Hello my friend´s i read all the pages of the topic and i want to ask a few questions.
I have an intel core i5 3210 m 2.5 ghz with turbo boost up to 3.1 ghz.
1 What is the best version of jhPrimeminer for my micro?
2 What is the best configuration for it?
3 Can i do solo mining o i got to mine in yPool?

I will apreciate answers. Please leave primecoin or bitcoin adress for thank you for your advices.
Thank´s for wrote the topic and thank´s for your time. See you soon and have a nice day.

Pd: I forgot to mention i use windows 7 ultimate 64 bits in my computer.

You can do solo mining and pool mining as well. For solo use the latest form the thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xpm-ann-primecoin-high-performance-hp14-released-255782 Solo mining with this hardware can be frustrating with the current difficulty. You may get nothing for a weak or so, depends on luck.
For mining on yPool you can use the jhPrimeminer v7.1 I've posted earlier in this thread. The default settings are used to give a relatively good performance, but for fine tuning for your system you will have to do your own tests, except if somebody here has the exact system and found a better configuration already. As a reference always use val/h and test runs should be at least a couple of hours.
The settings of jhPrimeminer are very similar to the primecoin client that is used for solo mining. You can learn about more on the above mentioned thread.

For reference this is running on my 2x Opteron 6128HE box, only using 10 threads (reserved the rest for server duties) so 2 cores more than you're supposedly getting:

SPH: 86.56 - Val/h 33.8122 - 4ch/h: 14511 - 5ch/h: 1341 - 6ch/h: 153.02 - 7ch/h: 13.14 - PPS: 55215

Its been running for many hours. I'm using the v4 miner, will try v7.1 soon to see if it fixes my memory problems. v4 doesn't use over 50mb but v7 sometimes used over 14gb.

V4 didn't had the memory leak problem, but it's val/h calculation is outdated. The pool changed the share value calculation and this is reflected in v5+. So what you see in v4 as val/h in reality is slightly lower.

Hi
Several users complained about some memory leaks in v5+ so finally I catch them and hopefully it's fixed in this minor update.
V7.1 64bit - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1189851/jhPrimeminer-GMP-v7.1.zip
v7.1 64bit AVX - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1189851/jhPrimeminer-GMP-v7.1-AVX.zip
Sorry no 32bit yet. I still didn't managed to understand why the same code compiled for 32bit is crashing. Its something related to std::map (if somebody has more experience in this territory).

Some minor features is also included:
-Printing the total share value that was submitted and confirmed by the pool
-The current settings can be printed by pressing the 's' key

Bummer, this no longer runs on Wine just FYI. Crashes saying it doesn't like the new .dlls.

I've just tried the non AVX version on wine and it works well. All the DLLs are the same for all the non AVX versions. Just the exe was changed. Same for the AVX zip files, previous versions had exactly the same DLLs. I suggest you to copy the DLLs from a version that worked for you before.

Actually - big /doh, I'm a dumbass...

I don't want to slander a company without good reason, and I'm the plum here!

So as you know primecoind crashes fairly frequently... The really poor performance with jh v4 is because:

# crontab -l | grep prime
* * * * * /root/primecoind -server -daemon -gen

Oops.

Good news is that while I've been looking at the poor stats from jh wondering why it's so slow the last 5 days, primecoind actually got a block Tongue

Just checked on yPool and it's actually a little over 5 days - even worse!

(Supposedly) dedicated 8-core opteron box @ 'Server4You' for 90 bucks/month. Signed up after a recommendation from another forum member (who was likely full of s*it just to pull referrals).

Stats look like:
SPH: 18.10 - Val/h 4.7566 - 4ch/h: 3299 - 5ch/h: 308 - 6ch/h: 32.48 - 7ch/h: 1.86 - PPS: 11137

Does that sound right for <0.2 XPM/day?

This is using jh v4 under wine, v6 was much worse than this.

Needless to say I cancelled the server but still have it for another 25 days - $90 bucks wasted Sad

ah well live & learn!

You got taken dawg...sucks...just mine it on your own computers....

I get better results that you did on a old ass dual core intel computer.

I am running 8 cores on a I7 laptop and getting about 2 XPM a day user V7...about to install V7.1.

Installed V7.1 and it's working...

Been running on an 8 core opteron for almost 4 days:

Balance 0.479320 XPM
Unconfirmed: 0.372963 XPM

Disappointing.

Been getting a little more than 1 XPM a day on an i7 @ 2.3 (laptop). I'm running 6 cores most of the day and 8 overnight.

FWIW, I was doing much worse on the original jHPrimeminer, like maybe 0.2 a day or something like that.

You're doing something wrong, or you're renting a CPU and not really getting what you pay for.

VPS or a cpu you own? Vps providers are lying with their specs me thinks.

Thanks for fixing the memory leak. I didn't really notice too much of a leak - after running it for 24 hours, it only consumed around 560MB of ram, which is really nothing - on a desktop - but I can see the implications of this leak on a VPS, seeing as you're heavily restricted in terms of resources available.
