Hi,

is it possible to set up the miner in advance? I won't be around to the launch and don't want to miss it

To prevent cheating we have not yet set the nonce for the genesis block which we just started mining 5 minutes ago.   A single computer should take 5 to 16 hours to mine the genesis block so will not be able to release the Windows binaries until we have the genesis nonce discovered.   We will be posting the binaries for download by all about 30 minutes before the genesis block time.   

We will arrange for multiple download locations to handle the load as we expect there to be 100+ people waiting to download.

Anyone interested in the Linux build should fetch from github now and get the code compiled.  Once compiled you will be able to fetch the proper nonce at the same time the binaries are posted and thus build a working client.

There is a bug that will cause the client to Crash if you try to run it too soon.  So the code actually will not be usable (without hacks) until the genesis block time.

Do we need to mine on a pool or is it solo mining initially using the QT client?

@bytemaster :

I've compiled the Protoshares git on linux. It used to run without a problem but now I'm getting :

Segmentation fault      (core dumped) ./bitcoind

And that's on two machines. Is that the bug you are referring or am I seeing something else here?

Thanks.

There is a pool setup bounty. At the beginning, I think solo mining is the only way.

Yes, this bug happens when the genesis block time is in the future.  It goes away if you set your clock forward.   Do an update at launch, recompile, and it should work just fine for you.

Note: I am mining on Linux and one of the bootstrap nodes is on linux so if there were a bug here I would have it fixed ASAP prior to launch!

If you are building the code from source you will need the genesis block parameters which took us hours to mine.  These parameters will not be pushed to github until the same time that the binary download is available to everyone else.  So if you can get the code compiling now you will be 99.9% ready.  Then when we push the parameters to github, you can pull it, build and be ready to go.

After building the final exe, delete .protoshares and it will create a valid start for you.

You will need to pull one last time prior to launch because the genesis block is not checked in yet.

Don't use a vps to mine. They'll shut you down almost straight away for clogging up their cpu's.
Rather, get a dedicated hosted server (a physical computer) and mine with that, if that's what you're planning on doing.

A good service for dedicated servers? I wouldn't know, sorry.

Any tips on getting this actually running on Linux? Earlier, I had it to the point where it said it didn't have the genesis block. Then I ran git clone to pull down the new code and compiled it the same way.

But now ./protosharesd shows nothing (the terminal prints a blank line as if the process stays open, then stays that way.). If I open a 2nd SSH session, top shows protosharesd as running with only .3% CPU and .2% memory, so something is not right.


Maybe my conf isn't right. What is the /home/me/.protoshares/protoshares.conf supposed to look like? I have:

rpcuser=protosharesrpc
rpcpassword=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Do I need to add any other config details to this?

I've increased the number of connections on my node - so try

addnode 180.183.205.118 add

- should be some free slots on there.

At current difficulty, you should expect a block for every 4096 hashes . . . at 10/min, that's about 400 minutes or 7 hours.

If it's any consolation, I haven't found one yet!

Someone is finding blocks... 44 so far and 160+ nodes on the network.  We underestimated the initial mining effort when we set the first weeks difficulty.   Difficulty will adjust at block 2016 which will be in a few days or less at this rate...

Now i click on mine 3 processes, it seems working.
I would like to verify my hashrate on windows, how could i do that?
If i find a block, the protoshares will automatically go to my PTS adress? do I make adjustments other than clicking 3 processes

Thank you guys, i'm enjoying my first minning coins experience  ;)

Help -> Debug Window -> Console

Enter: getmininginfo

It should give you stats...

Yes, it will automatically show up in your wallet.

Newb problems:

I cannot install the Windows binary.

Windows 7 (32-bit)
7-zip

"protoshares-qt.exe - System Error
The program can't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing from your computer.
Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

It appears that libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll was unpacked OK?

Edit: Fixed by using Windows extractor instead of 7-zip.

I'm wondering, how much bandwidth is used by the minning process (more or less)? is it possible to verify?

Not sure.  Been mining most of morning on 2 pc's 3 threads each...First I got an error message and could not find node, then it took a while for hashing to begin, then my miner shut down???? and now I check mininginfo and I find 0 hashes.  What?????  All morning mining and nothing to show for it but headaches.  Oh well.... hope somebody is making some money out there, because at this rate, I'll never make any coins!

tried switching directly from 3 processes to 2, crashed protoshares-qt

tried switching mining off, then switching from 3 processes to 2, crashed protoshares-qt

does "genproclimit" : 1, mean limited to 1 process? I selected 3. also, hash rate dropped from 2.99 to 2.08

genproclimit refers to the number of mining processes you are running.

I modified the getwork byte order to avoid unnecessary swapping... I already have a rough cpuminer but it is not ready for distribution yet.   It will be out in a week hopefully with better mining performance and lower memory usage.

Been mining here all morning trying to find something. Still no dice.

