Difficulty history:
1. pre Feb. 16: 0.014043
2. Feb. 17 to 23: 0.017247 (7 days)
3. Feb. 23 to April 12: 0.036228 duration (51 days)
4. April 12 to 15: 0.01076 (3 days)
5. April 15: 0.041216.

According to http://mrx.im/pts.php, the difficulty will recalculated in 4000+ blocks.
When the difficulty decreased, many people came mining. Profitability was very high.
But as soon as the difficulty increased, we must mine 50 days with nearly zero returns.
We support PTS but with the actual prices of PTS we mine for no income during 50 days.
Once we have finished to wait 50 days, many miners came back and pump all blocks during a few days and want away.

I prefer a difficulty adjusted after each block, as the darkcoin, instead of the current situation.

The original retarget was supposed to be every week, such massive bumps in network hashrate defeat this purpose.
That wasn't supposed to be a problem when PTS was cpu only, which made difficult if not impossible such things.

So either a per block retarged, or per week (fixed), or less blocks retarged.
We are FAR from the 5 minutes block interval

Now you manage your network as you wish, for my part, I will pump when the difficulty is low.

They don't care about it all that much.

If it's hard to mine, people will buy PTS or AGS to invest in Bitshares. Since AGS is a better ROI, people will most likely choose AGS over PTS.  This is to I3's benefit. It puts the money in their control/hands. They are still offering AGS until July. This is why they don't care about PTS' network. Post July, I would bet they begin to care more.

This is the only reason I could come up with as to why they didn't and don't do anything. I guess they might just not care in general.

Yeah, it does suck. I don't like it at all, being the miner type, but I don't see them pulling away the resources needed from other projects to fix the issue for the remaining 19%. Correct me if I'm wrong but, it's a fork, and a client update for all. Sounds like a week or more of work for a lateral movement instead of pushing forward on BTSX, Keyhotee, etc.

They have had over 6 weeks to do something since I started this thread.

They will probably add AGS 2.0 before they "fix" PTS. 

Just launch mine.sh, like this --> ./mine.sh

While I am holding 200 PTS, I will not be mining PTS any more until I can at least pay my energy bill from it.

I finally got it all working and overclocked. I'm getting 4150cpm with these settings on stock volts. This set of script will overclock your 290/or 290x.

The first line is the core clock, memory clock, powerlevel, and powertune I believe. The max was 2 on the last number. I tried that but a 1 worked better for me so I stuck with that. If I'm doing something that will blow up my card, someone let me know. Temps are under 50c on core all the time and the VRM sinks are barely warm to the touch. When I was on Windows my VRM's were under 50c on VRM1 and under 40 on VRM2, so I should be good.

Here's my OC config if someone wants to try it on theirs:

aticonfig --adapter=1 --od-setclocks=1110,1415,150,1



aticonfig --adapter=1 --od-commitclocks
aticonfig --adapter=1 --od-gettemperature
aticonfig --adapter=1 --od-getclocks

this is for Linux of course.

when i copy paste this: aticonfig --adapter=1 --od-setclocks=1110,1415,150,1   and i am getting:
ERROR - Set clocks failed for Adapter 1 - AMD Radeon R9 290 Series
        Please check that input values were valid

this command is only working for primary adapter I think, because I'm getting the same error for second card. Can anyone give a trick for it?

Hate to break the news to you folks but the aticonfig/amdconfig does NOT work for more than one
adapter. Sure there is the --adapter=x or --adapter=all but it only ever works for the default card.
Must be a bug in the software and perhaps next ATI Catalyst will fix it.

Below is a copy of the current clocks I'm running.

aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-setclocks=1110,1220
aticonfig --adapter=1 --od-setclocks=1110,1220
aticonfig --adapter=2 --od-setclocks=1110,1220
aticonfig --adapter=3 --od-setclocks=1110,1220

Guys, what is the kind of CPM to expect on a 280X?

I get around 3373 c/m at stock 1000/1500 and 3500 c/m at 1050/1500.

@NaN - Have you seen the following on the Ypool version?

Share found! (Blockheight: 56471)
Invalid share
Reason: Share data time overflow


^ I get this for every share I find on my windows 7 machine running 2x R9 280X, this isn't seen on any of my Linux rigs. Your windows Beeeeer version works properly though. Maybe a pool issue?

@NaN - This is the first time I've ran into this, any idea what it is?

[WORKER5] share found: 6494643 <-> 5314636 #12 (2880) @ 1393099429

The monster below recently started mining on the pool, this guy has to have over 1mill c/m.

yes this is clearly not an individual person who has been doing this for long... looking at the track record from the website they clearly have an explosion in computing power they did not have before... I'm wondering if this is one of those botnets that people talk about hijacking pools with their stolen computing power...

assuming it was GPU power, it does come out to over 1 million cpm, and the dollar in hardware required would be close to a quarter million dollars... now if its using CPU power that number well more than doubles in cost... something about it just absolutely stinks...

in a one hour period on the 21st the computing power jumps almost 15x what it was using before... in just an 8 hour period they made almost $1000 in coins... something is fishy...

It wouldn't take $250k to reach 1mill cpm. I estimated it at ~$150k. But his activity is very suspicious, its like it took him a day or so to set up his rigs with the correct configs and then boom just throw them all at the pool at once.
