BitShares PTS / Re: Any volunteers to stop mining?
« on: November 10, 2013, 06:17:08 pm »
I've got a few hundred and am gonna hold…this strategy worked well for Bitcoin :)

Oh, you should give us a command line option in pool_miner to donate a % of shares to you.

Is it ok to use the same protoshares address on multiple instances of pool_miner?

Run it with..

./miner the-iland.net PTSADDR
I've got it running...it must auto configure the # of processes to run

nothing in the readme except stating to copy ./opt to /

I can run it with no real flags, but, I doubt that's optimal....

Any mining tools out there for mac?  https://github.com/donSchoe/ptsminer did not help...I made the makefile.osx not crash instantly and tracked down all the right libraries to link against (and in some cases had to link by hand...darn you berkeley-db 4.8!) but the binary for pts miner never came through...all it did was compile bitcoind.

Maybe I'm stupid (I'm sure as heck not much of a programmer), but, is there anything out there for pool mining on a mac?

This one works on mac

Alpha Miner by bytemaster:

Awesome; works for me too (after copying opt/ to /).  Just need to get the command line syntax for launching...searching threads...

I'd be interested in your mining stats Bytemaster, how transparent are you ? :)

He'll have "a lot" -- but not like Satoshi a lot. I cpu mined bitcoin in july 2010 on my then year old macbook pro...remember, this was about a year and a half after the Bitcoin genesis block, and I could mine like I did Protoshares on Tuesday:


I haven't made a Protoshares block since Wednesday.  I'm sure it was easier on Monday (I'm a doctor and I was post-call monday and too tired to futz with my computer).  So even though Satoshi didn't pre-mine, he did mine with a larger fraction of the network hash rate a lot longer than Dan (I realize the PTS/BTC time scales, production rate, etc are different, but, I doubt 1.5 BTC equivalent years got crammed into 3 PTS days). 

At any rate, my bigger fear is that he didn't mine enough. A very important aspect of this endeavor is to pay for this really smart dude to make something really really revolutionary; Bitcoin as an invention didn't fit into a category until Dan came up with Bitshares.  We don't think poorly of Satoshi's for his early earnings because he contributed the first element to the set of decentralized cryptoassets; in the same way, we shouldn't feel bad even if Dan did have "a lot" of protoshares -- he invented the set that contains cryptocurrencies and more.  We're at the start of something really big....and I'm rooting for Dan.

Just wait till the selfish miner discovers protoshares...maybe he's got a chain 100,000 long that he started 2 months ago ready to wipe us all out!

P.S. -- I think I'm off by a day in the above...this week has been a blur...

You know, so the network can behave better?   


Yeah, I didn't think so :)

Is this a real question?  I will if there's a need.

Do you have a linux variant floating around (or the SC). I've got a nice little fleet I can throw at it.
yes

https://github.com/donSchoe/ptsminer

I compiled the source for mac os x from the github link above (and a heck of a lot of elbow grease!)
it stops with the command:
/bin/sh ../share/genbuild.sh obj/build.h

build.h says :// No build information available
#define BUILD_DATE "2013-07-01 05:50:56 -0500"

...was it supposed to compile a ptsminer executable? All I got was a bitcoind executable...
