Primecoin gpu nvidia vs amd
Hmmm, might be an orphan Spotted your user at btctalk: I thought you would have figured that out already, though, I never did come right out with it.
I like solo mining, so I'm sticking to that Are you still running this on the free license you got Ivan? I still need to find 2 blocks before I have earned back my purchase price, but blocks have come well the last 24 hrs. So I am probably still behind if you count what I would have earned mining elsewhere for the last few days. Hopefully a x improvement will come soon. Put'er back in, you are essentially solo mining XPM with that miner.
Yes you are solo mining. I would run the for xpm. The miner is tuned for the When solo mining you have to wait longer for blocks, but the payout is a whole block, which is about 9 xpm. Did you pay for the license, and how many GPUs did you pay to run? It covers one gpu, you can change it to the x for free, just create a new hardware ID and send it to the developer. I'd reccomend mining with both cards to find blocks, otherwise it'll take much longer with just one Then run it, and run the prime-gpu client.
Let it mine for a while, and check the Block counter in the server. I'd reccomend getting a second license for the x and mining like that, otherwise solo mining will be slow. Ok, the devs are working on a private pool for guys like you. Ask them to renew the license based on the new hardware ID you'll get when you run the x. It's a LOT faster at xpm with this miner.
I have more than recovered the cost of the miner, as long as all of my mined blocks mature. I think that profitability will be ok for this, though difficulty is rising. I got 37 xpm after 4 days mining with 2 cards and never even mined for more than 16hs straight. Just have the primecoin. Wait for a block and that's about it. First time you run it it'll generate a username and pw for the primecoin. I used that one, not sure if necessary though.
You can check the balance without closing the miner using "primecoind listtransactions" or "primecoind getbalance" using command prompt. I think, by memory. Supercomputing, another more well known dev has an nvidia miner already and will release his by the 1st of July. Solo will earn just as much as pool, you just have to make sure it is running right.
On solo you will earn a block at a time, which is about 9xpm. It's worth it though, rewards are much larger than a pool. You have a x no? I'd solo with it. I think you should find about one block per day with a single x, but it will go down as difficulty goes up. Ihavent found one today either.
I have 3 x running it. It all averages out when on solo though, you are relying on luck, but luck should even out if you do it long enough. What is your cpd and time numbers at? Found 2 ch today, one block last night, and four blocks before that in 3 or 4 days.
Will probably find one or two in a few hours. Give it time, it might take a few more hours, but if you mine for a week non stop you'll probably get at least blocks. I looked at a calculator the other day, I think it said that Where did i see the calculator for profitability? Total xpm so far: I assume you are holding planning for xpm to go up? That's pretty decent overall quick math 72x0. Yup, something like that I sold a few coins since I needed money for the rent, but the rest I'm holding, same as my vtc and some doge.
You can try cpuusage from 1 to Overclocking my once pitiful i to 3. Yeah, no cpu coins out there Not sure if it is just a luck thing, but I seem to be getting better results with 8 CPU usage instead of 9. More chains and blocks for today after switching to 8. Might be slightly better, will try and report back.
I think I'll mine at blackcoinpool during Sunday though, they will pay some pretty big bonuses and I think BC price still has some upwards momentum. That is bad luck. Blocks have slowed down for me, probably because of the increasing difficulty. But luck does play into it more when you only have one card running. Trust me, let it run for a week and then make an average. One thing though, post a screenshot of both programs running.
I would buy it from you, but my s are in linux rigs. You should leave it running in hopes of hitting a lucky streak. Post up a good screenshot of both mining programs, cpu usage in task manager, and a gpuz shot. Let us double check your config and performance. Nah, just try to tweak it but make sure it's stable. Core is more important than mem for xpm. You won't get any better There's only one or two good settings, and that looks like the max it can do. Now go mine xpm like that: Your messed up voltage?
