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).

im now synced and would prefer not to go back to an unsynced state, maybe the next person with this problem can try that

I don't know what that's about, I suppose you could try the last officially released binary by Sunny. Maybe that will get your blockchain downloaded, then you can switch back to the optimized miner.

Yes, stuck at 2 blocks, and now I am running the original clients and completed 95% synchronization. Let's see what will happen when I change it to release 5#.

yep its syncing with the original now

Once you switch back, make sure to check with getmininginfo that the current block number increments at least every 15 seconds or so. I had 1 build that had some kind of problem with UPNP and never incremented the current block. However, I'm running this x86-64 build now and it is keeping up with the blockchain, so hopefully that will be the case for you as well.

looks like I should try out intel's compiler.

Last I looked, several years ago, it wasn't free.
In fact, rather pricey unless you had a justification for the cost.

Has that changed?

You are correct, $1600 for the full C++ studio or $600-700 for just the compiler. But there is a 30-day trial available I might try out.

Here's an interesting comparison of compilers/settings, looks like I should try out intel's compiler.

I get compilation error.

This is the make file command:

Quote

make CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=native" -j6 -f makefile.unix

and this is the error.

Quote

g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)

What's the solution?

Not enough memory. Make a swapfile or remove the '-O2' from the makefile

Memory is probably the issue indeed. I think it's the -j6 part that should be removed though (-j6 means it will compile 6 files at a time if I understand it correctly). Each compiler thread uses about 300 MB, so 6 will use around 2 GB.

note: i have other wallets compiled with this ubuntu 12.04 server so i know i have all the requirements for those.
Thanks

You're out of memory, read this thread for the fix: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xpm-pool-mining-primecoin-using-digitalocean-vps-252944

Also, note that your command is wrong. Should be USE_UPNP=- , not USE_UNPN.

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.

Woot! Yours is the first updated version that works for me. Thanks!

pps now varies 400-440. I highly recommend this Zalfrin's build, but still think that this high pps may be a mistake. Will see how many blocks I'll hit in next 24 hrs.

PPS sounds about right, I get around 600 PPS with my 4.4GHz i5.

Now actually getting a block, is pure luck... Lots of miners running with these optimizations now. I've only gotten 1 block on my PC since these code updates came out. I've gotten 4 on my cloud servers.

Wov, this thing flies. On my i3 four cores @3Ghz now have 350-400 primespersec! Original 0.1.0 client has around 50, version 5 from last nigh around 150, and now at least 350 with your version. If it is really that fast and not some error, I would mine a few blocks tonight. Will let you know.

Thanks, Zalfrin!

What CPU do you exactly have?. To try to make a better build, after all it's experience to me.

Intel i3 540, 4 cores, 3GHz, 8GB RAM.

pps now varies 400-440. I highly recommend this Zalfrin's build, but still think that this high pps may be a mistake. Will see how many blocks I'll hit in next 24 hrs.

Yeah I found my first 2 blocks with Zalfrin's 5th build on my i3 3225. Thinking maybe that is the right build for my processor instead ofthe x86-64 build.

Thanks.

Should I add the port number? For example, "addnode 65.29.242.236:51193 add" or "addnode 65.29.242.236 add" ?

I started to mine though it's not synchronized, and I got 450 pps. I am so luck that I got a block in 2 minutes. So is it an orphan block?

If your blockchain isn't synchronized, then yeah probably an orphan.

I haven't used addnode before, but your second example should be right, from the console window.

I have 8 active connections, but only 2 blocks synchronized.

It's a little strange.
