Wow. What's you hardware (GPU/CPU)?
What version of Catalyst do you have?

I have a brand new ASUS R9280X-DC2T-3GD5
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121803

OC Settings are

GPU Core 1196
GPU Voltage 1182
Mem 6900
Power target 110%
55% fan speed
Rock solid at 73C

My CPU is a I7 4770K

I am using the -CPU=9 flag. 20% cpu usage.

Cat 13.9 Drivers

Is that a beta driver or the driver that came with the cd with the graphics card?

That's pretty high for gpu mem clocks.

What cpuusage you use? 9 or 11?

With two cards on the G3220 i use 5, with 5-6 cards it is all the way down to 2

Can't use 9 or 11 unless you have a power GPU like a Core i7

I got been running this miner on several rigs for the last couple days:

Pentium G3220
2 x HD7950

Primecoin GPU miner ver. 1.03
-----------------------------
Mining time: 25.89 hours
Est. Average Chains Per Day (CPD): 1.79
Est. Spot    Chains Per Day (CPD): 1.82

Pass: 28717
GPU #0   time: 316
GPU #1   time: 313

10-ch   found: 4         expected: 1.933
blocks  found: 2         expected: 0.824


Pentium G3220
5 x R9 280X

Primecoin GPU miner ver. 1.03
-----------------------------
Mining time: 8.94 hours
Est. Average Chains Per Day (CPD): 5.18
Est. Spot    Chains Per Day (CPD): 5.27

Pass: 11658
GPU #0   time: 266
GPU #1   time: 243
GPU #2   time: 243
GPU #3   time: 244
GPU #4   time: 241

10-ch   found: 4         expected: 1.927
blocks  found: 4         expected: 0.821


Considering that that most of the rigs have be held back by the weak CPU, i been pretty happy with the results so far. The 5 card one above has just been really lucky but even on the less luckier rigs they are averaging about  2-3 blocks per rig.

Half my rigs are running this Prime GPU miner and half are using Claymore's yPool one. Honestly, I been happy with both after around 3 days, this one is outperforming yPool but a factor of 2:1.  Can't wait to see what it can do after the next round of optimization. 

But ya, solo mining can test your patience especially when you go thru long periods of without finding any blocks.

primegpu, i'll fully support your decision whether you guys decide to go open source or not.. in fact long term i think you should keep this commercial in a good way so that this miner doesn't get abandoned and continues to be developed.. lack of funds is one of the main reasons why most of the cryptoprojects get abandoned... i think there's nothing wrong with having business model that is built on hard work and offers motivation to developers as well as better alternatives to cryptocommunity at the same time... i believe this is not the right time to open up your miner and have all your hard work be stolen. besides you won't be getting much of a support in return...
you guys seem to be a great team or a person behind this miner and it would be great to have such talent continue contributing to cryptocommunity... probably you could develop your own mining pool that is optimized for your licensed miner, in fact having alternative pools promotes decentralized mining...


People -- don't buy any more licenses. The XPM market has changed due to the release of this miner, and now this miner isn't even worth using. Lets make these guys work a little harder for your 35 XPM.
We are working hard on performance improvements right now.
As we declared all our customers will get all new versions until we open sources.

BTW PrimeGPU miner is responsible for max one third of the difficulty increase.

In any case the increase was predictable but our hope is that Primecoin gets some extra popularity as a GPU-friendly non-scrypt coin and therefore it would affect the price. Unfortunately these bitcoin-related issues affect the market significantly so XPM is far below our initial expectations. But we hope that this BTC falling is not unlimited and we have a chance to come back.

could you inlcude in primecoin miner the possibility to run riecoin (and other prime number based coins) ?

mined for a full 26 hours and i got nothing. im starting to regret using htis miner. i set cpuusage back to 9 and im going to try again...im thinking that may have been the problem. but its going to be an even bigger problem if my single r9 280x cant pay off the license (i was only able to afford 1 license).

There's a little luck that is involved.

Here's my last 28 hours of mining: https://plus.google.com/photos/117233004469758429824/albums/6001039204049246945?authkey=CNSzxrK-9cvnLw

Great news...glad you sorted that out.


Thanks guys everything working so much better. Got so lucky over the evening

looks like ypool getting ddos lost 15k workers so much for that ddos protection lol

Some botnet owners are getting mad at what's gpu farms are doing to their income...
ypool works well... gpu farm against botnet... for me they are both whales... who will dump cheap

its empty, nothing display... shouldnt i had to config or point the miner to my wallet address or user or something like that?

PrimeGPU correct me if im wrong, but this is how i run the miner:

1) Open Primecoin QT wallet and download full data then close the wallet
2) Run prime-gpu-server.exe
3) Run prime-gpu.exe (miner connect and start mining)...

however i saw i found 1 block and 1 10-ch but my wallet is empty....? Are my coins going to my wallet at all?

i owe one CPU G322 Haswell 3.0Ghz, is that the problem? Also im running 2 x R9 280x with XPM miner and 2 x R9 280x doing scrypt mining at same time

CPD=1.99
cpuusage=11 (setting something lower cause lower CPD)

you have to wait for it to mature or it was a orphan
use primecoind.exe listtransactions in a cmd

you have to make a conf to solomine yes
eg rpcuser=xxxxxxxxx
rpcpassword=xxxxxxxxx
server=1


you have to make a conf to solomine yes
eg rpcuser=xxxxxxxxx
rpcpassword=xxxxxxxxx
server=1

the miner defaults to 127.0.0.1

This is how it is setup my conf at Primecoin wallet

listen=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=csa1234
rpcpassword=1234
rpcport=8770
server=1

u dont need rpc port or listen or rpcallowip cause it needs to be on the same rig

-listen                Accept connections from outside (default: 1 if no -proxy or -connect)

but its okay to keep
