I have a few computers mining -- am I able to have all rewards mature in one wallet, or do I have to wait for them before consolidating?

I think you need to wait for them to mature before you can move them to a different wallet.
A different client (which does not exist yet as far as I know) might generate addresses deterministically starting from a seed, enabling you to access funds from any client that started at the same seed.
(see https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Deterministic_wallet)

primecoin.conf file
rpcuser=****username***
rpcpassword=****password***
rpcport=***any port(mine is 8001)****
gen=1

Prolly a dumb question, but are the first 3 lines necessary and does it matter what I put for user and pass, are those same ones used somewhere else? Thanks.

The port isn't required, but recommended so you can check what port it is at a later time. If you don't specify one, it'll use the default port number of the coin and you may have to look it up.
The username/password can be reused (honestly, I copy/paste settings from different coins for solidarity, still should be secure, though)

How do I get other machines mining via my main wallet? I am a bit new to wallet console mining.

Are there already gpu's mining PrimeCoin?

If not, will there be any way to tell for sure that they've started and it's pointless to mine with cpu? Will it be just when a cpu can't get a block in however many days?

You'll have to restart primecoind to accept the changed conf, so run ./primecoind stop and then ./primecoind to start it again and then ./primecoind getinfo.

phew~ got it working,
THanks,

After I setup the primecoin.conf in Linux, I run with primecoind -daemon

I got this:

Code:

Error: Cannot obtain a lock on data directory /home/ubuntu/.primecoin. Primecoin is probably already running.

Then, primecoind getinfo

Code:

Error:: command not found

Just reboot, should take care of it

How can I be sure that it's actually mining? Just by all the cores being at 100%, or the debug window, or some other way? Thanks.

it seems like the easiest way is the first one you mentioned, all of the cores at 100% via task manager. You can also go into debug window and type gethashespersec and if it's higher than 0 you're mining.

so what's the difference between running primecoind vs. primecoin.exe itself and mining through it with setgenerate true command? Just you not having to type setgenerate true every time you want to mine?

Yes, essentially. You can use setgenerate with either, it's just more convenient to throw it in the conf file and forget about it.

if you set it in primecoin.conf you should add:
gen=1
instead.
setgenerate is a console command only.

What do you call a fish with no eyes? A Fsh!

Hmm. I'm going to put a good CPU in my next rig.
