If you don't hit 9ch then your hardware is so weak that you find no blocks. If you find no blocks for the pool then why would somebody give you 6-7 XPMs/day for no value you bring? How can it work on beeeeer: you find no blocks and they give you 6-7 XPMs for that? Is beeeeer charity or what?
In my case I've found 3 blocks for ypool since Sep 23. Ypool paid out about 20 XPM using their value system. It's about right, but still I've found more XPM then ypool paid out to me. I would actually prefer even more agressive values system, something like solo mining:
found block: 1.0 value
9ch, 8ch, 7ch, 6ch: 0 value.
Topic: [XPM]unofficial jhPrimeminer thread - page 13. (Read 180221 times)
I would never go back to ypool my XPM per day doubled overnight on beeeer .. Oh one day it tripled!
Over 30 days on ypool I was lucky to get 2-3 XPM a day due to their aggressive weighting system, basicly if you dont hit 9 chains and above your payout is sh*t
So I switched to beeeeer my XPM is now 6-7 XPM a day one lucky day I got 9!
So screw you ypool!

I have the same question. Now there is also http://www.rpool.net/
Are any of these any better then ypool? Why do people like them so much? Do you really mine more XPM then on ypool?

I've posted v3.3 of my miner today. It can be downloaded from here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sq24hzo993afy9c/l7icP0KiuM
This is mainly a bug fix release. Fixes include:
2/100% primorial decrement overflow
Over aggressive thread watchdog
Chain counters now only show chains which could be valid shares. Also changed to Valid/Total instead of Total/Valid as per many requests.
Fixed a memory leak on new block detection.
Removed original primorial multiplier adjuster that kept changing primorial even after a user chose to disable round sieve adjuster.
BiTwin filter was incorrectly checking CC2 length instead of CC1 for odd length BiTwins.
Fixed GetWork mode (currently disabled on yPool though).
Added back a removed setting that actually helped some CPUs with cache / memory performance.

these all appear to be for 64bit
is there a miner for 32 bit systems?
There is some strange:
Having two processors: AMD phenom 2 x6 1090t and AMD FX-8320. Phenom giving for 1/3 more shares (using 5 cores), than FX using 7 cores. Why? FX is so slow?
No overheat. Tested on jhPrimeminer 3.3, 7.1 (with AVX for 8320). Result is the same.
I have read this topic, but I not very good in english and not find answer.

At 00.14 GMT beeeeer took ypools crown as the top primecoin site!!!
Way to go!

I've gotten 6.42xpm in four days, but I only mined for short intervals, I'd estimate 12hs per day.
so you're getting
I7 3820 at 4.3ghz, compiled the primeminer myself using hp10 optimizations posted in mikaelh's linux compilation guide.
Getting 2 chains per day, vs the 1.2 chains per day windows build gave me.
Settings I cannot post them right now since my pc is off and I didn't install ssh to connect via putty yet (lazy lol) That's why I don't mine 24/7 yet :p
I'll post them here for you later today.
is mining in linux any better/faster than windows? or linux in a vm?
Depends, for me it is...since I compiled the binaries myself and optimized them according to my cpu type/arch.
is there somewhere that I can look up the best settings for my rig?
Stock settings are good, try compiling your own optimized binaries for linux first. Then worry about tuning the miner.
Mikaelh's stock hp10 settings are rock solid, but more focused on findings blocks or 9-10 chains, so it won't be as good for pool mining where smaller chains count.
You can try the ones I'm using, add these at the end of the batch file: -sievesize=1500000 -primes=2000000 -sieveextensions=7 -bits=10 -TargetInitialLength=7 -sievepercentage=5 -chainlength=10
I'm missing something here.. so hp10 is the regular primecoin client, primecoin-qt. I got the newest one, hp11 (win64). isn't it just for solo mining? how do you connect to a pool with it?
edit: I found the linux optimization thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xpm-primecoin-high-performance-linux-compilation-guide-259022
it's all still solo mining tho. are you somehow compiling the beer miner or jhprimeminer with hp10 optimizations? if so, are there instructions for that? i would prefer windoze instructions so I won't have to re-do my whole setup

HOLY SHIT in the high performance thread, someone named "blackboy" is using dedicated servers to get ~8% of the total primecoin supply. 500 8-core opterons, a block every 20 mins or so.

Let me guess what happened since then ... he reinvested all he had made to buy more VPS time and has lost everything after the XPM price tanked. Dust to dust.
yeah he said he spent about 35k

That's why we need gpu mining...otherwise xpm price is a victim of corrupt sysadmins and botnets.

Due to the issues some people have been having with my jsonrpc mod, I have made some changes to my repo.
https://github.com/tandyuk/jhPrimeminer
The master branch is now a plain fork of Rdebourbon's 3.3 for linux.
This can be downloaded using "git clone https://github.com/tandyuk/jhPrimeminer.git"
All the extra headers have been removed, and I have updated the readme and makefiles accordingly.
My json rpc code has been moved to its own branch, and can be downloaded by instead using
"git clone --branch jsonrpc https://github.com/tandyuk/jhPrimeminer.git"
As always, donations are greatfully recieved.
Happy mining

Hi, i'm not sure if tandyuk follows this thread, but i'd like to suggest a small patch to his code. I had problem when reconnecting after my network went down. The code seems to wait for 30 secs before reconnecting only on the first try, then tries again indefinitely without waiting and thus consumes lots of machine resources needlessly, and never reconnects at all. Adding "Sleep(30*1000)" at the end of the reconnect loop, just as it's done in main() when it first connects, solved it (at least on Mac OSX, will try on windows/cygwin on monday, at work). The patch follows:
Code:
diff --git a/src/primecoinMiner/main.cpp b/src/primecoinMiner/main.cpp
index f91e0ae..c66e314 100644
--- a/src/primecoinMiner/main.cpp

if( workData.xptClient )

+ Sleep(1000*30);
}
}
// has the block data changed?
