Sounds like a child...

Last 3 weeks I use full 2 cores (4 threads) and nothing... Why to continue do this, can you give me any reason? It's my desktop PC and after 3 weeks I f*ck my self, now I will try my luck with just 1 core, coz with 1.5 use 100%... now 80%, but still scam...

For 3 weeks I have just 9 orphanes with full power...

And now I have just 1 more question for this SoB coin: Why I have 3K pps but slow down to half with full power. And why with half power I have 1.5K (like full power in good days) but again slow down to half. And why in any other coin I have more pps. Why scam us?

Hit a couple blocks last night. The list is getting longer

I guess i didn't need the quotation marks. oops.

You could watch for 'Probable prime chain found' in debug.log, that means you mined a block on your node.

I was planning to add the log to my swatch config and alert me if something was found...  I am thinking that if the code is based off bitcoin et al, then the logged entry is likely to be similar?

I don't know what shows up in the logfile, but it's definitely logged.

You could use listaccounts or getbalance.

Is there another way to see if a block has been found other than to listtransactions?

Does something show up in the log file?

As i see you are mining with just one core and you wana smothing extra??

i3 has 2 cores with 2 treads so if you tell it to use 2 treads just one core will be in use and you would need 15-30 days to find a block as it is now!

WHY?!

Use a mining pool.  I use ypool.net and they even provide their own command line miner.

I hadn't found anything since 20 July until one block showed up on 27, which probably will keep me hooked for another 1-2 weeks.

Reading this makes me feel even worse.  I keep reading that pps isn't a real good indicator.  That must be true because my CPU runs about 4400 pps and and for 10+ days....nothing.   

That seems typical to me. I stopped about 5 days ago after I went 3 days without a block. It's funny because my last block was with a conroe core 2 duo. I had about 14 cores on a few different machines mining away, but since then I've switched to QRK.

For me the rewards seem to hit pretty randomly. Sometimes I get 2-3 in on day and sometimes I got days with no blocks at all. Running around 3500 pps. I have another running around 1200 pps has found 2 blocks in about 1.5 weeks.

I'm beginning to wonder if it's time to throw in the towel on Primecoin. Been mining it 24/7 since the 7/7/2013 opening kickoff on my i7-2600.  Did great at the start, mining over 300 Primecoins. Most was in the first few days when the difficulty was much less.  But despite trying all the latest CPU Primecoin miner enhancements and running my CPU non-stop, I haven't found a block since the morning of 18 July. That was over ten days ago.  Is this typical? 

I'm just wondering if the electricity costs are even worth it anymore. I figure in this area it's about $0.28 (USD) per day to run the i7 CPU non-stop.  Not really all that much, but if it's going to be weeks and weeks between blocks, it just may not make sense to keep trying. 

On the other hand if I do ever find another block, I'll probably break down with tears of shock and happiness.   

Thanks so much for the excellent support of xpm and ppc trading from crypto-trade 

XPM/PPC pair had been added on crypto-trade.com

seems pps rate now became stable. difficulty doesnt changes anymore

There appears to be spamming activity on freenode primecoin channel. Since I am not active there Transisto volunteers to moderate the channel.

So here I vouch for Transisto, mikaelh_, mtrlt as trusted members of the community and qualifies as moderators for the freenode #primecoin channel.

Would be a funny web service to write. primecoin-messages.com
