Good news everyone... initial testing with hosting protosharesd on my mac shows things are working.

I have also made some improvements to the miner to support more threads, and best of all, mine 30% faster.    I will be releasing the new miner and pool within the hour.

Ok, it appears that crash may be limited to linux only.   FreeTrade is working to add a checkpoint right after the fork and hopefully that will fix that issue.

In the mean time, I am going to work on a hack to allow me to host protosharesd from my mac client and if that works without crashing then the pool will be up soon.

i think a checkpoint is a step in the right direction, but when someone starts the current client they run the risk on syncing the wrong chain since it's all the same up to now. we need to make a clear distinction in the next one and ensure that it refuses to connect to older versions, otherwise we run the risk of having three versions of clients out there.

I agree.  So we need to have a two phased release.  One with a partial solution that increments the client version number and then uses the checkpoint validation.  Then after that has been widely distributed, the next version should only talk to clients that are using the new version.   

Can you recommend how to do these version numbers.  I am not terribly familiar with all the inner workings of the Bitcoin Qt implementation.

You should still be careful though, since your pool is so large.  I don't know about the mac client, but my windows wallet crashes every few hours when I'm mining, and even when I'm not, it occasionally stops receiving the block chain, and mines orphans continuously until I restart it.  This is true for both the first and second versions.

So far, knock on wood, I have never had my mac client show these problems...  the thing I find amazing is that we cloned from the latest Bitcoin Qt code base and then only modified the proof-of-work and a few chain parameters and then we have all of this instability on the network side.

Testing the protosharesd daemon on windows . . . not seeing any of the problems as reported for linux. Not yet anyway. Think you might be looking for something linux specific - maybe something specific to a version of the boost libs.

It seems to be when an old node connects, can we add a checkpoint at 12097?

Ok, how soon after a new node connects does it crash?  Could we solve this by placing a checkpoint at block 12097? 

In theory it wouldn't every try to fetch an invalid block right?

Running a few tests to see if I can replicate the issue.  I've got a watchdog wrapper for my protoshare client, so if it crashes I'll capture the debug.log file for analysis.

I'll let you know if I spot anything.

We are aware of this issue and have a 1 BTC bounty for any patches that can help resolve it quickly.

I feel much better, thank you all for your kind words and support.   I have read that someone has a patch for protosharesd that may work, but I haven't found the link to it?

Hello everyone... the reason I shut down the pool is due to a bug in protosharesd that causes it to randomly crash.  Others are experiencing this bug since the fork and we are unable to determine the exact cause.  I have started a 1 BTC bounty to help identify and resolve the issues associated with the command line version crashing on linux.

Anyway.. I will be away from my computer for a couple of hours, but I (and others) need this fix urgently because we cannot keep our linux server processes going.

If anyone is able to help us track down why the command-line daemon version of ProtoShares is randomly crashing on Linux and submit a patch please let us know!

This is urgent.

This is the bug that forced me to take down my pool.   It kept crashing on me.

I have been spending the past several hours trying to track down this issue.

Have not seen the database corruption though.

I am about to crash, but wanted to acknowledge your post and contribution.   I will be away for at least 12 hours recovering from this week!

Later.
