Re: [XPM] Working on a GPU miner for Primecoin, new thread :)

Has anyone actually mined some coins with the gpu miner? I read that paul's coins were a false positive and that he didn't mine them with gpu's but with vps...



Well, I'm scratching my head on this one.  I had two instances of reaper running overnight, both connecting to a single primecoind instance.  Both of the reapers now show a nonzero count for the "10-chains per hour" stat.  Based on my understanding of the code, this stat doesn't get filled in until/unless there's a single entry.  Yet there's no record of a "immature" or "generate" (or even "orphan") entry in the primecoind's "listtransactions" output.

I'm left wondering if maybe there's something wrong with how reaper returns work when it finds a block at difficulty?  Or my primecoind is misconfigured somehow?

Ok, more breadcrumbs:

Code:
getblocks -1 to 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 limit 500

Maybe I'll find some time to move over to testnet and capture the submission over the wire from reaper to see what might've been wrong.
