Can you post a general config setup for me here?

I've just downloaded the new wallet. It won't sync and says: No block source available.

What should I do?

It looks like the seed nodes are getting pummeled a bit, one of the side effects of huge popularity! I think if you're patient a spot will open up.

You probably need some nodes. Add these to your config file.

addnode=107.20.202.112
addnode=54.225.123.87
addnode=54.224.142.224
addnode=184.72.193.229
addnode=23.20.77.101
addnode=54.224.95.193
addnode=54.234.90.173
addnode=23.21.2.143
addnode=23.20.0.137
addnode=50.16.112.122
addnode=50.112.197.152
addnode=68.226.25.44

I don't think that's quite it, but it's close.  I don't think this is a case where we can use 30 as the ratio between each chain length; empirically it seems to be off, at the very least--I've estimated it as closer to 12 by looking at the gap between 1- and 5-chains.

Also, that would not be the blocks per hour; it would be the number of 8-chains per hour.  Primecoin has a fractional difficulty that is roughly linear, so if the difficulty is 8.5 then about half of all 8-chains are not valid work shares.  If the difficulty is 8.99 then only 1 in 100 8-chains are valid.  You need to account for that before you arrive at blocks per hour.  Generally it is blocks per hour = 8-chains/h * (1+difficulty-floor(difficulty)), but when you get close to the next integer difficulty things get weird since 9-chains work for difficulty 8.XX and 9-chains are more common than 8.995 chains.

Aha, so while the integer part is logarithmic, the fractional part is linear? I thought the fractional part was represented in a way that makes the entire number smoothly logarithmic (if you have something linear, just take the log, then the addition of these parts corresponds to multiplication in the "original" difficulty space).

Of course, if there are these complications close to the next integer, it won't work exactly, but it might be a useful estimate for long-term block rewards anyway. It's not like mining calculators can guarantee when you find the next block Wink In fact, whether the fractional part is logarithmic or linear won't make such a huge difference, because a huge majority of the difficulty is in the integer part. (Putting my physicist hat on - we're interpolating between two points we know to be correct, so it's hard to make any huge deviations, especially when you are close to either point.)

I admit the base must be much more like 12 than 30, when looking at past block rates. I wonder where the 30 came from, though, I recall seeing it in a number of posts...

Why did you write this script? what did you change, and what problem did you solve?
Looks to me that its a python script, basicly a frontend for,
currency = {
    "bitcoin": "BTC",
    "chncoin": "CNC",
    "litecoin": "LTC",
    "namecoin": "NMC",
    "ppcoin": "PPC",
    "primecoin": "XPM",
}
Makes bitcoind/primecoind/... usage easier, etc. updated script also tries to estimate block finding time for XPM also.

I should probalby have linked to the readme instead. These are some of my personal cryptocoin scripts I've been building up since 2010, and I'm not sure if they are useful to anyone else, but feel free to grab some ideas.

WOW, already getting flooded with PMs.

Take off your tinfoil hats people. I'm NOT GPU mining. I'm simply running a lot of high power private servers.
then maybe stop broadcasting it just to brag
I don't mind answering questions/getting flames/etc, but apparently everyone thinks I'm beating out people because of a GPU miner.
Would have been beneficial to you and the board if you were just more explicit.  So you have 1 vpn? 2? and on each of these what type of servers? how many? how many cores in each?  

Edit:  Also you imply VPS's are no longer profitable, when it appears you could simply duplicate what you're doing w/ vps so I'm not clear how its not equally profitable, unless you're using someone else's server in a datacenter whose resources are paid by someone else.
Amazon/DO is no longer profitable. Private companies/datacenters is something different. I am paying for the services.

Keep those prices high Wink



Whaaaaat... what's your PPS and build?
Over 600k PPS, HP4.

Shit! How? EC2?
Nope. None of those are profitable anymore. Private VPNs. Pretty certain no one else is mining XPM with them.

uhhh...what? shed more light?

By the way, two of these blocks are only a SINGLE block apart, haha!

Hmm..  I've rethought this...

maybe there were 2 payments on the 16th (although I'd only remembered there being one) and one of the 16th payments has been restamped as the 17th and the 17th payment has been restamped as the 18th, although having said that all other previous payments are still showing original date/time stamps.  Would that be possible?

Also, doesn't explain the 102.?? xpm total that was showing.
