@xolokram

EDIT: I see you made a new miner for Windows, I'm testing it now, but just a heads up, the issue below still aplies to the 0.5a miner.

What's up?  :D I have some unfortunate news, the earlier "rejection" problem I listed is occurring again, this time using the 0.5a 64 bit miner!

The 0.5a version has never done this before but now it too is not sending the shares to the server...
I'm not sure if this is my internet, or the server... I am using a satellite connection with at least 700ms ping times, but this has never happened in the old 0.2 and 0.4 versions.

Other than that, I wouldn't mine at any other pool! Great job for a one man show xolo!

Commands I used to install and compile 0.7, Ubuntu and Debian

cd
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git make g++ build-essential libminiupnpc-dev zlib1g-dev libboost-dev yasm
sudo git clone https://github.com/thbaumbach/ptsminer.git ptsminer
cd ptsminer/src
make -f makefile.unix

#If error in chrono, try
make -f makefile.unix.no-chrono

Hello  :)

I'm running the v0.7 64 Bit binary, but how many threads and memory should I use for optimal performance? I have a i5-4670K with 8gigs of RAM

[xolokram]

checkout newest update
it's working on my debian wheezy machine here  :o

ps. if it's not working PM me or come to IRC tomorrow, i'm out!!

yep. still failing.

@yago:
send me a pm (as a reminder with the information i'll need)

@ram usage:
more ram is better, when the ram is fast enough!!

@seraphim:
still having problems with the latest github commit?
maybe make a fresh&clean clone

@ptsminer:
new windows version out (it's not final yet, still testing)
http://www.mediafire.com/download/52fdhw2c3ny81ti/ptsminer_v07a_x64_bundle_new.zip
now containing several binaries: generic (amd / intel), sse4 and avx
for more information please read: http://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=234.msg9657#msg9657

LATEST GITHUB / LINUX USER:
with the current version @github you'll have to set the mining code manually as parameter, read the updated thread post (see above) or binary help (auto-detection will be fixed soon)

@network difficulty:
:(

ps. i'm off now, see you tomorrow, keep calm, don't panic, everything will be fine :)

I ran a simple test on one i7 4770 machine.  Started an instance of 1 thread with 512 MB and another 1 thread instance with 1024 MB.  The 1024 MB seems to be doing more than double the amount of work. Not sure if I am reading this correctly, but it seems very impressive.

Sorry if this was worded poorly. Try again?

On version 7+ what sort of performance increase should I see if I switch from 512 MB per thread (the default) to 1024 MB per thread?

Are we expecting like 5% to 10% or is it something like 40%+???  Thanks for any advice.

Thanks.

Am considering maxing out RAM to 32GB.  Is there a realistic expectation that v.7 would actually perform much better w/ greater RAM available than is used in the default settings?

[yago]

xolokram, would you mind to pay the abandoned addresses? I had an address for each machine, like:
http://ptsweb.beeeeer.org/user/PibtpUeHCXStrAkcD7buVmeyj9UPcEvwxE

But since about 9 days ago I'm mining using the same address for all the miners.

Thank you!

with the newest version i get this on debian wheezy:

main_poolminer.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
main_poolminer.cpp:541:19: error: ‘Init_SHA512_avx’ was not declared in this scope
main_poolminer.cpp:545:19: error: ‘Init_SHA512_sse’ was not declared in this scope
make: *** [obj/main_poolminer.o] Fehler 1

The github was updated again!

[GoldTiger69]

With the new miner, after 10 - 15 mins it start getting REJECTIONS one after the other. I re-started it and then again, after 10 mins or so, the rejections started again.  I noticed this version is like 10% faster than the other one (120c/m vs. 110c/m), but the rejections rate went to high now.

As all ways, just letting you know.

Edit: NVM, it's been almost an hour and everything it's been fine  :)

Hi Xolo thanks, love the pool. Just curious why the first post no longer has any info on the pool? Hope you aren't closing it?

[xolokram]

running

Code Select Expand

git pull
in the ptsminer git directory
should do the job

ps. working on the windows fix / binaries

How do I update the github?

I try to run the command "git clone https://github.com/thbaumbach/ptsminer" and it returns that it already exists. I think I need to modify it to update as opposed to just simply creating the directory.

I don't know if updating is possible, so here's what I just did on one of my instances:

WARNING! I'm a newbie. :)

Code Select Expand

cd
rm -rf ~/ptsminer

git clone https://github.com/thbaumbach/ptsminer
cd ~/ptsminer/src
make -f makefile.unix