After getting my cpd average up to around 4. I shutdown and moved it, connected it up to my k monitor, but now performance is lower. I am wondering if the additional load from running the bigger monitor has reduced my numbers. Everything else is the same, but i am at 4. Might have to do with that I just started looking at this. It seems that I changed my cpuload settings. Eight is much better.
Back up to 4. Another miner available for this. This one is open source, but you gotta compile. You should get solo mining soon before you are not able to get anything. A hair under Hehe, there goes mining it in college: I got one block in a day this week I got 3 blocks yesterday and one today. Seems as profitable as anything else right now, plus potential to go up seems good to me.
Reading into this coin, I am more impressed by the developer and his mathematical and programming skills.
Seems to have been well thought out. One of the best coins that I have read about. I'm gonna test it on my x pair and see how it goes New version is a big boost for me. I went to 6. I am contemplating moving another rig over to this, but I am unsure if running multiple mining clients cgminer and primegpu at the same time or if primegpu on s and would be worth it. I pmed the dev. He says perf is close to numbers, but didn't know about numbers.
Has anyone seen numbers on other cards? I am on the fence Here is my stats on x's. Has anyone tried 's or lower? Has anyone tried the nvidia primecoin miner? Looks like it should be good for ti and works on ypool.
XPM is in a really slow but sure uptrend btw, I had to sell to get into more short term trades but if you have some decent volume, it's a great opportunity to hold at least hold the mined coins! I decided to move another rig to this. It is my rig that hs been mining myriad solo.
It has ,, and an r9 with a quad core, no ht intel cpu. I will put up some numbers for those other cards later, in case anyone is interested. Also, there are card specific versions of the miner for x, , and now. I changed over to the version with my x's. It put me at about 7. Should net you a very good profit once you ROI. I wanna mine some more xpm, got a third x but no license for it yet. New HP14 miner for cpu users: Pretty much the same as before IIRC. I got 5 blocks today, between 2 rigs.
Anyone looking to mine this should have it set up before difficulty hits It may not get there or it may take a long time, but when it hits 11 there should be a bunch of blocks really quick. Primecoin difficulty is not linear -there will be a higher block frequency from Not sure if I should bother though Worst case scenario, you can check your cpd against the calculator here http: I think it is as good as any other coin, as long as you hit blocks reasonably close to the estimated.
I seem to get more blocks than estimated, but lower on 10 chains. I don't know why. Another update to the miner is available. I purchased licenses to run a 2nd computer with 4 mixed cards 5 days ago. It has more than paid for the upfront cost and has been getting 2 - 3 blocks per day. Dev is making very good improvements in mining hashrate. He is making improvements and releasing updates every few days, it seems like. Yeah, it's really nice I gotta find a way to run my 3 x cards at once.
So what are the cpd now anyway? I haven't checked for better gpu clock and I haven't tuned cpu or ram yet either. There are updated files at the download website. Download and see what you get.
Oc gpu core to If the free miner needs cat Try installing 4 or 5 cards and then start installing cat Then shutdown, plug the extra 1 or two cards and boot. Go to device manager and find the hardware device with a question mark your extra gpus , right click and install them using the driver inf inside the folder where the amd catalyst extracted its contents. Should be able to recognize at least 5 or 6 cards depending on the Os win 7 5, win 8 6.
Well 2 cards run a bit slower than one: D Seems like xpm is the most profitable coin for high end amd cards atm I will look and see if I can figure out the pool and client tonight. If anyone else gets it going, let me know and I will join in and try it out.
I am not going to have time for this tonight, for some reason my wife has plans for me all of this weekend. Did anyone here get a server set up for this? I don't even have an os that will work. I will mess with it a bit. I think a trustworthy pool would be awesome He has integrated madmax's improvements for a doubling of cpd, as long as they are calculated in a similar way. I will try it out overnight. I am at 21cpd with 3x x.
I am trying to compile and figure out the pool, but I don't have time to finish tonight, maybe tomorrow. I am still working on getting the pool running. There are a ton of deps required, that I am still installing. I will post if I get it figured out. If you are interested in extremal's pool, pm him and he will send it to you. Info in this thread: If you can make one, I'll donate a day of xpm to you, and pay a fee of your choosing.
