External miner

Both miners are not yet optimized, but the built-in wallet miner is even worse, it does not use the GMP library which should give it a big boost.

Have you done any work on it yet? I might try to this weekend. I can see a number of improvements.

I'm giving it one last try using a single RPC server for all of my farm machines now to see if I get any blocks. Time to block is around 14 minutes with my farm so we will soon see.

I briefly looked at the source code and I can clearly tell that it needs some work. I made a couple of small changes to it and I have mined 14 blocks so far on a 32 core Intel server, but it should be capable of more than that at this low of a difficulty. I will have a couple of hours this weekend to optimize it.

WOW just wow. How long before you share those changes then?

This weekend unless someone beats me to it. It should be a breeze for anyone who has written a Primecoin miner using a bit array.
