This is exactly why I vote to POS/DPOS.

 +5%

PoS is the future probably, PoW is just unsustainable and troublesome

I will double-check what was in M7h build, but chances that it does not include fix are extremely low - fix was delivered on Nov 19, 2013, and M7h (last in jhProtominer lime) came out on Dec 07, 2013.

Thanks!

Finally a block included transactions...

this pool is good: https://coinplorer.com/PTS/Addresses/PrrtrqsqSi1nVpBwer46WaY4x9kr1Cw9fA
this pool is bad:   https://coinplorer.com/PTS/Addresses/PpXRMhz5dDHtFYpbDTpiAMJaVarMUJURT6

Though the "bad" pool is excluding even its own transactions. Any idea who owns what? I emailed ypool and but can't find contact info for beeeeer.org


The problem is with the ypool miners which are all derived from https://github.com/jh000/jhProtominer.git
Specifically, if the miners are still running without these 3 fixes (which is likely for the older optimized forks)

    Better transaction handling

    Interrupt on new work
   
    The miner now stops processing the current work when a new block
    appears.

    Critical transaction fix
   
    Fixed a little bug that made it impossible for the xpt pool server to
    generate valid blocks that contain non-coinbase transactions.


Ooops, I think bitder is right. http://ptspool.com/ provided the link to an old jhProtominer build, which didn't include the critical transaction fix. I think yvg1900 can contact ptspool owner to update the link and urge miners to update as well.

ptspool provides a link to file store managed by me, so miners there shall be up to date. It is absolutely pointless to use jhProtominer, because of yam has MUCH better CPU mining performance, and I do not support optimized jhProtominer builds for a long time - all code moved to yam.

As far as I can recall, jhProtominer M7h version located at the link DOES include fix. I think the last buggy one was M7c. I definitely removed all buggy versions long before we agreed that ypool will explicitly block them (miners send miner version to the pool).

I will double-check what was in M7h build, but chances that it does not include fix are extremely low - fix was delivered on Nov 19, 2013, and M7h (last in jhProtominer lime) came out on Dec 07, 2013.

NOT all miners derived from mentioned codebase. yam miner developed from scratch and uses minor part of protocol specific code developed by ypool owner jh00. That code DOES include fix (in fact, was first one to include fix). Versions without fix are explicitly blocked by ypool.

Before we move to DPOS, should 3I use AGS FUND to mine PTS? If not, I am afraid the whole pts network will not be functional. The PTS amount for AGS was only 407 for yesterday, because many transactions were not confirmed.

@bytermaster @stan

The problem wasn't that there weren't miners, but that many miners had a buggy version. Block time is still around 3 hours. OFC still very long, but manageable.

coinplorer showed the new block like 15 minutes before agexplorer, and my client still doesn't see it. Is the network split? Anyone know what's up?

agexplorer updates every 10 minutes or more.

I especially like this comment in the  ptsminer for beeeeer.org https://github.com/thbaumbach/ptsminer.git (which appears to have been based on the jhProtominer but looks like it's been mostly rewritten)

acecb9b0 (Thomas Baumbach 2013-11-21 20:18:32 +0100 528)        std::cout << "*** by xolokram/TB - www.beeeeer.org - glhf" << std::endl;
