How do you increase the number of connections? any nodes to be added? I have only 8 connections at the moment.
thanks

In your primecoin.conf add

Code:

maxconnections=#

I limited mine to 256.

Go ahead and

Code:

addnode 68.61.164.76 add

in your console.

My connected nodes has been steadily dropping, was at 100+ last night, currently at 83, are people leaving the network in light of the people getting 5k+ pps?

Installed the latest official qt and it crashed.

Program: primexoin-qt.exe
File: src/main.cpp
Line: 1719

Expression: pfork!= NULL

Whats wrong? Already re-installed.

Where did you download it from? look at the file name, primexoin?

I'm not a gpu farmer but I think its better to have people that invested in crypto reap the benefit than botnet owners. I like cpu mining but once a coin becomes big botnets step in. So i see gpu mining as good progression.

Is it really possible that somebody has it's cores maxed to 100% and not noticing he has a bot? Bot-nets are dangerous for stealing passwords, but will they be dangerous for mass-mining?

Yes, some botnets mine in the shadows of masses like litecoin. A large increase there is not noticed like on smaller coins. Plus the botnets are used for DDOSing the exchanges. So they are very harmful to the crypto community.

Saying "the botnets" are used for DDoSing the exchanges is ignorant. I personally know a botnet owner who would never DDoS anything.

I'd like to know if I'm the only one having this problem:

The primecoin client appears to be working normally, it says up to date and everything, but when you restart it then it tells you it's about 6 hours behind and you have orphan blocks. As I try with UPNP and non-upnp builds my ports are forwarded directly at the router (pfsense) and I see normally around 20 connections.

I'm running the 0.1.1 client and had no hang issue on that block, or any other for that matter. Maybe a fluke?

Yep, my official windows 0.1.1 client hung on 22171.

"Don't go in the trollbox, trollbox, trollbox"

I started using release 12 and I'd found 2 blocks within minutes. 2 more found overnight but not accepted (first time for this) and I woke up to find it had crashed.

Just under 1,000 PPS on 7 of 8 i7-3770K cores.

35 hours+ with PC mining i5 CPU @ 400 - 600 PPS (no block for 35+ hours)

4 Linux servers (AVG PPS BELOW)
10 cores at 2500 PPS - NO BLOCK
1 CPU @ 500 PPS - NO BLOCK
1 CPU @ 700 PPS - NO BLOCK
12 CORE CPU @ 1500 - 2500 PPS NO BLOCK.

hm.. I'd be happy to even see a return on my hardware/resources,
but it doesn't look like that will be happening anytime soon.

LoL..

my lame a3 3300 has found 3 blocks so far - 1 just today (250-350 pps). I think there is a problem with the client you are using.

Btw, I had more luck mining with default client than any new clients so far, ... but that could be attributed to difficulty rise.

I think you are just being unlucky. I am mining with less pps than you overall and I got 2 maturing and 1 orphan block in the last 12 hours. So I would suggest you to just keep ~~hashing~~ priming and the returns should arrive eventually Wink

besides the other lines, i got:

"currentblocktx" : 2, and the value was 0..
what does this mean ? found 2 blocks ? Cheesy

or ? :/

I think 'currentblocktx' is the number of transactions to be included in the current block, if you successfully mine (solve) it. Nope, that doesn't mean you found 2 blocks... if you want to see the blocks that you "found" (generated), just use 'listtransactions' for example.

Quote from: igysa on July 13, 2013, 03:42:37 AM

what is the command to have balance, blocks and pps all the time displayed ? any ? or to check blocks, orphanes ?

I'm using this on Linux with headless primecoind:

$ watch "./primecoind getmininginfo && ./primecoind listtransactions"

On Windows, I leave the main window opened (transactions list, I can see if I find blocks) and the debug/console window that allows me to check the pps from time to time

I can't find any blocks. Is there a good way to translate the number of primes required to find a block at current difficulty?

Eg: in BTC, we know an average 2 ^ 32 * difficulty number of hashes will find a block.

You mean you are staying stuck at a certain block height, and restarting gets your chain going again?

You may probably improve your connectivity by allowing incoming connections. Assuming your behind a NAT router, either port forward TCP 8332 (supposing that Primecoin also uses 8332 as the standard port, not sure about this, didn't check), or let UPnP do it for you (needs to be enabled).

Not sure that this is network-related, however. Are you using "headless" primecoind or Primecoin-Qt? Did you check the console, log file and STDERR for any meaningful output about it?

Can anyone tell me if this is a good performance?

Approx 900 pps on an Intel Core i7 2600 using all 4 cores.

Approx 1200 pps on an AMD FX 8350 Black Edition using 7 of the 8 cores (setgenerate true 7)

Yeah it's good i guess, I generate ~650 with i5-2400k
