He better post it quick or else the coin is gonna die. I just sold 100 coins for 15 LTC.

I've just been told that someone is mining this with gpu cgminer at 550mh/s he's found 20 blocks lucky fucker.

I've mined 24 blocks with one CPU and the stock miner, and I know some have done better than I have.

[Edit: BTW - what would '550 megahash' mean in the context of this algorithm?  There is no 'hashing' here.]

Yes, I just mined a block on the original miner.

Anyways. The optimized miners should be posted for the optimal health of the coin.

Is anyone still getting coins?  I seem to have dropped off drastically now.

For those with optimized miners, I do understand why you would want to keep them to yourself, but this is about discovery and the fair launch of a new coin.  Please share your findings here.

I'm searching the part where the code loop 3 time on the blockheader.
Is it when he check for the CUNNINGHAM1 then CUNNINGHAM2 then Bi-twin?

If yes, how to optimize that?

The market seems to stabilise with 0.2 LTC / XPM for the moment

Windows. Haven't got the foggiest with that OS. I'm in camp Linux.


1. I love your profile image.  It brings me back...

2. Is there an IRC channel for developers?  This thread has a pretty mixed audience...  (PM me if more appropriate).

Also you shouldn't add the "$" signs for full paths. As an example -I"c:/deps/boost_1_54_0" instead of -I"$c:/deps/boost_1_54_0"

Yep, thanks, I just noticed that as well...    I hate this.  I'm have 15 solid years of financial modeling but I feel like such a noob setting up a simple dev env...  embarrasing...

If you get to a point where you're stuck again, you could try the auto-magical environment setup scripts here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-easywinbuilder-the-easy-way-to-build-bitcoin-on-windows-252931

Worked pretty well for me, other than the openssl install issue I mentioned in that thread.

Have a feeling the built-in miner was intentionally left un-optimized ....

It was. Look at it's source. It loops over the hashing of the block header 3 times.

And the fix/optimized change is? Smiley

You might want to try again when someone release an optimized miner. The trick is to run it before everybody else does it :-)

Well 3 days of mining and 1 block so I'm out my GF has her pc mining too for 24 hours and no blocks, I think she's also stopping. Good luck to the rest who will keep mining.

guys how do I compile under linux?  When I try make makefile.unix I get "No targets specified and no makefile found."

There are a few makefiles. You need to select the correct one with -f.
make -f makefile.unix

Of course you'll need all the required dependences.

Do me, do me...  I get

alert.cpp:6:53: fatal error: boost/algorithm/string/classification.hpp: No such file or directory

...on my windows build, even though I've even tried to add the dirs explicitly...

INCLUDEPATHS= \
 -I"$(CURDIR)" \
 -I"$(CURDIR)"/obj \
 -I"$c:/deps/boost_1_54_0" \
 -I"$c:/deps/boost_1_54_0/boost" \
 -I"$c:/deps/boost_1_54_0/boost/algorithm/string/" \
 -I"$c:/deps/boost_1_54_0/libs" \
 -I"$c:/deps/boost_1_54_0/stage/lib" \
 -I"$c:/deps/db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix" \
 -I"$c:/deps/openssl-1.0.1e/include" \
 -I"$c:/deps"



I'm a complete idiot.  I was editing the .linux makefile.  Just goes to show you what a lack of sleep can do...

Also you shouldn't add the "$" signs for full paths. As an example -I"c:/deps/boost_1_54_0" instead of -I"$c:/deps/boost_1_54_0"

Hi there,

just started minig 60 mins ago on my Linux box with an AMD Phenom 1090 (6x3.2Ghz). Primepersec is between 15 and 20... isn't that a bit low? What PPS do you get with which CPUs?

My AMD Phenom II X6 1090T gives like 70~130 pps.  But this baby so far only mined one block...

I'm trying the optimized code but when I run primecoind it exists after a few seconds with...
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'bignum_error'

Any ideas?

What a spread.  Grin

Spread-a-like-a-butter.

Nice to see that nobody wants to sell their coins for any baby values. Wink

I just bought 150XPM for 0.10 LTC so price is going DOWN!!! sell Smiley

pics or it didnt happen

See last trades... proof enough Smiley

Also got bid on XPM/BTC section. Check it out Smiley
