The miner works fine, it does exactly what mtrlt said it would.  So really, stop fucking complaining about it, especially if you didn't donate (like I did).  It's based on HP7 code so if/when mtrlt or mikaelh update it to HP10 it will certainly run much quicker than HP10.

Incidentally I have 2 x 7950 and a crappy quad core with code I have compiled myself.  I have also tweaked a few things too (but nothing like the HP10 improvements) and have minded 2 blocks with it in about 20 hours.

OK good,

some schreenshot of that phenomen ? Wink

how did you setup, GPU doing the test, or ?

Not sure what I can screenshot exactly?  The GPU is NOT doing the fermat test.  this is the important stuff from my primecoin.conf...

Code:
protocol primecoin
worksize 256
aggression 21
sharethreads 1

sievepercentage 10
sievesize 2000000

platform 0

device 0
device 1

vectors 2
lookup_gap 2
debug false
opencldebug false
cpu_mining_threads 8
use_gpu true
use_gpu_fermat_test false
getwork_rate 4000
gpu_thread_concurrency 24000

Like I said I have made a few tweaks to the code which might give me 5% increase but nothing much.  The result is....

Code:
61152.9 fermats/s, 3581.43 gandalfs/s.
354.966M TOTAL     1.02913M 2-chains     65.0499k 3-chains     4.18879k 4-chains     286.323 5-chains     16.1493 6-chains

... which appears to be nothing special really.  I think I'm very lucky to have found 2 blocks already


edit:  this is using ubuntu.
