We have a very, very long time to go before the block reward hits 6 XPM.

I dunno, reward was 15 XPM yesterday.
I don't think you understand how block reward and difficulty works.

Block reward is 999/diff^2.

Each whole number difficulty increase is a 30x increase in the amount of network power required to maintain the same block rate. Good luck reaching 810000x network power for a little while without ASICs. GPU miners won't get anywhere near that amount. Someone already explained why GPU mining is a 10x at best (and that's with CUDA), and because of VPS deployments GPU miners won't even make a dent in the network power since you'd have to buy new hardware.

Care to elaborate more on this, I can't seem to follow your math.

Hey, all setup and running now!



I have 10 droplets yielding about 300pps each. How much could I make daily with my setup?

How do i replace the ancient version with the new one, without delete/recreate my droplet? And keeping the same wallet


I replace it.  Here, lete me help you out some on linux.  I move the old files out and then create a new section.

Quote
primecoind stop
cd ~
mv primecoin old4
git clone https://github.com/mikaelh2/primecoin

cd ~/primecoin/src
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-
mkdir ~/.primecoin
echo "rpcuser=miner2
rpcpassword=test2
gen=1" > ~/.primecoin/primecoin.conf
sudo mv primecoind /usr/local/bin/.

primecoind --daemon



You need to do "mingw-get install mingw32-gmp" before compiling, else you get this error message:

Code:
In file included from main.cpp:16:0:
prime.h:10:17: fatal error: gmp.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [obj/mail.o] Error 1


I cannot get mingw installed.... mingw-get is not a valid command.
downloaded the tar.zx, unpacked, but the make -f Makefile doesnt seem to do anything.
cant figure this out, been googling all day

Last found block earlier today got me 12.78 XPM, and the difficulty is heading towards 9. Quickly becoming too expensive to run without specialist hardware or GPU power, I imagine in a week or two the average block will be worth about 6 XPM and too difficult to find without a whole lot of luck.

When adding a payment method (either Credit card or Paypal) there's no place to put a coupon code. Is the promotion gone?


Yes it is gone.

i get this error on some of my instance :

root@een-11:~# primecoind: checkqueue.h:167:                                                                                                            CCheckQueueControl::CCheckQueueControl(CCheckQueue*) [with T = CScriptCheck]: Assertion `pqueue->nTotal == pqueue->nIdle' failed


Everytime, i need to restart the process. Any idea how to auto-restart a process when it crashes?

will sending XPM that is confirmed, while there is unconfirmed XPM in the qt-wallet cause a problem?

No, but there's a 0.01 XPM fee involved either way.

Is there a way with listtransaction to only see mined coins?

I checked before bur might have missed it.  


Not without a separate script, they are labeled as being mined when you listtransactions.

Let me ask again...do I need to do anything else other than sharing the same wallet.dat between my instances and main rig to get the coins in my main wallet?
Do I need to watch all the instances, or is having one with putty opened displaying watch 'primecoind getbalance "" & primecoind getmininginfo' enough?

I don't suggest sharing the wallet.dat, but it will probably work fine if you aren't mining too many. My suggestion on how to move mined coins around is in the OP.

Thanks again rethaw...I did read it, but wasn't sure I was doing everything right.
