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.

Remember folks, if you're doing this, keep your primecoind updated:

Code:

cd ~/primecoin
git pull
cd src
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-
primecoind stop
mv /usr/local/bin/primecoind /usr/local/bin/primecoind.old
mv primecoind /usr/local/bin/primecoind
primecoind --daemon

No need to add the url or nothing else to update like that?

I've been manually removing and reinstalling each time...
Also, what about wallets...If I have the same wallet.dat in all my rigs, that should be enough?

How much you earn for each pps?
1 pps is equal to .... (how much primecoin per share)?

thanks

Shares are irrelevant if you're mining solo.

and how much you can earn with 100 pps?

Its a lot of luck. But if you doing 1 machine or instance and its 100 pps, chances are slim of finding something.

When using a VPS to mine, I needed to know when an instance found a block.

This will monitor for blocks each minute and e-mail you when "You've Got Coin". The e-mail includes the hostname of the machine, and the amount.

Sign up for SendGrid using this referral link: http://sendgrid.tellapal.com/a/clk/N4V2k

They have a 200 e-mail a day free program.
Fill in your e-mail address, and your SendGrid user/pass.

It is set to query primecoind, but you can change that to any other coin with a search/replace.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

email=""
sendgriduser=""
sendgridpass=""

hostname=$(hostname)
lasttranscount=$(primecoind listtransactions | grep "txid" | wc -l)
echo "Original transactions count: $lasttranscount"

#loop continuously and check every minute for more transactions
#email a notification
while :
do
#Get a count of transactions
transcount=$(primecoind listtransactions | grep "txid" | wc -l)
echo "Current transaction count: $transcount"
if [ "$transcount" -gt "$lasttranscount" ]; then
#Get the amount of the last transaction
amount=$(primecoind listtransactions | grep "amount" | tail -1)
#Send e-mail via SendGrid
wget -qO- "https://sendgrid.com/api/mail.send.json?api_user=$sendgriduser&api_key=$sendgridpass&to=$email&subject=You%27ve%20Got%20Coin&text=Found%20by%20Machine:%20$hostname%20%20$amount&from=$email"
echo "Notification Sent"
fi
lasttranscount="$transcount"
sleep 60
done

It could be easily modified to send coin to your central wallet address.

What version are you using? I'm getting x10 with ver1, then back to normal with ver2 Sad

(linux)

I always get the latest, so this is ver2.

BTW I tried creating a 16-core droplet in NYC, getting 2x the PPS (about 4000) for 6x the price ($480 a month).

Something is wrong with that 16-core..I'm getting around 7k with a 12 core using Mikaelh2's build

listtransactions only lists, by default, the last ten. So that script needs a tweak to keep counting past ten I think.

Mikaelh's is definitely and improvement. Found another 3 blocks in the last few hours. 2 on a 12 core and 1 on a 8 core. But also found an orphan which leads to another basic mining question.

When you get an orphan, I notice that the ophan amount appears to be included in the wallet balance, though it shouldn't correct?

So my question is, what are you supposed to do with the orphan blocks and is there something you should do to remove them from your balance?
