Add "USE_UPNP=0" in the compile line. If that doesn't work try "USE_UPNP= ".


It's UPNP=- to disable UPNP.

Code:
ifndef USE_UPNP
override USE_UPNP = -
endif
ifneq (${USE_UPNP}, -)
LIBS += -l miniupnpc
DEFS += -DUSE_UPNP=$(USE_UPNP)
endif

getdifficulty
7.98816758

Just about to 8.  Remember that we're on a wacky logarithmic approximately base-30 scale for difficulty, so difficulty 8 is 30x harder to find a block as compared to difficulty 7.

My i5 failed to spit out anything for +72 hrs. I guess I have to check once a week from now on.
Most of my miners are i5 and I havent found crap either, I wonder if there is a bug for i5 miners, has anyone gotten a block on an i5?

I got one a half hour ago with mika's build. i5-2500k. First one in a day or two.

I really don't know where I stand... I've been mining from the get-go almost. Went 17 hrs before I saw anything, and have gone many spurts of 10-12 hrs without. But I'm now at 6 computers on it currently (had 8-10 at some points) and have earned pribably 1200 coins so far. I assume that's par for the course, generally? Some being higher, some being lower, obviously?

use USE_UPNP= as USE_UPNP=0 still builds with UPNP but disables it per default

Hmmm, I'll try again in a while.

Another quick question, sorry for being a linux noob before anyone jumps at my neck.

I want to receive the funds as they come, in my wallet, and not have to importprivkey each time I mine a block.
How should I go about that? (using vps to mine)

I have released my optimized version of the Primecoin client:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xpm-ann-primecoin-high-performance-hp14-released-255782

Mikaelh, I'm getting fatal errors when compiling it... :/
Ubuntu 13.04 64bits

That's descriptive.

Well, yeah, when I do the make upnps thingie, it throws a fatal error.
That's condescending...

Works fine on 13.04.

Make sure you've done this:

apt-get install libgmp-dev

Retrying now...thx Zalfrin, you're da man.

is the expansion of collective knowledge enough?
No.

Any number of examples can be given where "expansion of collective knowledge" is a useless endeavor of no arguable benefit to either the individual nor mankind as a whole.

Please play again.

I.e., narrow the scope of your statement sufficiently and I might even agree with you.  Wink

A primitive version of calculus was discovered a thousand years before its usefulness was known.  Theoretical physicists researching string theory know there is little real world application to what they're doing now.  That doesn't mean their research is a waste of time, there are countless examples of mathematical and scientific discoveries not having an immediate and obvious benefit until many years later.  Having said all that primes have a very real current benefit to modern encryption and authentication technology.

Any1 who understands from code checked it? account at sourceforge.ne created 2 hours ago.
It seems to be working, and giving high PPS, but I'm not sure if that equals to more blocks found.

here is something I read on reddit that scared me:
"Well without too much technicality, the custom miners can steal your wallet.dat which stores your Prime Coins, addresses, and private keys. Along with that, they can change the code to give you a higher, false PPS rate leaving you to believe that it works better but in the end, it's only mining for the creator.

So what most people suggest is running the custom miner in a VM for sometime and see what happens. If all goes smooth and nothing bad happens, it's probably safe to run it on your actual OS, not the VM. Another thing that is recommended is to always read the code (i.e. on github) to see if there's something fishy. You don't have to understand all of it, but if you think something is fishy then don't use it. "
idk about stealing wallet but got 1 block since using it.

That guy, you know, with the face
has anyone done a compare between Mikaelh and Sunny's source code?  That may give you the best hints as to whether it's good or not.  I may be kicking myself if it's too good to be true, but I've already gotten what i had in 4 days in the past hour.  Though that may just be odd luck since I've only had 6 blocks, and 3 on his client.

Where did all the blocks go Sad?
Seems like difficulty went up. I have 20 servers, they had near block per hour, and last several hours nothing
+1 this is quite concerning.  I have > 100k pps running and not a single block in the last 2 hours just doesn't seem right

How much u pay for server a day? Did you get profit?