You're using madmax's miner right? I am working on it, maybe i used the wrong version of ubuntu or something. I have been installing dependencies all morning. Will let you know if I figure it out. I now have 2 xs on primecoin right now getting about 6. Anyone have a rough idea of x power or should I just leave them on something else? At what level would it be best to switch to solo?
I run my xs on Extremals pool with madmax's miner. My Other rig with mixed gpus- , x2, run clymore's solo. Madmax's was much lower cpd on the mixed GPU rig, but close on the xs.
On claymores solo I get 6. Right now I only have 9 active connections to the network, how many are you guys running? I googled for some nodes and added those and a seednode but that's all I've connected to so far. I'm lucky to get 8 connection on any wallet on a good day. Pretty sure that you can mine to a wallet on your LAN.
From what I'm seeing here, I'm guessing Primecoin is doing better than Myriad. So, given that I've got 1 machine with 2 and 4 X, and 2 machines with 2 each, what is the best way for me to mine primecoin?
All computers are on the same LAN. With those cards I would run claymore's solo, but keep an eye out, hopefully someone will release a no fee solo miner with decent performance. Is it a percentage, or up front fee? So what are the cpd now anyway? I haven't checked for better gpu clock and I haven't tuned cpu or ram yet either.

Is it a percentage, or up front fee? I guesstimate a profit of 0. It goes right to your wallet, then you wait for confirms. So your blocks are about 7. I got 6 blocks yesterday. Calculator is pretty close. Solo is only good if you get a lot of connections in your wallet, otherwise stick with a pool Did you start this torin?
I would be curious to know your status and the income from this. Since I moved my x rig 21cpd to Extremals pool with madmax's miner. I have earned 4. I will leave them both as is, until tomorrow, but I seem to get more solo. Also, as far as nodes, my rig that is running solo has 12 connections. I think this is more relevant the slower your connection. My main rig usually only has 8, and is usually luckier than average when solo mining. Is anyone else running, extremal's pool?
I get latency and was wondering what others get. I just got set up. Weird thing, my Vista machine started out an error, and reported estimated cpd of over and started getting less. I'm assuming it will eventually level out to 3cpd. I've got 9 connections now and I've had as many as 11 when downloading the blockchain. But I've got FiOS too.
The profitability calculator said I should get a block every. Did you go with claymore's solo? I take it the primecoin-qt wallet is the official one, or do I need to get a different wallet? I don't think there is any other XPM wallet other than qt. But I was told that I don't need the wallet to solo? I Must have mis-read. Use official Primecoin wallet with this miner.
Of course you can change settings in "primecoin. It is very important to have a lot of connections in Primecoin wallet, otherwise you will have many orphaned blocks. So if you have only 8 active connections, you need to allow incoming connections, check related topics about it. The answer was no. I can't find that post though: Ahh so then I mis-read.
You need a wallet for solo, but not for pool mining. I must have been really tired when I posted that question lol. Correction, I got 2 in the first half hour.
One has just cleared the confirms. The other should be in a few minutes. D Soloing is fun I hear: Thanks, I'm not sure what is going on though. I've got 2 primecoin windows that show about the same average cpd numbers, and the scrollback only goes back to about the half hour mark. But it took another hour to show up in my wallet for one, and the other hasn't yet. It is still immature, and has about blocks to go for maturity.
I guess the other was an orphan. You can see them in the wallet. They should show up right away. Look in the transactions tab. It will show how long until confirmed. Ok, I looked it up in the blockchain explorer, and I still had the block in my scrollback The other client that looked like it had one seem to be having a glitch on it average cpd calculation Mine are only pulling about 3.
Got another block overnight, so about 15 XPM in 8 hours or so. Yeah it's taking forever. I've had a payout of 10 from the hours I was at ypool with 25 more waiting to payout. I'm now doing solo and in less than 24 hours I've earned about 45 xpm, but not a single one is confirmed yet all are immature.
