It's the 4th day of XPM VPS mining for me using Beer pool. The first day started out promising. I was looking at possibly generating a coin every 2 days. Unfortunately the second day things slowed down and they don't appear to be getting better.
We may be looking at pool mining as the only real source of income for the regular Joe. If you had enough machines to throw at XPM you might do OK with solo mining in a private pool but I don't fall in that category. The thing I found funny is PrimesPerSecond (PPS) don't seem to matter as a stat that means anything.
There is a significant amount of luck involved in finding XPM. In a pool I do OK, I get my nibbles but solo mining on my i3 PC has proven fruitless. I'll let it keep running and hope for a chain but I'm not counting on it.
I'm considering converting it to a private pool and throwing a couple of core2duo at it for a week and see what happens but first I'll finish a full week of solo at minimum.
Not giving up on Prime just yet but it doesn't look as glamorous as I first thought.
