So what's the most optimized miner out right now?

Depends on your processors. We have ones tuned to Sandy Bridge i5 2500k, and a 620 i7 don't know what model, then one for AM FX 8320, then a generic build.

I missed some for sure. Someone help me out here.

This is my build, I used -O2 -march=native, I'm running a FX 8350, it gives me ~1250 PPS on that. I placed all the dlls in the rar. Please do your virus check and everything, I compiled that on a VM but still take precautions running a file made by another person.

Sadly I closed the client and then reopened and the blocks are gone.

Even though they where all there after a shutdown and restart before that now they are all gone after closing the program and reopening it.

That's because they all got orphaned. Your client was off mining on it's own, unfortunately.

It said I had 8 active connections ?

btw just talked to Luke-Jr, he started a bfgminer branch for prime if anyone wants to work on that or compile versions..

https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/tree/prime

do you know if it is going to cpu only or with gpu support?

btw my issue was no primecoin.conf was created.. so it was stuck at 2 blocks.. once I manually created it it started getting blocks for anyone else dealing with this issue

That is.... intriguing. I wonder if it was that, or just restarting the client?

What I did.. download original client from primecoin.org, ran the installer, DID NOT run the app when it was, downloaded one from dropbox, copied over the files and ran it..

so maybe its not doing creating the primecoin.conf init if you do it that way.

BTW whats the latest release..

Core i7

I'm using release5 on my sandy bridge i5. anonppcoin compiled a version that was targeted specifically at the i7-family as well.

Here's another binary I've made which targets simply x86-64 processors. This SHOULD work over a wider range of processors than my earlier releases. It may not work on 32-bit OSes (not sure).

This gave me a little hint. FYI sunny, the code this was built from is here, it is slightly modified from your latest commit to include some additional suggested optimizations from Mike270. https://github.com/Zalfrin/primecoin

There may be a bug in the way the "phash" variable is replacing "pblock->GetHeaderHash();". Maybe phash needs to be updated within the loop starting on line 4640 of main.cpp

I'm also suck at 2 blocks 3 days behind.. any thoughts?

Try running these commands in the console:

Eli0t had success using the last official client from Sunny to sync up the blockchain, then switching over to my release for mining.

I'll be investigating the sync-up problem in my version... I'm working on getting a second computer to recreate the problem. The ancient Pentium 4M computer I tried out was not happy, but it didn't make it as far as downloading ANY of the block chain.

I just realized I have 6 blocks but all 6 blocks have zero confirmations its this normal ?

No, sounds like your qt is not following the block chain. Should increment by 1 for every block the network finds.

I started the 5# release successfully after complete synchronization with the original client, and the block number increases well at a rate about one block every 15 seconds.