I currently have 20 active connections on my prime client but if anyone has a big conf file with a ton of nodes please post it up: Also, overnight for some reason my primecoin-qt lost connection to the network apparently all of my rigs weren't doing anything despite it being on and connected to the network.
Had to force close the qt and re-open before they connected again. It does take a long time to confirm, though block time is up pretty high due to the miner improvements, so around 48 hours is pretty close.
Well, the two blocks are about halfway mature, but no new blocks since last night. I've got 15 connections to the network, so I guess it is just taking its time. I have about 35 cpd total from 2 rigs. I have only picked up one today, but got 5 yesterday. I've mined 5 blocks so far today with about 35cpd across 2 rigs. I mined a couple yesterday but also was on ypool for multiple hours and had down time for an undermined amount of time over night this morning.
Can you beat that? Well I've mined about 40xpm today with approximately 6. Which amounts to approximately. Pretty impressive if curecoin is giving. Oh, nope, that's with an r9 , 3 r7 s and an i7 It's not directly proportional with scrypt mining, but you get a rough idea Those are my top three picks anyway It's a good idea to diversify risk like that. Are yo guys selling asap or holding? XPM i assume you are talking about?
I'd be selling most of it for now. Wait for a floor and a trend reversal before holding or buying. With the new miners and perf increases, I'd expect a lot of dumping till it's no longer profitable.
Seems like a really good choice for windows users I'm mining triple vert atm. This is a more accurate way of calculating solo mining profitability guys: I got home and found that all my computers were down for about 10 hours. It was a long power outage, at least half an hour, my UPSs didn't keep things up. Still nothing since the first 2 blocks. I checked this morning and I had 15 active connections.
If I haven't gotten anything when I get home in 10 hours, I think I may switch to curecoin, or something else. Even taking into consideration my 10 hours of downtime, I'm looking at over 55 hours running Clyamore's miner with no block with 8 cards.
Is it possible I'm doing something wrong? Solo is alll luck my friend. You need to switch to the new 11ch miner now Google is not enlightening me. Are your stats going up? I got 3 yesterday and 2 so far today. I sold all my xpm made about 60 or so in a couple days. The luck was too annoying. I have or so now. I think I will hold, hoping for a rebound in the price This is what I see: Looks like it is working. I'll let it run until tomorrow, then I'm switching it over to curecoin.
So, I've got about 22 XPM. Hopefully my luck will improve a bit. I have only gotten one today. I suspect that the quickly increasing difficulty and weak price has pushed the profitability down on this.
I would be curious if anyone has run the numbers lately. Don't know if it was luck, or what. Got the most blocks in one day, that I have gotten since gpu mining primecoin started. Too bad the values of some of my chosen alts have gone down so much today. Madmax released the solo mining pool server thing. Been using eXtremal's pool on one rig, pretty cool My connection is a bit poor, running solo doesn't work so well.
Look at the bitcointalk search for primecoin GPU and I should pull up the relevant threads. I have gotten 10 block yesterday and today. Most of them is on my Xs. Using the latest claymore solo miner. It seems to be good at 11 chains. I got 6 of them. Beeeeer has GPU mining for xpm now. Folding right now lol. I have 2 XPM in Xolokram's pool too. Diff is too high to mine in College He said he can do manual payouts.
I asked him about getting the leftovers out a while back. I'll have to drop him a line one day. Difficulty is dropping on this. I still have one small rig on this which is finding blocks more consistently lately.
If you like the coin, it could be beneficial to check the profitability. Primegpu new version out btw Did you try that? It's something like 2. I haven't tried it yet, still on Claymore's, I haven't had much time to mess with miners lately. Steam sale is really interrupting my to do list. Besides I have a and a that are down, both going in for rma, so production is reduced anyways. Mining monero, those are numbers from the primegpu guys
