What's the best OS for this in this list?

ubuntu 12.04.1 server amd64
gentoo amd64 minimal 20121210
ubuntu 12.10 server amd64
gentoo x86 minimal 20121213
CentOS 5.8 x86-64
CentOS 6.3 X86-64
FreeBSD 9.1 release amd64
debian 6.0.6 amd64
debian 6.0.6 i386

It's a VPS, and only has linux options...

ubuntu 12.04.1 server amd64 is a safe bet

Yet I'm having trouble compiling the miner: http://www.ppcointalk.org/index.php?topic=341.msg2361#msg2361
Haven't got an answer yet...seems to be a bug or something when doing apt-get install for certain dev files.

I had this same error, took me a day to figure out after hours and hours of trying different things.

As blastbob pointed out somewhere in here, turns out it's your Memory that's lacking.

Run this command, it should solve the issue:

Code:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

this part

sudo swapon /swapfile

gives a not allowed message on my server?

Report on sievesize (for 20 systems @ 3000pps each, hp4)
- 700K: no blocks after 2 hrs
- 1M: ~1 block/hr
- 2M: ~0.8 block/hr
- 4M: ~0.6 block/hr

Seems 1M sievesize is the sweet spot?

Same finding here.

Between 23:30 and 2:30 (1 block/hr)
- I run on 163840 sievesize (weird number, I know, multiples of 4096 - CPU cache size, and I found this to give the best PPS on 1 core and 2 core machines)

Between 5:00 and 7:00 (1 block/hr)
- I run on 2M sievesize (again seems to decreased to 1 block/hr)

Default - all other times (2 blocks/hr)
- I run on default 1 M

Conclusion: default 1M is optimium for finding XPM blocks!

In hp4 I don't have to manually configure he sieve size do I? It gives an automatic 1 mill correct? It's just that on page 1 the faq refers to manually entering it...

The default sievesize is 1mill. No need to do anything if you don't wish to change.

Thanks

Bitcoin is new, makes sense to hodl.

what's up with the git, has the latest code moved somewhere ?

Same here. Although are you sure that's right? 1 block is worth 5 bucks right now. My rig draws 200~ watts when mining. I estimate that's just a couple of cents in power.

average right now I'm seeing is 1 block per day for each ~3K PPS. A little more than cost of electricity on a standard PC.

I have been trying to get a block on 5 PCs for the last 5 hours, and still no luck.
It says I mine at 1500pps on each PC (Intel G1610), so is it possible that it only says I'm mining but I ain't, or is it just luck?
I tryed it both ways by just starting it with setgenerate true -1 and with a .conf file with:

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcport=8001
gen=1
server=1
sievesize=2000000
daemon=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

I used the 1.1 version and I did the same .conf file thing on a friend's PC with a Phenom X3 and he got 2 blocks in an hour. wtf Roll Eyes

(btw I have disabled a bunch of unneeded shit from msconfig, is there anything important there)

It's all luck. I can go 72 hours with nothing from 7000 pps (combined), or get 2 blocks in 2 days.

I ended up deleting my config file by accident and mining 2 blocks then making another one and haven't mined anything in 24H. My stats say I get more blocks per 10 min with a higher sievesize but apparently I mined more when I had the defaults enabled. W T F?

God. Does nobody understand how solo mining works?

He said yes.

Of course it's luck. It's completely random.

Found one block after 5.5 hours at ~ 6200pps, might be pure luck though...

anyone know how to make this connect to a mining pool?

Would that be something in the primecoin.conf ?

No mining pools yet.

What about ypool?

They seem a little bit dodgy to me and many others plus in order to mine you have to use software created by them.

which is why I am asking for directions on connecting the primecoin-qt client to a pool....

Anyone know how?

No one knows how, because it cannot be done. primecoin-qt client is ONLY for solo mining.
