[ANN] ptsweb.beeeeer.org - Protoshares mining sub-pool

[xolokram]

davidm, send me a signed message from the correct address using the original protoshares client so i can verify that you're the owner
and name me the wrong address, so i can merge the payouts manually

That one block is still waiting for confirmation 6 hours later and there are no new blocks.  ???

[davidm]

I think I found it. I restarted ptsminer at some point and somehow the wallet address I gave it was missing 2 characters, so I guess I was generating protoshares for a nonexistent wallet.  :'(
What's weird is that the 2 characters weren't missing from the beginning or the end of the string; they were the 6th and 7th characters from the end.   ???  I always copy and paste the address from the protoshares wallet GUI so I can't imagine how characters were dropped from inside the string rather than one end or the other. Very strange. I've just lost some of my faith in Ubuntu copy and paste. I'll be carefully eyeballing every character of that address in the future.

Yep. That was the problem. I just restarted ptsminer with the correct address and almost immediately beeeeer showed a new block awaiting confirmation. It's the first new block since 12/18.

it's pretty unlikely that it stopped
and it's more unlikely that it only stopped for you (as nobody else complaining)

maybe you can check you miner state and/or post or PM your stats-url so we can help you more.

Is miner version 0.4 (32 bit) still available for download?  Anyone has it?

The miner hardcode the hostname, but I am blocked by firewall and has to use a tunnel and cannot edit the host file.

Has beeeeer stopped updating their stats? They're not showing anything for me since 12/18.  :-\

happy holidays

@btc2084:
thank you very much

@doxymoron:
randomness, (bad) luck, it looks like the pool has no ambition to find blocks in the afternoons  :-\

;)

So we have not found a single block since 06:50:44 today?

Yeah it seems like the blocks are coming quite a bit slower.

As a Christmas gift to xolokram and a very modest token of appreciation I'll switch my mining for a few days to his donation address:

PTS: PbfspbvSWxYqrp3DpRH7bsrmEqzY3418Ap

Thanks for staying on the boards and doing the bug and feature fixes xolokram.

Join me if you feel inclined!  Merry Christmas all.

Three cheers for xolo! :)

Hey....I just put together a new rig and had hard drive trouble so I thought I'd boot off an ububtu stick
and mine till I sorted out the problem.

All is fine except:

Code Select Expand

[code]ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install -y libboost-all-dev libdb++-dev libgmp-dev libssl-dev dos2unix
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libboost-all-dev
E: Unable to locate package dos2unix[/code]

Then obviously I can't compile it...is the source only for ubuntu server or is something else up?

Not sure which source you're talking about, but in any of the cases I can think of, it wouldn't just be for 'Ubuntu server', it'd be for any version of Ubuntu.

I don't know what this ubuntu on a stick is, but maybe it's missing some repository information.

You don't need dos2unix to run ptsminer.  You could either add the repositories, or try libboost1.53-all-dev or libboost1.49-all-dev

Hi I am trying to use ptsminer_v07b_x64 and I have this processor right here: http://products.amd.com/en-ca/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=522&f1=&f2=&f3=&f4=&f5=&f6=&f7=&f8=&f9=&f10=&f11=&f12=

Which version and which mode should I use for mining?

Thanks in advance!
