for now, im going to have to use the ypool miner. i cant mine like this i am going to have to mine for an entire day and a half just go get 1 or more primecoins. if i have or can get a pair of 290s and a 1200 watt psu, then ill use this miner.
all i can hope for is a pool or more cards for solo mining.

Soloing takes luck. It's worth it though, rewards are much larger than a pool.
For comparison:
In my time mining XPM on pool (beeeeer) I've found only 3 blocks over ~6 months.
You have a 280x no? I'd solo with it.

I'd say 0.6 blocks per day 
Mine solo, be patient...primecoin will surely go up pricewise anyway.

Ihavent found one today either. I have 3 290x running it. It all averages out when on solo though, you are relying on luck, but luck should even out if you do it long enough.
What is your cpd and time numbers at?

I'm pulling 2.9cpd with two 280x cards and an i7 3820.
Found 2 ch today, one block last night, and four blocks before that in 3 or 4 days.
Will probably find one or two in a few hours.
It's 100% worth it, power wise and $$ wise.

Very good! Give it time, it might take a few more hours, but if you mine for a week non stop you'll probably get at least 7-9 blocks.

I got two blocks in a row last night, and one yesterday.
4 more before that, in the span of 3-4 days.
Total xpm so far: 72 or something like that, in less than a week with two cards. (not even mining 24/7, just as much as I can when I'm at home...)

Yup, something like that...I sold a few coins since I needed money for the rent, but the rest I'm holding, same as my vtc and some doge.
