One quick question: how do I tell how many coins I've mined?

Hi,

just watch 'primecoind getbalance' or 'primecoind listtransactions' or both...
I don't know if immature coins are listed though.

edit :

primecoind listaccounts will show all coins immature or not.

This guide is awesome; I tried to get this running on centos myself for ages without success; now it's up and running!

For CentOS if you installed Boost from an rpm distribution you'll probably have to edit the makefile to include boost_thread-mt instead of boost_thread.

Or just do this, as the guide points out:

make -f makefile.unix BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX=-mt

Thanks for the comprehensive instructions. Smiley

I have got a bit stuck though and I'm hoping someone can help. I got HP5 working and am now trying HP7. I am trying under three different distros: Debian 6, Ubuntu 12.4 and Centos 6.

I was getting some failures due to this bug, but got around that using the recommended s/TIME_UTC/TIME_UTC_/g.

CentOS

This one fails not finding lib boost I think, but the latest versions are installed:

PS. I expect my guys will fix this in the next day or so but I was having a go while they are busy with the main mining estate. Since I've got stuck I expect others will too!


the Ubuntu problem is caused by too little RAM. I think the debian error has the same cause.

Do I need make -f makefile.unix clean before hand? and during make -f makefile.unit (should I be at cd ) or cd ~/primecoin/src ?

You don't need a clean, and yes, in the src directory.

I tried with both primecoind running and primecoind stopped but I get the following during make.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lminiupnpc

If I want to use the new fix you posted here: https://bitbucket.org/mikaelh/primecoin-hp

I am using these directories from the wget HP6 download:  /primecoin/src folder and did sudo mv primecoind /usr/local/bin/.

Do I just git clone the url and sudo mv primecoind /usr/local/bin/.

or how would you go about upgrading it?

i7 930 doesn't have 7 cores, it has 4 cores plus 4 HT threads.
You're right of course, thanks! I use genproclimit 6 or 7 though in Linux or the CPU won't be used fully, that's what made me think 8 cores. My pps went far down too btw, chainspermin is stable. Grin

followed all of this but now the dual xeon l5420 is only getting 8 PPS

what could be wrong with that? should be more like 8000 not 8 right?

Many people are currently reporting very low PPS. There seems to be a problem with the network. Wait for mikaelh to fix it, then redownload & recompile.

Your network configuration is broken, so you cannot download new packages. Fix it first:

For comparison: 7 cores of an i7 930 get ~2100pps on Debianx64. Core2Duo 2.13GHz gets ~600pps on Win7 x64. Interestingly about the same performance per core although the i7 should be a faster. I set the sievesize of the i7 to 4096000 and the C2D to 2048000, not sure if those are good values, in testnet they seemed pretty fine. i7 got no blocks for over a week while the Core2Duo just found one tonight, so it's still got a lot to do with luck.

edit: Great, now you replaced your question with nvm and my post is pretty much useless.  Tongue

Run:

apt-get update

This will update the package lists, and after that the packages should be installable.
