining?
i was doing fairly nicely on the monthly $20 option, until mining virtually stopped to a standstill, with 2 droplets at $20 it took me around 5 days to reach a balance of about 2.20 on beeeer with the payout being 3.01 i was loathed to abandon what i previously mined. i ramped up to the $80 droplet and it took about 4 days to get to past the 3.01 payout.

is everyone else still plugging away?[/quote]

I’m new to this and have been using one droplet at $20 on the XRamPool and have been mining for two weeks straight and have a balance of .86 primecoins mined over that two week period.

That seems pretty low. Am I doing this wrong? Or is this expected with the current level of difficulty.

Hello, I have followed this tutorial step by step by I have encountered 2 problems and I have no idea how to make this to work.
First problem is when I am trying to use make -f makefile.unix it takes a long time but at the end I get this:

g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.8/README.Bugs> for instructions.
make: *** [obj/db.o] Error 4

I tried to continue to the next steps and it workss fine untill the last command: tail -f /var/log/supervisor/primecoin.log I get this message:

root@kgaming:~# tail -f /var/log/supervisor/primecoin.log
tail: cannot open ‘/var/log/supervisor/primecoin.log’ for reading: No such file or directory

43

if you are getting an error on the first part, that would explain why the file doesn’t exist for the second error.

I had a similar problem and just reran everything and it worked. Also, what version of ubuntu did you select? I recommend 13.10 x64.

I’m testing 8cpus droplet (160$) but my info mining is:

0.077 chains per day? If I’m going to http://anty.info/primecoin-calculator/ and put 0.07, I have:

0.61806856 XPM = 0.00294819 BTC = 2.39 USD per 15.76 days

Is this correct? because I loss money with this :S

Yes on digital ocean the cheaper droplets are far more efficient that the larger options. Try running 8 $20 droplets and you will probably have double the chains/d

Primecoin + Cloud VPS Very Fast get XPM ;D ;D ;D ;D

Cloud VPS: http://bit.ly/1a7wmz0
Recommend the plans cpu 2 core with ram 2gb. Why Cloud VPS?? because it can use cpu to 100% and vps at here very fast

Pool: http://ypool.net

//////////// Command For Linux \\\\\\

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install yasm -y git make g++ build-essential libminiupnpc-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libboost-all-dev libdb++-dev libgmp-dev libssl-dev dos2unix
git clone https://github.com/tandyuk/jhPrimeminer.git
cd jhPrimeminer
make
sudo apt-get install -y screen
nano start_jhprimeminer
./jhprimeminer -o http://ypool.net:10034 -u USER.WORKER -p PASSWORD -t 2
chmod +x start_jhprimeminer
screen ./start_jhprimeminer

//////////// End Command For Linux \\\\\\

Good luck

A) Its not very fast it will take you a days on a $20 droplet to get a payout and will probably take you at least a month to make 10-20%ish profit depending on the price when you sell.

B) That miner software has not had an update in four months

Thanks!!![/quote]it can not find the file makefile.Unix, make sure u are in the correct src directory and try again.

Typing ls will list the files and directories in the current location u are in.

Then I must be a moron, because I get stuck at make -f makefile.unix . make cant find the makefile. Really annoying

52

I treid the dir command. but there was no makefile.unix present in the src directory

53

Same error. I suppose I’m in the right directory. It would be nice to get some help

P.S. Ubuntu 16.04.1 x64

P.S.S My screenshot file doesn’t want to be posted somehow, my directory is “~/primecoin/src” just like in the guide
