I was hoping to help the project with my programming skills, but at the actual rate I'm getting almost nothing, so I'm thinking about just giving up just because I don't like to work for free in this kind of programs.
I entered too late, after the mining difficulty was artificially increased by 32x, so I lost the train.

Good luck in your adventure, but don't expect much more people to enter your project right now. What you have now is what you'll get. And I suspect most of the people into your project are more motivated by greed than actually understanding of the good points of your ideas.

if you are as good and helpful as you think you are,  earn by working. there are lots of bounties that require attention. take a look.

Why would you want to build a faster miner when you won't have any use of if yourself? Just driven by hope that you will get some donations? I'd also like to help, however it's not that motivating when you just have 1 PTS.

I know you just think that I'm being bitter, and you are right. I really like the whole idea of PTS and I'm really sad that I missed my chance.

You sound like someone very sad they missed the chance to buy BTC at $6.00 and GPU miners were starting to dominate.

Naah, i don't believe in BTC in the long run.

I think this is a great idea - I read up on ProtoShares right after it went live and i just liked the whole concept of CPU mining and DAC's, but i quickly realized i was too late to the game by just a few days. I looked forward to being an early adopter, but in this case early adopters were the ones who began mining the first 24 hours.

And as other have said, it's not the botnets that will support ProtoShares in the long run, it's a dedicated user base.

It may be too late to be a big ProtoShares lottery winner but it's not too late to be a wily ProtoShares investor.
Many opportunities for ProtoShareholders are inbound like planes at a busy airport, no matter how you wind up acquiring them.

 

You're missing the point - I want to mine and be a part of something. I'm not looking for a random investment, I want to build something up as a part of a community. If you have to reside to buying shares to be a part of something that's only a few weeks old then something is wrong.

 If I would have bought bitcoins two weeks ago and sold them today I would have had a massive profit, but I'm not into speculation. I want something more.

Fair enough.  We didn't expect it to be such an explosive start and had designed it to take 2 years.  I guess there is such a thing as too much publicity with all our conference announcements, website posts, articles and newsletters in the months leading up to this first event!  But as you can see from this forum, there is a lot of work being done to improve things with a variety of ways to participate:

The difference between mining and buying shares is what I want to point out, and in this case, I would rather have had a full premine and buying shares directly from you than from the very miners that ruined everyone else's chance to mine.

If i had 500 shares, even if they were worth 0.000001BTC, I would do everything i could to help (Graphics-Coding-Etc) without any payment and I know there are thousands of people like me. Right now, since I really believe in ProtoShares, the best thing for me would be if the value went down to almost nothing so I could stack up.

Don't worry though, I talk about ProtoShares a lot Just want to make sure you really understand why I'm frustrated. Not because I wanted to win the lottery, but because I wanted to contribute and be a part of the beginning and future of ProtoShares. And BTW, it's really cool that PTS gained this much attention in the flood of altcoins out there

i still cannot use my router to connect to the pool. i'm using my 3g usb dongle.

earlier some1 said to use vpn. can any one help me how to setup a vpn to this pool. i've even tried port forwarding and disabling my router firewall.

Are you on Windows? Start by doing a tracert, you can PM me the results. Open a new Console promt(Start->Run->cmd->Enter) and type "tracert ip-to-pool" and press enter.

Still delays cause by Ypool or is bytemaster taking some well deserved rest?

Edit: This pool is being run manually, your shares are safe and will be paid out once they mature.   You are in a new round now.

A little of both    I sent out payments about 8 hours ago.

Still haven't received my share from yesterday, is this because of yPool? Not that I worry... Just making sure you didn't forget about me

I'm in!

I have not received payment for 24 hour work. My wallet PqCyB8BTGzWRcnPuA5vCByddGU8hnBwrtj
What happened?

Mature Balance: 4551.14368636
Total Balance: 4677.19887389

I need to wait for the Mature Balance to catch up to the Total Balance before I can send payments.   Block intervals are now 2 minutes and it takes 120 blocks.

Ok. Thank you. I need to wait a little?

bytemaster -is- protoshares. You don't have to worry.

I got in before the last difficulty change (.0..12-51) and my current rate is 0.2pts/day. I just finished mining my first coin(~72hrs) and will stop here. I really like PTS but as I've said earlier, I clearly missed the train

This train has not yet begun to leave the station.  Just buy some on the market

I'm all new to cryptocoins anno 2013. I have no BTC and with BTC on the rise it's not the right time to buy just to be able to buy PTS. That's a lose-lose battle right now. I wish there was a USD->PTS Exchange available.

It's not anyone's fault, it's just a fact that i missed the initial launch and with increasing difficulty over time i won't even be able to mine a hundred coins in a year

I guess we'll see what happens.
