delete old primecoin source folder, git clone, make, strip, copy to your home dir
I've git cloned it and recompiled it on the smallest droplet (512MB 1 core) an hour ago. Didn't even had to re-size it to more memory, temporarily creating and destroying swap file for compilation, compiled while still mining.
Excellent results, it's doubled pps to previous version. It varies 250-350 pps. Recommended.

Same. Getting 300-450pps
How do I compile that?
I have the original Sunny build with the sieve update in my VPS'
Thanks for the input!
Quoting myself, do I just do this all over again but replace the url with chemisist's github?
apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/Chemisist/primecoin
apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libdb5.3++-dev -y
cd ~/primecoin/src
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-
mkdir ~/.primecoin
echo "rpcuser=ARPCUserName
rpcpassword=SomethingReallyLongOK
gen=1" > ~/.primecoin/primecoin.conf
sudo mv primecoind /usr/local/bin/.
primecoind --daemon
watch 'primecoind listtransactions & primecoind getmininginfo'
Sorry for the off-topic question, but thanks for your prompt answer. I get it now... So if everyone is working on the same block at any given time, would'nt it be better to have a more powerful pps machine than a bunch of smaller instances?
No. The probability of hitting a block is proportional to pps. Your net pps at constant diff over a long time should give you the same no of blocks no matter whether they are on a single or multiple source.
So, i have a question about primecoin mining, how exactly does each block gets mined.
Are basically all blocks open until they are solved? In other words, if my miner finds a block and is working on that block to solve it, then can Joe Blow's miner finds that same block and solve it quicker and earn the coins? Or do i have a flawed understanding of a "block"?
What Im getting at, is it better (not taking electricity into consideration) to have a bunch of separate slower pps computers (or miner instances) or one beast computer (one mining instance) with the same combined pps as all of he smaller ones?
I would think, that if a little luck is involved in finding blocks, then the more instances, the higher your probability of "finding" a block right?
Thanks, I'm a little bit of a mining noob, just trying to learn the terminology and technology better.

Your question is a bit offtopic in this thread, but I'll try to answer to it.
You can find a block at the same time, or slightly after someone else, but you won't get rewards, blocks are mined and the whole network knows it has been mined thanks to the proof of work algorithm which makes sure all the network is synced, since it takes certain amount of work to figure out the correct prime number chain for each block. Thus no miner can get ahead of the whole network unless it surpasses its power by 51%+.

Maybe, but it depends...also, it depends on how well the code works spread through different threads of the same cpu.
Apparently it stops scaling at 10 cores per cpu, and a 32 core cpu is slower than a few 10 core ones.

Just FYI the mods of the forum have been notified of this and will be passing your email address and list of your login IP addresses to digital ocean. I suggest you go hide in a corner somewhere for a while.
Pahahaha! Don't kid yourself with the notion that Bitcointalk mods proactively doing ANYTHING proactive to prevent the rampant fraud and abuse in the community here, let alone doing it for some other website.

What provider is that? 
Secret. 
I'll give you a hint: I paid with bitcoin.
+1 A name would be useful or if you really want send us a referral link.

can we get a name? Can't find one that bills hourly.
No I won't give a name as it's a rather small host, but it's in this outdated but useful list:https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Virtual_private_server
I am a bit confused
can't get it work properly
if I set setgenerate true -1 (this is random and it should use all core/threads)
work like 80pps +-20
with setgenerate true 3 works 300pps
i have 8cpu with 4 cores, which will be the best settings I really tried almost all of it but with no success
thanks

Same here, 32-core Xeon. If I use 30 cores, I get 1100PPS, if I use 10 cores, I get more 1300 PPS. Go figure.
Really, there's a lot talk about "optimized for this" and "optimized for that". With the initial release this particular system had 0 to 1 PPS (!) Now it gets 1100PPS, when other older servers get 2500. When this system mines scrypt it gets 200khash/s, this is not a light server. Something is still very wrong in the code of the client.
I get 2900pps with the 16-core. But no blocks so far
