Guys, you should really make use of the Amazon cloud (AWS) !!

Use the c3.4xlarge instances for low rejection rates (c3.8xlarge: 25% rejection, c3.4xlarge: 5-8% rejection) bundled with Ubuntu 13.10.
To access the instances use, e.g., WinSCP and Putty.
Upload the soucre code of the 0.5a miner, and execute the following commands, done.

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libboost-all-dev unzip mc
unzip ptspool-master.zip
cd ptspool-master/src
make -f makefile.unix
./ptsminer PaPbuU9pVGm6rGnMDe8a8MzWAxymf3RXUW 16

(Of course, I'd like to see my wallet adress here. lol)

Oh, btw, use the Amazon (autcion based) spot instances which you get at approx. 0.5USD right now (see AWS-Irland, and AWS-Singapore for example).

Happy mining.

EDIT: This is not PTSpool, but Coyote. I've had better results with Coyote Round Based. The steps for PTSpool is more or less exactly the same.

1. Open protoshare-qt and go to the Recieve tab. Right click and copy your address.

2. Go to http://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=636.0 and download the windows zip file. Unzip content, edit coyote_miner.bat with notepad, replace the address with your own. Save the file and run the bat file.

3. Done :)

Give us a screenshot of the error ... and also check you firewall to see if you don't have a freak rule blocking it.

You forgot to mention you will need sudo apt-get install yasm and the name of the zip file you want is ptsminer-master.zip NOT ptspool-master.zip.

Also I got a core dump error running ./ptsminer with my wallet address. :(

You should decrease the number '16' which is the number of threads.

Code: [Select]
./ptsminer <wallet_address> 16
You may also try the jhProtominer optimized miner.
