Working open source coyote pool software https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=636.0 you can find here https://github.com/InvictusInnovations/coyote_miner

Can't compile bitshres on i686 debian. Get an error:

error: '_mm_crc32_u64' was not declared in this scope

Trying to rise 64bit virtual machine.

Yes, this happens on 32 bit. Also see: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=1974.0

With 64 bit you shouldnt have this problem.

Is Ethereum honoring the Protoshares/AngelShares?  or is this just a random crypto discussion?

Ethereum: http://ethereum.org/ethereum.html

It's not a PTS/AGS-honoring DAC, rather a different approach to create DACs.

I think Kryptokit will also be very interesting once the code is released.

I am having the dreaded No block source available problem.

I am using Protoshares version v0.8.5.0-unk-beta
When I first set it up a few weeks ago I had this issue but it resolved itself after I added nodes through help->debug->console. It was working and then I joined ypool to take a crack at mining, but ever since then I have not been able to get Protoshares to update. I don't know if that is related, I retried adding a few nodes including addnode 168.63.12.227 add which returns an error:Noode already added. I have tried restarting the client and leaving it on for long periods of time, and tried using the client with the ypool thing off all with no luck. thanks in advance for any suggestions?

Can you try to use the client mentioned in https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=1936.msg22333#msg22333 by ripplexiaoshan?

Hello,

I've tried restarting the client and reinstalling, nothing works. Maybe a registry workaround?

thanks!

For those with Client start issues

Try starting your client with -reindex in console. this will reindex the blocks on your hdd and then connect to the network to sync.

Mac os /Applications/ProtoShares-Qt-0.2.0.app/Contents/MacOS/ProtoShares-Qt -reindex
Windows -- /yourpath/protoshares-qt.exe -reindex

Have you tried this?

Here's what I did:

So I fired up the ptsminer again.
Ctrl-A returned ^A
Ctrl-D returned nothing
Killed puTTY
After logging back in,
screen -r returned "There is no screen to be resumed."
Fired up ptsminer again
Ctrl-A returned ^A
Ctrl-D returned nothing
Ctrl-C returned the command line
Ctrl-a d with command line returned terminated by host/logout

I have a nagging feeling that I do something really simple and obvious wrong. :-[

First type 'screen' and you will see something like

         [Press Space or Return to end.]


After this press 'space' and now you are inside screen. Now you can start ptsminer as usual. Note: The keystroke Ctrl-a d means pressing Ctrl and 'a' at the sme time, releasing and then pressing 'd' (without 'Ctrl'). You can detach screen with Ctrl-a d and reattach with 'screen -r'. When your putty loses connection or when you exit and screen was running, screen stays running in the background.

Again thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I've made some major strides in understanding but still have much to comprehend... I prefer to learn it and be able to do it myself. I accumulated some of my questions here.

On the Digital Ocean 2CPU/2GB Droplet, how frequent should the PTS payouts be? I haven't seen any, yet.

Maybe a couple of days, maybe a week or more, it varies from time to time.

Using puTTY, how can I close the session and let ptsminer run? Maybe it is running, but I can't tell. When I reconnect, it doesn't seem to be running.

1. When you log in to putty first start screen
2. Start ptsminder inside the screen session
3. detach the screen session (Crtl-a d) and logout (exit) ... (or just kill putty)
4. Log  back in and type screen -r and you will see your session is still alive.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 as often as you like

Can MMC also be mined in the cloud - same way as PTS?

Yes, there are some memorycoin miners and pools. Check the MMC forums.

It's fired up. Thank you, arcke!
How can I monitor it, and how do I know it's still running? The screen -d and screen -r commands don't seem to work when reconnecting.

I am using tmux myself. When using screen iirc you can just type 'screen' to start a screen then start ptsminer.

Now if you want to you can detach the session with 'Ctrl-a d' and later reattach with screen -r.

This way you can run in the abckground and even log out of the system. If its powered up it stays running.

I thinik you are good now. There were no errors. Ptsminer is built OK. Try starting it from the source folder.

cd ptsminer/src
./ptsminer address ncores memlimit [sse4]

Are you sure you have connections? If you don't try adding some nodes manually.

Yes I have 11 active connections right now.

But since my conf file have maxconnection=1 does that mean my conf file is not working?

Yes, it seems so. The value for maxconnections specifies the maximum number of inbound and outbound connections according to bitcoin wiki.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin

Not really sure, but you can try making the value at least 2. Otherwise, can you give some more details? Like OS, client version, folder layout and how you start the protoshares client.

Are you sure you have connections? If you don't try adding some nodes manually.

Why do you have maxconnections=1 in your conf file? It defaults to 8. In the case of 8 connections. When a node drops you still have some spares and you need at least 1 connection to get blocks or new connections.

Today I've been in touch with several folks from Invictus and I'm amazed at the speed of action. I proposed to set up a wiki for Invictus and now we have http://wiki.invictus.io/ - very basic but it's there and I'm ready to add more. I hope you are too!

Gekko, I made the comment you mention invisible, thanks for pointing it out. I'm not sure who added it, the article was merged with at least one other article but it's not so important. And generally I do think it's important to strive for cooperation more than competition.

Good to see we have a wiki. It needs some work though and thats what wikis are for, but the server seems a bit slow.

I believe in stability. I will not fire a leader until I find a better candidate.

You say you tried -rescan, did you try -reindex?

There are the topics about pool mining. And yes, to join a pool you need pool mining software you will find right there.
