Hi,

I would like to try this on a rig with 2X 280x so I need 2 licence i suppose?

I have a celeron cpu on this rig, will I be able to reach max performance of my 2 280x?

You need better processor to achieve max performance. i5+

Can anyone explain about Immature Mined Block ?

I found a block but it said immature.

That's fine, it just needs to get confirmed by the network after a certain number of block pass after finding it.

What you need to do:
It is also recommended to set alertnotify so you are notified of problems;
for example: alertnotify=echo %s | mail -s "Primecoin Alert" [email protected]

Use cpuusage 9 and be patient.

well I have tried -cpuusage=3 up to 15 what am using ritgh now - so far none of the settings caused the cpu utilisation go over 30% which i got only on peaks - in general its still around 12-15%.

In the future. Will Primecoin GPU Miner to support pool? Solo mining is hard to get a block.

Primecoin GPU miner ver. 1.03
-----------------------------
Mining time: 9.76 hours
Est. Average Chains Per Day (CPD): 2.98
Est. Spot Chains Per Day (CPD): 2.97

Pass: 18206
GPU #0 time: 193
GPU #1 time: 194

10-ch found: 0 expected: 1.211
blocks found: 0 expected: 0.610

latest run another 12 hours or so of the same also turned up nothing :/

I don't know what your setup is but try lowering cpuusage="?" so its only using around 60% if its maxing out right now then i think that may be an issue even though it says lower times
my rigs seem to do much better when the times seem legit and higher but the cpu usage is around 60-70%

E3 1230v3 sitting 70-75% usage i did run cpuusage=8 for similar time frame over night gets about 2.9 cpd with same results. Will try going back to 8 as the gain for using 9 stats wise seems tiny.

Edit: cpuusage=8 only uses 30% cpu

the thing is with solo u might not hit crap them bam u find 2 more back to back thats just the way solomining is
like my 1 rig 7970 just hit 2

BTW: I am running prime-gpu on a rig with 2 280x Toxic cards. Both cards under-clocked to 1099 on core and 1000 on memory. Under-volted to 1.088V with the rig totaling @ around 430 W measured in the wall

So far i got 6 blocks plus 7 10 chains since the start. I am writing you because in last run (approx 10 hours) it has found 1 block and 5 10 chains

question is then how many cards do u guys think are needed to reliably solo xpm with primegpu? Also if the stats are good will changing the driver help or not ( i run 13.11 9.5 beta as its the most reliable across all different coin algo and i have 2 remaining cards i need to mine something else with )

starting to feel pretty pointless soloing on just 2 280x @ this point i'd be happy to find a 10chain just to know the latest version is working... stats seems good but yeh i'm about ready to throw in the towel here.

That's the down side of solo mining when a coin is too high in diff, luck/chance is low. At least with a pool, the luck is distributed more equally and with the help of the pool of miners combine hash power.

I haven't pulled in a 10-ch and/or a block for the past 28 hours. Even though the stat are better in the latest miner and the diff has changed a bit for the past couple of days.

I mine on and off and manage to find blocks...4th so far. Found a 10ch and a block today after 12 hours running. Cheesy

Miner's off and I'm playing BF4 lol

you can still mine on 1 and set cpu affinity

Found 1 block in about 18 hours. Switched to latest version, will see how it goes. Trying to decide if worth buying a better processor or not for my four cards. Been crunching lots of numbers.
