Much to my own surprise I had kept a copy of the old wallet, and now have everything back in its proper place.  Grin

At least I discovered this with only 1.2XPM at risk, and not the 1000+ sitting on another machine. Big sigh of relief.

^ Will code for Bitcoins
Right, I've goofed and need some help.

I sent some coins to a wallet I used to have. But I forgot that I had done a clean install of Primecoin on the target machine, which now has a different address to the one I sent to. Is it possible to get my coins back?

Thanks
Pete


It is very likely you'll have luck, reinstalling usually doesn't mess with wallet.dat which is placed in separate folder. Unless you deleted it explicitly yourself.

You  need to find a wallet.dat of that old install.

i have found a vps : 15000pps for 0.2$/hour Smiley

I can't share because the ressource are shared (my pps drop at 200 when someone else use the cpu, but it's not often).




I tried to setup a windows VPS (windows server 2008) , but my miner don't connect to the network. Any idea why?
I disable the firewall, try adding node, but nothing

OK, but I have so bad luck or it's most suck coin ever?!

I mine over 70 hours and I found 10 blocks (all immature...). Today all was changed to orphan and was delete from my wallet... It's really not nice and completly demotivated...

You can try to break my badluck with any donation to XPM: AYt9xqb8vCDEQoL6W1hKxJmLwwQ6BvjFA6

Was the wallet able to synchronize before you started mining? Or did it stay at "X days behind" on the bottom of Bitcoin-qt? I'm guessing you mined them all without a current blockchain and then today you were able to download the blockchain and the wallet found out that you found those blocks seperate from the blockchain.

I dont think there are ASIC or GPU mining. Some people find good deal with VPS plan, mining still profitable at 0.003

Maybe. Either way; We need a public OCL miner. I got my two 7870's ready to hop on primecoin.

Terminated.
Someone out there is definitely GPU mining, and isn't sharing it. They could 51% the network if they wanted to. :/
No.
Botnets are mining Smiley

Bitcoin is new, makes sense to hodl.
Do you expect to see xpm/btc price settle at 0.001ish as other as ppc/trc/fc ? It's getting harder and harder to mine, but there's not really use of it, or you think it will be different this time.

As other cryptos are either SHA256d or scrypt based, I think this one has at least a light scientific value and at the very least has a "collector" value compared to others.

Math geeks may have a good time priming faster and/or more efficiently than others using their knowledge. OK, I'm being optimistic Tongue

as for "collect value", coins in the block that broke the world record in the other days should be worth more than some random coins.

Tried it on two machines...got this on each:

Code:
Getwork() failed with error code 1

Bummer, as I've only gotten one block last Thursday or so and nothing since.  I was looking forward to pooled mining.

can i mine this without running the wallet?
yes, run the primecoind instead. remember to edit the conf file add: gen=1

Actually, primecoind also runs the wallet (you can execute transactions using its RPC interface) but it does not have a GUI.
If that's what was meant by "without running the wallet" everything is fine :-)

Onkel Paul

i dont know how to run the primecoind and how to edit conf, do i have to make my own conf u mean because i dont see any in prime coin directory , i have to c2duo e8200 want to run them automatically when i start the computer without opening the wallet, can somebody help me about this conf thing thanks.

Example:
Are u using windows?
Go to C:\Users\*yourcomputeruser*\AppData\Roaming\Primecoin
Make file primecoin.conf, edit by notepad, paste the content:
Quote
rpcuser=x
rpcpassword=x
gen=1

Open Task and Schedule on Windows, make a task run D:\Primecoin\daemon\primecoind.exe when user logon.

If you want to mine, gen=1 is enough with primecoin-qt. If you don't need a GraphicalUserInterface use primecoind and another much more difficult password than x, for your own security.

And with a 'normal' PC you need much luck and patience. I have no luck as yet, and I'm mining since start.
