Title: PTS Mining Giveaway - 300 PTS TRX fees -$100 per transaction, 10+ transactions.
Post by: bytemaster on November 13, 2014, 01:14:00 am
Starting Thursday morning I will be broadcasting the PTS refund transactions.   To encourage mining I will be setting a very high transaction fee of 300 PTS. 

There will likely be 10+ transactions so dust off your old mining rigs and help keep the PTS network alive and get our transactions processed.

Looks like I have some rigs to reassemble.

Brings back memories. Oh the young and naive days :) .

My 32 GPU's during setup. All boxed up and mostly sold now.

I havent got anywhere near that setup.  I can pull my 3 7970s and my 2 7950s out of mothball for a special event though.  What is currently the best GPU mining technique?  I can't remember the last pool I used.

I'd go with ypool.net and the software I was using on Windows was PtsGPUz0.5b. If you can't find that (I think they have it on ypool.net) I can share it via dropbox.

I'll only be running a single 7970. I don't have the energy to rebuild all that shit lol.

I got two 7970's out of mothball and have them running in my gaming rig with a fan blowing on them. Getting about 7500 c/m. ypool seems to be getting most of the blocks.

People are turning up though.

So far today I have managed to refund everyone who donated in increments between: 

1 PTS and 100 PTS
200 PTS and 500 PTS

I have also handled some donations outside those ranges as well.   All told over 50% of the PTS has been refunded thus far.

I need to wait for my existing transactions to get included in a block before I can refund the remaining donations.   

Thank you everyone who is mining, currently blocks are fetching almost $600 each so it should be very profitable right now.

Guessing the 10 blocks  for refund have almost all gone through by now? BM can you confirm?

I tried to fire up my old EC2 CPU miner instances yesterday, but I couldn't figure out how to get xptminer to mine using the GPU, it seemed to just default to CPU despite last commit saying that the code was hard wired to mine via GPU.

Probably missed the boat now on the $600 blocks. Does anyone think that BMs recent proposal of higher transaction fees for PTS will make it worthwhile mining them again?

If not then is there any other GPU mining software available with know instructions on how to get it work. I only ever mined PTS with CPU before. How many cols/per second should one expect from a EC2 G2 grid K520 instance..? I was only getting 80-100 and so this is why I know my test instance yesterday must have been using only the CPU :(

Actual transaction fees vary from title... but there are several hundred dollars worth of unconfirmed transaction fees.

I have donated between 1-100 pts each time  and have get back about 2/3 of my transactions,  is it  because of your pending transactions?
