Out of the coins listed, which one is most profitable to mine? I'm planning to exchange them to btc after mining.

Yes, I have a merge of tandyuk's and Ray's -xpm code on github
https://github.com/jrovins/jhprimeminer
Several folks have tried it solo, and there are no problems.

Hmm, I can't get this to work on mine. I get around 23 for 6ch/h running mumus build on ubuntu 13.10 64-bit with on wine64, but I got this running for about 15 minutes.

Only if the block found is larger than the difficulty, 10.226.
Look at the top line, eg. :
Best/Max diff: [ 10.067480 / 0.000000 ]
10.067 chain is not considered valid as its below current diff.
Ah, that explains it. Thank you!
There are so many numbers displayed, and I'm not sure what they mean.
It would be great if someone could write a wiki article that explains those numbers for newbies.

If I'm not mistaken at difficulties above 10 a 10-ch no longer has a guaranteed chance of solving a block.
What do you mean? Right now the difficulty is at 10.22630489.
If jhprimeminer says "10-chain count:    1," aren't I supposed to get credited for 9.55 xpm?

Another computer found a block, and it's not getting credited. I'm going to stop using Mumus build.

That's strange. It says it found 1 block at 10ch which is current difficulty. I use Mumus 8.2.

According to jhprimeminer, one of the computers has 1 on 10ch, but it doesn't appear on transactions list. How long does it take? It's been more than a day.

Thanks again,
After I generated new address with getnewaddress on the same account, I changed the address that comes after -xpm option for each computer. However, the number that comes after "New Block:" are still the same across the all the computers. Is each computer supposed to solve different block number?
Also, I notice that it takes a long time (a day or more) for jhprimeminer to catch up to 10ch even 9ch every time I restart the process. Does it mean whenever I restart the process, I'm wasting time for jhprimeminer to catch up? Does jhprimeminer need to solve lower ch in order to get to higher ch, or is there a chance for jhprimeminer to solve 10ch before lower ch? .

Thanks for the info. I've been using the same coin address. Does this mean I've been wasting energy/time?
Do I need to create new account for each computer, or can I just use getnewaddress on the same account to get another coin address?
If I need to create another account, do I need to put that information on the primecoin.conf as well?
rpcuser=account1
rpcpassword=password
rpcuser=account2
rpcpassword=password
rpcuser=account3
rpcpassword=password

I'm solo mining xpm with 10 computers using jhprimeminer -xpm option. However, all of them are connected to one server with Primecoin client.
I just realized that the all the computers are solving the same blocks.
New Block: 332966
The numbers are all the same across all the computers, and I just got an orphan block.
Are they solving different parts of that block, or are they solving the same thing redundantly, producing an orphan block? I hope it's the first case. Other wise, I'm just wasting the energy. Sad

Should I now use -target 10 -bttarget 10 since the network difficulty went over 10.0?

Can I still mine using -xpm option with an encrypted wallet? Since I encrypted my wallet, I haven't seen any xpm for few weeks now, or am I just not lucky.

Is there a chance for paper wallet script to generate an existing address that someone else uses?
Also, can someone hack the private key for a bitcoin address and sweep the entire balance, maybe FBI with super computers, maybe Asic private key decrypter?

I have the following output. Is there way to predict how long it takes for me to mine a block looking at the output? How do you calculate and what number do you use?

I'm not sure if -xpm option is working or not.
I have connected three computers to my server using -xpm option.
jhprimeminer -o http://server.address:9912 -u username -p password -m 61 -target 9 -bttarget 9 -xpm coinaddress
Total pps is around 79000 all together. I ran for a week, but never found a block.
Also, when I used to pool mine, I'd see something like it found some chains once in a while, but I never seen that message since soloing.
Can someone look into this?
Actually it worked! I just needed to wait for the 3,000 confirmations. Awesome!

Are you running it on Windows or Linux?
If Windows then which version?
Because I was using it on 64 bit Windows until the crash of ypool and now it doesn't work even with -xpt option. I even tried this -xpm option but no luck.
Both windows 64-bit and Linux 64-bit using wine.
I use the latest version from the dropbox link from previous post.
