Title: installing on linux and solo mining
Post by: aitiba on November 07, 2013, 01:55:59 am

Hello,

 This is my first message here so congratulations for the project!

  I have the protosharesd installed and running on linux mint (debian testing) but I dont know how can I do a solo mining.  ¿Someone can help me please?

  When I make ./protosharesd   gethashespersec I get 0. I need a number here greater than 0 right?

Thanks.

Yes, it takes approx 4-6 minutes (in my experience) to see progress showing with gethashespersec.  Are the cpu(s) pegging out?  Setup the .conf correctly?  It is same as solo mining for any other crypto currency, ei: Bitcoin.  Good luck! :)

Start it with the gen flag:

./protosharesd -gen

Start it with the gen flag:

./protosharesd -gen

is this better than set in .conf file?

My english is not my language and I dont understad the question. I ask to the translator to help me but I still dont understand the question.

I have on my user folder on .protoshares a file called .protoshares.conf with rpcuser and rpcpassword defined.

Now if I make  ./protoshares getinfo I get this info:

{
    "version" : 80500,
    "protocolversion" : 70001,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 4431,
    "timeoffset" : -9,
    "connections" : 8,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 0.00000382,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1383786723,
    "keypoolsize" : 103,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "errors" : ""
}

so I think that I'm mining protoshares ¿right?

I dont mine anything alone I try to mine bitcoin with my cpu, cpu miner and a pool  and I get it. This is my experience minning.

thanks for the help!

By "pegged out", he means are the CPU's running at 100+%?

Type "top", look in the list for protosharesd, and see if the CPU percentage is very high. Type "q" to get out of this.

No. I have the cpu between 30 and 60% ,

I see the ./protoshared -deamon on that top list.

thanks!
