why i need run bat 10-20x before i can normal start mining - couse usual just blackscreen, & cpu load & notjing show on screen?why this happening?

Make sure you updated the blockchain using the official primecoin wallet prior to running the miner.
If you didn't - the miner updates the blockchain itself, but it doesn't report anything about it, hense the blackscreen.
This behaviour is not user-friendly - will be fixed in the next version.

whats the difference between -cardtype=4 and -cardtype=1

This option specifies what card type the miner should select optimization for.
-cardtype=1 280x / 7970 / 7990
-cardtype=2 280 / 7950
-cardtype=3 270 / 270x / 7870
-cardtype=4 290
-cardtype=5 265 / 7850
Note: there is no specific option for 290x right now

thanks

There are 2 wallet the machine, one is in the D:\ is a c: "appdata"
Because of the uncertain program to read that wallet therefore I did not delete! Will be the question of where?

Don't delete it - rename it, so that you can restore it. The one in %AppData%\Roaming\Primecoin is the active one.

GPU load of the new version on my machine is still 88%-93% generally, far from 99%...

What's your setup and CPU load?

I see now that it is 99% on cpuusage 8. CPU load is less than 10%.
On cpuusage 9, it's never more than 93%, CPU load average is around 50%. CPD values seem to be about the same for both settings 8 and 9. Using cardtype=1.

Today 2 times! What is the problem?

I've never seen this one before.

These links look related to the issue:

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=505.0

I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like your best option would be to restore wallet.dat from a backup.
If not possible, send all the money to another wallet (e.g. on other computer) and create a new wallet.

prime can you reupload with proper binary? i also get the error below when i use from 2.04 folder... so for now i'm using client from older version and i suppose it's ok?

Yes, it should have been the same file. So it's completely ok to use it from a previous version.

Will this next version have a pool option?

We have some progress in this direction, but I'm not sure about the next version.

Quote from: SpeedDemon13 on April 29, 2014, 05:10:51 PM

Is the default -cpuusage=6?

Yep.

Quote from: SpeedDemon13 on April 29, 2014, 05:10:51 PM

In the future, will there include hardware stats, ie. temp, clock speed, etc...

It's in the todo list, but with low priority.

I get an error run the primegpu.exe and have to use the one from the v2.00 to get it working.

What kind of an error? I was under impression that it's exactly the same file as in 2.00.

Same error as Pinocchio get's that is shown below. Maybe just a bad file and needs to be re-uploaded.

Quote from: Pinocchio on April 29, 2014, 07:19:00 PM

Same here. When primegpu.exe from the latest paid version is run, the following error occurs:

"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."

GPU load of the new version on my machine is still 88%-93% generally, far from 99%...

Sweet spot for -cpuusage is between 6 to 8, since now the miner uses 99% of the gpu now.

I get an error as well if I use the primegpu file in 2.02. Also, CPU usage seems to be lower than previous versions at the same usage setting.

Cpu usage doesn't seem to make sense

i7 4930k w/ 3x290x usage seems to be at:
15-20% at cpuusage 7 =9.4 cpd
15-20% at cpuusage 8 =9.3 cpd
95-100% at cpuusage 9 =7.5cpd

Other computer 1366 xeon w 4core/4threads with 4 gpus
cpu usage 7 =60%
