i have to move to Claymore miner since its the only miner that accept catalyst 13.12 and those drivers are the only one who will work on 6 x GPU at same board.
Well, I'm not sure it's more profitable to mine on 6 280x's with Claymore's than on 5 cards with our miner.

Your miner is more tuned for the 280x than the other miner. I'm hoping soon you will have the pool version, because the miner seems really stable with AMD drivers 14.3 and 14.4. The other miner only supports 13.12.

sorry for posting a lil bit off-topic, but I would like to calculate how long it will take to find a block based on my chains per day and actual difficulty.
Till now I have been using following calculator http://anty.info/primecoin-calculator/, but it appears to stop working sometime within last 24 hours.
Can anyone advise another option?

I have seen that but as best I could tell it was not performing any better than CPU mining if you could even get it to run?

That's not true. Do your own search on this forum.

today i installed the 6 x R9 280x on my H81 BTC Pro, and the last  video card have problems. PrimeGPU is it possible your next GPU miner could be compatible with Catalyst 13.12 as its the only moded catalyst driver available that will support 6 x GPUs on the same board

I run the free version. Just downloaded and started the .bat file. Is that all to it? It is running by the looks of it. Anyway, how do I see the number of connections on the wallet, because I cannot have the wallet running at the same time right? (It asked me to close the wallet when I tried to start it the first time).

More technical. How does the miner know how to connect to the rcp-port? I have a custom user/pass combo. And how does it know to what address in the wallet to put the block money? Nothing in the bat-file points to rcp/wallet/me.
Wallet-handling code is the same as in hp11 miner, so I just don't really know the details.

Did I miss something and am I mining so my eventual block will be gone forever?
A new adrress will be created in your wallet, and XPMs will be there. There is nothing in your setup that prompts losing the block.

any new version with speed increase?
In 2-3 days.

Also wnat to know if the cpd times we are getting depends on the 7ch?
We caclulate CPD based on 1ch values. Basing it on 7ch gives much more fluctuations.


thanks,
i am trying to compare yours and claymore miner. his latest gives almost 4 cpd with my 290s but he says his cpd depends on the 7ch.And with his miner i use 960-970 watts ,yours use 70-800 watts from the wall .Depending on his 4cpd per 7ch ,can we say his miner faster than yours?
Ours is optimized for 280x. Pretty sure it's faster than Claymore's at least on these cards.
Are your cards 290 or 290x?

3rd orphaned block found... 3 in a row... is this unluck or something else? 2 x block orphaned with version 2.00 + 1 x block orphaned with 2.02 right after the other two
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you have only 8 connections on a wallet at any given time. If you are really lucky 9? if so then i think your problem may lay with you needing to forward ports from your router..

Run a proper client (official client) and tell us how many connections it says you have after 2 hours of running it please and we can prolly help you with the rest if you do only have 8 connections.

You must however have access to the router in some way because if you are getting orphans you may need to forward ports to get way more connections or add some nodes in your Primecoin.conf to communicate with because sub par Internet i'snt really a huge factor in orphans as long as when you finally broadcast the block to your circle of connections that they distribute it fast. Also with only 8 connections your chance of it being fast is limited greatly.

im having 8 connections only, i cant have access to my router cause the admin access is blocked by my ISP and only them can remotelly access it thru cable. I have a LAN connection right straight from my ISP DSL router

Yer so ok i'm pretty sure i'm right mate but i don't quite understand how you cant access the last router in your house that connects to the outside world but if you cant then i would suggest using claymores miner
untill this one has a pool for it because you are going to lose a serious amount of blocks with only 8 connections.

Trust me for a day and try it and you will see how many blocks you find for the ypool because it has a lot of connections but your solo will not with only 8 connections does that make sense buddy?

If you do have access to the last router in your house that connects to the outside world then Google port forwarding and forward the Primecoin ports 9911, 9912 i'm pretty sure that will allow you to get way more connections mate

If this helps anyone else please let us know so i know i'm on the right track.
