Title: Anyone have a x64 Windows build?
Post by: skaffen on November 11, 2013, 10:27:17 pm
The standard windows protoshares-qt available here is only 32 bit, and can only mine up to 3 threads due to memory constraints.  I'm surprised no-one has compiled a 64 bit wallet for windows.  A 64 bit exe would be faster, making use of bigger registers, etc.  Can anyone provide one?  :)

Protoshares-qt (default client) is for solo mining.

You may consider to check at least the following miners: ptsminer and jhProtominer
They are already compiled for 64-bit and CPU optimization (avx / sse4).

Note: If you still want to stick with the default client, check this optimization => https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=332704.0

This.

It is ill advised to use the protoshars-qt application for PTS mining. Infact, solo mining is soon to be unsupported as the developers are looking to push a "pool-only" mining scheme.

It is probably worth noting this thread was started 6 days after launch when it was still viable to solo mine, not sure why it was trawled up tbh?