Noticed the following -

{
"blocks" : 1161,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 0.00000095,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : false,
"genproclimit" : 3,
"hashespermin" : 52.235554,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"testnet" : false
}

So I did the following instead
setgenerate true 3

And now it shows this:
{
"blocks" : 1161,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 0.00000095,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : true,
"genproclimit" : 3,
"hashespermin" : 12.347789,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"testnet" : false
}

Wonder if thats what I was missing?

This may be a noob question but how are you on "blocks 1161" when mine currently says that there are only 1089?

Yes I think it just decided to give up mining on block 1089 as it was still on the same block an hour later, probably bored of not finding anything and gave up lol

Have restarted it now and it seems fine, thanks!

2 GB of RAM is very tough to mine on with current implementations, especially if the OS and other services are using any of the RAM.

I tried running multiple instance again today, by creating a directory on separate drive and here is error i get....Cannot obtain a lock on data directory, Protoshares is probably already running.   Help anyone?  what is trick?

I tried running multiple instance again today, by creating a directory on separate drive and here is error i get....Cannot obtain a lock on data directory, Protoshares is probably already running.   Help anyone?  what is trick?

This is what I did

Original directory containing the 1st instance of Protoshare
C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares

I duplicated \ProtoShares directory calling \ProtoShares2 e.g., also I deleted the wallet cause I wanted seperate wallets.

So I have 2 data directories
C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares
C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares2

Inside protoshares.conf original port is 3888, the 2nd instance must be different e.g. 3889

To start a 2nd instance I created a shortcut to execute protoshares-qt.exe as below.

protoshares-qt.exe -port=3889 -datadir=C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares2

The block rate is very quick for couple more hours so there are orphans that cause delays.    It should clear up.

My specs are similar to yours except I have 16gb, when I was running Armory Wallet and Bitshares mining on 3 threads, I had the same problem plus a really stale block.  I switched to two threads and it worked great, switched off armory and switched back on three threads and did great.  Found two blocks since then.

Hi,

I'm new to this and I have the following error on Wallet when I start it up, "No Block source available".  How can I resolve this?

Here's what I've done so far. 

-Downloaded and installed the Windows ProtoShares-qt
-Encrypt Wallet

Is there something else I need to do? 

The computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and has a wired network connection and no firewall.

Also, do I need to setup a different wallet passphrase on each computer I install ProtoShares-qt?

Thank You.

You'll need to add nodes to connect to other peers to download the blockchain. In the wallet, under Help > Debug Window > Console , enter the following one line at a time to try connect to these peers.

addnode 198.154.60.183
addnode 162.243.48.239
addnode 198.199.74.126
addnode 198.211.117.209
addnode 162.213.155.46
addnode 192.199.250.136
addnode 192.241.255.25
addnode 146.185.174.136

Once you've connected to at least one, then you can ignore the rest.

"genproclimit" : 3,
"hashespermin" : 9.52636850,
"pooledtx" : 2,
"testnet" : false

Does this look correct?  What about the "generate" : false?  Should it be set to true.  If so, what is the command to do this?

Been running for 3 hours with no errors.  At what point should I find a block?

Thanks!

Sorry but I'm not a mac user. There should be somewhere to check processor utilization. But I'm pretty sure yours is running otherwise haspermin would be zero.

{
"blocks" : 4380,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 0.00000382,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : false,
"genproclimit" : 1,
"hashespermin" : 3.73146705,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"testnet" : false
}

Sent you 0.25. Just a note there is a bug with 'generate : false'. Since your hashpermin is positive, just check if there is processor load from task manager. Mining now will be a bit of luck.

thankyou @ryen, i use mac. how to check?

OK,thankyou,and how to send the pts back to you?

@geminiyellow you can keep it. Don't have to return. Each block reward is currently 42.125. How long would it take you to find a block? I've no idea. Since the difficulty increased at 4032 I haven't found a block yet. Just fyi my hashpermin is around 9.8. So its a matter of luck.

If you have problem connecting to other peers then yes. You can also addnode directly from the wallet. Go to Help>Debug Window>Console

Type in these few ips one line at a time, I'm currently connected to these peers. Once you get connected to a few, future connections should be no problem.

addnode 162.243.34.76
addnode 54.254.192.95
addnode 54.219.166.105
addnode 54.207.21.146
addnode 105.224.109.199

@geminiyellow when you mined a block, the pts will appear automatically in your wallet.

hi everybody,

first, i just want to say 'hi' and nob question here ... pls help if anybody has answer ...

my getmininginfo:


{
"blocks" : 25382,
"currentblocksize" : 18889,
"currentblocktx" : 39,
"difficulty" : 0.00562678,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : false,
"genproclimit" : 2,
"collisionspermin" : 10.54429831,
"pooledtx" : 41,
"testnet" : false
}

the question is why mine doesn't have - "hashespermin" : x.xxx,

instead is - "collisionspermin" : 10.54429831,

my gpu doesn't support opencl platform, so i guess i'm mining with my i7 cpu ...

any info or help will be really appreciated ...

thanks ...
