Who know what I must put in primecoin_address???
If I put anything different to mu1DxMiRUgzjNrVyVeHeRhqDm3XVK12SK2 it does not work...
But it seems working well if I leave it unchanged, curious because all addresses I generate begins with A key.
WHAT IS mu1DxMiRUgzjNrVyVeHeRhqDm3XVK12SK2
?

In reaper.conf:
Delete: Device 1
tried - no effectDelete: Device 1
strangely, removing device from conf changed nothing
does 'reaper.exe' read the confs at all?
Okay, so the way I got it working is kinda weird - first, to generate the kernel modules, I had to disable the gpu fermet test. then reaper crashes with 'fractional assert'. Next, I changed it back to enable the gpu fermet test. Then reaper runs without issue. Aggression does not seem to affect how aggressive the miner is, however, so my computer is really not usable while mining. speed does not seem to be much better - perhaps ~2x faster than on CPU alone. I suppose a lot of optimization is coming and various fixes for the weirdness to get it working on all platforms. It also only seems to detect one GPU, unless it's seeing both GPU's as a single OpenCL device? Two kernels appear to get generated, so I'm really not sure what's going on.
reaper.conf
try:
platform 0 <-- change to 1 if you have working integrated gpu
device 0

paulthetafy/entz I got that fixed..
edit base58.c in the libblkmaker dir and add these middle lines:
perfect, thanks! edit base58.c in the libblkmaker dir and add these middle lines:
Guys, anyone please help to figure out the reasons of this

Its only detecting one device and it's not using the device it is detecting. I'd say drivers.

I feel like some of the folks here owe mtrlt some apologies for getting their pitchforks out...
lol
paulthetafy/entz I got that fixed..
edit base58.c in the libblkmaker dir and add these middle lines:
case 0: // Bitcoin pubkey hash
case 23: // Primecoin pubkey hash
case 111: // Testnet pubkey hash
and
case 5: // Bitcoin script hash
case 83: // Primecoin script hash
case 196: // Testnet script hash
So, look up those bitcoin/testnet lines and add the primecoin one. Then compile
(I had problems with this myself - was really convinced I fixed it earlier but I guess I included an unedited lib after all)
Also, for those who like it, here's my primecoin.conf
Not sure if all of these things work, for example, I think "roundsievepercentage" may actually do nothing in reaper. Other things, I'm not sure if they have to do with CPU, GPU, or both.
I disabled the gpu fermat test, because it will make everything terribly slow - I guess that part is very beta? In fact, enabling GPU makes things only slightly faster at all. Not sure if this is faster or slower than the 'standard' high performance miner, because there's no non-arbitrary numbers to compare. Haven't found a block so far..

this is like a treasure hunt 
So can compile under linux. If I run with use_gpu_fermat_test true then I get 0 fermats/s.
Either way, the biggest issue is that if I use anything other than the example address for primecoin_address in primecoin.conf then reaper crashes with an Invalid Address error. Any ideas?
I am having the same issue when compiling from the source. The build docs mention needing a "prime branch" version of libblkmaker. Possible the zip file listed is still the bitcoin version?Either way, the biggest issue is that if I use anything other than the example address for primecoin_address in primecoin.conf then reaper crashes with an Invalid Address error. Any ideas?
With my windows build if I use the two libblkmaker dlls from the win32-binary directory (vs compiled/include) it works just fine. Further pointing to an issue with those libraries. No help for linux though =/
Self compiled version is a lot more stable...
