Howdee folks! After installing PrimeCoin and running it, I found that I'm not getting any info (PPS) within the console window. Any thoughts? Cores are blazing away so I know its doing something. Thanks

Topic: How to mine PrimeCoin Mini-Guide (Read 13519 times)
Hey guys I'm trying to solomine xpm for the first time. And after I launch qt I've got my CPU running at 100% BUT getmininginfo shows primespersec is 0. My CPU - Core i7 2600K overclocked. How can I ensure that I'm mining?

I was trying to mine at pools and still console shows 0.0 stats but looks like pool receive my shares...

i bumped into the noblockchain avaible shit. u just hav to manualy add nodes
thanks
For some reason the primecoin qt client says no block source available and wont download the blockchain so i can get started. I changed the ports on my router and still no luck. Anyone else encounter this and have a solution?
Somebody mentioned optimization of the miner. Does anyone have detailed directions how to get primecoin-qt.exe on Windows, optimized? Thanks
Honestly, I just made a linux VM (within Windows, Virtualbox) to run it until windows binaries are updated.PPS went from 120 to ~620, even though it's in VM.
I threw in the genproclimit=6 on my 8 core CPU so the GPU mining is not reduced:
primecoin.conf file
rpcuser=****username***
rpcpassword=****password***
rpcport=***any port(mine is 8001)****
gen=1
genproclimit=6

Heres how to mine primecoin in a few simple steps
1. Download the precompiled binaries or do a git clone and compile your own executables like how would be done to litecoin.
2 visit the appdata folder
Windows: press the windows key and R. After this type %appdata% and make a folder called primecoin. In this folder create the primecoin.conf file shown below.
Linux: visit the users home folder and press control and h to show hidden files. create a folder called primecoin and create primecoin.conf in that folder
primecoin.conf file
rpcuser=****username***
rpcpassword=****password***
rpcport=***any port(mine is 8001)****
gen=1

I created the primcoin.conf file in my primecoin folder (Just pasted stuff into notepad and saved in already existing primecoin folder from wallet installation).
Not sure what to put for rpcuser and rpc password. Also Not sure what to do after file is created.
I'm a complete novice at mining so any additional steps would be helpful.
Once it's saved, this is the file that your client uses for its settings. Just start up your client and it will now mine (because of the gen=1 line in the .conf), that's it!
Type "getmininginfo" into the Console (help>>Debug Window>>Console) If it says "generate" : true, and "primespersec" : something it is working.

I have Primecoin running full load on the CPU and GUIminer running full load on the GPU's. I did have a couple of computers restart yesterday doing this, no problems in the last 24 hours with the computer fans all cranked up.
hi to all 
then primecoin works just with cpu or with gpu too?
Im confused

Im confused
will there be a mac os x client in near future?

Thanks! This helped out. I disabled one of my 8 cores and cgminer is running at full speed!
If I have and I7 3770K and also a GPU 7970. Could I run the Primecoin miner and also cgminer? One mining primecoin and cgminer mining another Alt Coin?
Yes, though one may throttle the other. My general rule on my rigs is to mine with your CPU cores - 1. If you have 4 cores, mine with 3. It'll keep your cgminer chugging along at full (or near full) speed and you'll still be able to mine with the CPU.Heres how to mine primecoin in a few simple steps

I'm mining LTC with Guiminer-Scrypt and Primecoins with qt on the CPU. 2 Days now and still no problems.
