yes, i'm still alive
nothing to add

@trankil

Yes....you are mining.

Yea.....default ram setting seems to be best on pretty much all the machines I've tried.

[agentsmith]

Is greater RAM actually supposed to make hashing PTS faster? Doesn't seem to make any difference.

As near as I can tell, more RAM (and higher RAM parameter) will help a bit, but it's highly dependent on how fast your RAM is, and the bus speed, and the timing, etc... If the data being stuffed into RAM is too large for the pipeline feeding it, it becomes a performance bottleneck, and slows you down. You can only test it and see what happens on your machine.

[trankil]

hello
i'm new here and i try to test your pool

could you tell me for each column the signification ?

and tell me if its working for me

Is buying more RAM and using a greater RAM parameter actually supposed to help!??!

I bought 32GB -- dumb because I was running 8 threads and I can do that at 2GB per thread but not 4GB per thread b/c then there is no OS room left -- and my stupid computer system doesn't recognize the DD3-2400 Mhz (Pc3-19200) speed and drops down to 1333Mhz.  The older RAM was 1600 Mhz. 

At any rate, more RAM, slower speed -- it seems to be churning away at roughly the same 2.2 or now, 2.1, mh/s.

Is greater RAM actually supposed to make hashing PTS faster? Doesn't seem to make any difference.

WOW...12 hours for the last block.

Difficulty or people leaving to mine Doge's? ;D

Glad that's over.....

@xolokram

Thanks for looking into it! Have been mining for a day almost :)

This is the command line in the "ptsminer_EDIT-ME.bat" file: ptsminer_avx_intel.exe PbfspbvSWxYqrp3DpRH7bsrmEqzY3418Ap 8 28

Oops! That is not my address... I guess I have to change that to my own and that everything should be OK after that?

Thanks in advance

haha  it is xolokram  donate  pts address  lol

Just need to install EPEL repo for yasm

Code Select Expand

rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

next step:

Code Select Expand

yum install gcc-c++ yasm autoconf automake boost-devel make zlib-devel

ln -s /usr/lib64/libboost_thread-mt.so.5 /usr/lib64/libboost_thread.so

and then, unzip and compile.

or

Code Select Expand


yum install git

git clone https://github.com/thbaumbach/ptsminer
cd ptsminer/src
make -f makefile.unix
./ptsminer <your PTS address> <number of threads>

package zlib-devel missing

Really thank you! It works really fine. Thaaaaaaaaaaank you :P

Please, Could anyone post a step-by-step how to compile the src code for Red Hat? I can't compile it. HELP!

[MrDiscordia]

Okay, so I was thinking it would be smooth sailing from here... I should know by now that's never how it works!  I'm terrible at reading error output, so I thank anyone ahead of time for the brainpower invested.

While trying to compile:

@neverenough

Don't sweat it. You've got a good cpu. Look into the free cloud mining and you'll be doing fine. http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=937.msg8370#msg8370

@xolokram

Thanks for everything. I love the homespun feel of Beeeeer. Reminds me of the BBS days. My beverage of choice as well.  :)

[xolokram]

yeah looks like you've mined for a different address

@MrDiscordia:
g++ (the C++ compiler) is missing!

HA, how embarassing.... I was just using this as a web server and didn't even think that'd be an issue.  :-[
