I've installed all the needed extras to run primecoind via apt-get install, then I just uploaded the primecoind program to /usr/local/bin and it worked like a charm. Is there any harm to this? It cuts the time of having to compile it each and every time.

The libgmp installed by apt-get may be sup-optimal for your CPU. That's the biggest concern. But it's also easily solved by grabbing libgmp.so.10 from /usr/local/bin and placing it there on every instance you have.

Thanks for your help mikaelh. I did the apt-get install libgmp.How do you grab the libgmp.so.10 from /usr/local/bin?

Side note: how do you send all your coins to one address? Is it the sendmany command? Thanks!

I meant from /usr/local/lib. Assuming that you have followed my guide on how to compile your own libgmp. Note that you also need to use my instructions for compiling primecoind after that to make sure that the binary is using libraries from /usr/local/lib.

sendtoaddress address balance

sendmany is to send to multiple addresses in a single transaction

The libgmp installed by apt-get may be sup-optimal for your CPU. My guide shows how to compile your own libgmp. Then you can grab libgmp.so.10 from /usr/local/bin and copy it to every instance.

try this
sudo pkill primecoind

I tried that too..

primecoind stop
error: no response from server

Then when I go back to launch or watch it... i get this

error: no response from server
error: no response from server

EDIT: now black screen...
Using HP5

Are you sure it's running in server mode? Put 'server=1' in your conf file, or start it with the '-server' switch.

You're welcome. Tongue

Feel free to donate. XD

HP4 or HP5?

HP4.

Thanks.

Does anyone know why I cannot stop primecoind? I tried everything for linux.. any ideas?

primecoind stop

I tried that, it goes to a blank screen. Should I remove gen=1 first? I think it still is running.

try this
sudo pkill primecoind

How can the sieve size be altered? I can't find any list of commands fro Primcoin-qt

Also, my currentblocktx seems to always be zero and rarely 1 - same with pooledtx. What does that mean?

primecoind --daemon -seivesize=2000000

Or whatever you need for seivesize. Does not have to be 2000000

I can't get the command to work in Primecoin-qt. I've tried the above and seivesize=2000000

You are spelling 'sievesize' wrong.

If I'm getting 500pps and it takes 30secs for the network to solve a block, then what's the point of my have a sievesize of 2 million? Shouldn't it be more like ~20,000?

Can we all try to reach a consensus as to what is the best sievesize regarding block finds ?

Am right now testing 4M for 24h but i fear i'm loosing my time (and ~12xpm) !

look in the op

Q: How do I change the sieve size?
A: You can either use the config file or command line parameters. Either type "sievesize=1000000" in the config file or add "-sievesize=1000000" to the command line (without the quotes). Replace 1000000 with your desired sieve size. The command line switch should be added to the command that starts the Qt wallet or the Primecoin daemon.

worked fine for me.
