Title: Protoshares memory usage
Post by: crazydownloaded on December 23, 2013, 11:25:43 pm

Hello,
What is the relation between protoshares mining and memory/thread?
More memory/thread the better?
What is it supposed to improve? c/m ? sh/m ?
In what proportions?

Suppose I've a 2 cores / 4 threads CPU with only 4GB RAM, should I prefer 3 threads*1GB per thread or 4 threads*512MB?

Thanks.

You can hardly get any share by solo mining included with wallet client, by the time with the network hashrates so large.

Go get a miner program and join a pool.

If you still want to do solo mining, I suggest you the number of threads equal to the core numbers, which is to say, 4 * 512 MB as you example.

Oh, I wasn't expecting solomining at all ^^
I saw that in the parameters of ptsminer 0.7, and wondering if greater memory usages was increasing revenues or not
