BitShares PTS / Re: CPU? AMD A-serien A4-5300 ?
« on: December 20, 2013, 10:01:53 pm »
It will work. No special instruction sets needed. CPUs before AMD Athlon X2 and Core 2 Duo, I'm not sure about (pre-2006).

BitShares PTS / Re: [Updated] Guide To Pool Cloud Mining Protoshares - Also get free PTS!
« on: December 16, 2013, 12:59:05 am »That isn't really called for.. He's giving you free PTS. You aren't paying him a penny. So he isn't scamming you at all..BEWARE SCAM!

Hey bitshirehashaway, when will you send my signup bonus? I'm waiting more than two weeks. I've sent you proof screenshots, you said you are out of PTS and you said you're able to pay by PayPal. Do you already have PTS? I don't believe you don't as you're mining it!

BEWARE SCAM!A Guide on how to set your droplet to auto start ptsminer on bootNice work! A very clear guide. Very well done..
Note: I assume you followed "bitshirehashaway" instructions to the letter. If you changed something (e.g. ptsminer install path), you might need to change some stuff.
1. First we need to edit the /etc/rc.local file in a text editor, so enter the following command in the terminal:Code: [Select]nano /etc/rc.local
2. In the text editor (nano), insert the following line right before the last line ("exit 0"):Code: [Select]/usr/local/bin/launch_ptsminer.sh 60 &
Save the file and exit the text editor (CTRL+X).
3. Now let's create the ptsminer startup script. Enter the following command:Code: [Select]nano /usr/local/bin/launch_ptsminer.sh
4. In the text editor paste the following text:Code: [Select]#!/bin/bashReplace <your PTS address> with your actual wallet address and <number of threads> with the number of cores.
DEFAULT_DELAY=0
if [ "x$1" = "x" -o "x$1" = "xnone" ]; then
DELAY=$DEFAULT_DELAY
else
DELAY=$1
fi
sleep $DELAY
echo "About to run ptsminer"
cd /root/ptsminer/src
./ptsminer <your PTS address> <number of threads>
Save the file and exit the text editor.
5. Run the following commands and click enter after each one:Code: [Select]chmod +x /usr/local/bin/launch_ptsminer.sh
chown root:root /usr/local/bin/launch_ptsminer.sh
That's it, you're done!
We configured the OS to run "launch_ptsminer.sh" 60 seconds after system boot. The "launch_ptsminer.sh" script executes the ptsminer. So go a head and try it out by restarting the system (cmd: "shutdown -r now") and then check out your process list (cmd: "top").
If this guide helped you to mine some coins please send your tips to:

Thanks!
P.S.
You can use this steps to create auto run scripts for other CPU miners (just play with the last 2 lines of "launch_ptsminer.sh").
If the OP isn't actually paying people, then that would be scamming. The OP gets $10 via Paypal for EVERY referral. Who knows how many people signed up? If people are getting paid, that's great. Why would someone lie about not getting paid? Why lie about paying people - well, to continue a scam.

BitShares PTS / Re: mining hardware help
« on: December 14, 2013, 06:42:18 am »
If you really want to build a rig for mining, the cheapest way is with a FX-6100 or some other FX-series 6-core. Add to that, 4GB of RAM (512MB per thread is sufficient - 1GB is plenty for a lightweight Linux distro and a dedicated miner.. 6GB might be better if it's multipurpose). No hard drive needed - you can boot a Linux Live USB, run the whole OS on your RAM, use persistent storage on the USB if you need to save anything.
No special heatsink needed unless you overclock.
400W PSU is plenty, even with a mild overclock. I'd go with 500-550W because it's roughly the same price as a 400W.
Total should be sub-$400, even $300 is possible if you keep a strict budget. Most likely won't pay off. Over 50% of the total PTS have already been mined, difficulty went way up. ROI could take 8 months, easily.
It *might* exist, just like I might be a billionaire if I claim to be. Without proof, it's kind of a moot point. Even moreso when, assuming a GPU miner exists, nobody will release it to the public.
So, it doesn't help the original poster at all.

BitShares PTS / Re: [ANN] ptsweb.beeeeer.org - Protoshares mining sub-pool
« on: December 13, 2013, 11:55:06 pm »
Yep, this new difficulty increase was harsh. I'm 16 hours in with the HP Cloud on a 4XL server, 10 hours' worth paid out and that's only ~0.07. I might get 0.21 total, maybe a little more before the ~26.5 hours ($50) free runs up.
Kind of sad really.. $50 worth of server time, $5 worth of PTS. But free money is money.

BitShares PTS / Re: Anyone else on Ypool experiencing worse mining today?
« on: December 13, 2013, 11:49:56 pm »
Then, what pool is better?
I use http://ptsweb.beeeeer.org/ . I can't say that it's better, but the fee is only 3%. You'd have to test both, see which one is better after factoring in the fees. Ypool claims to be faster - I tried it once but had some issues with it in Debian.
Anyway, the payout for every mining method drops when difficulty goes up and block size decreases.

BitShares PTS / Re: Anyone else on Ypool experiencing worse mining today?
« on: December 13, 2013, 08:19:58 pm »Hi,
My earnings has decreased too with that new "share" change. All my machines are working as usual.
I have notified some disconnects from my machines due to last connection is 1 hour ago. I think that the problem comes from Ypool, but not sure.
I have read something about other pts pools and I want to ask something:
If is better mine directly to my pts wallet, why I only find miners associated to pools? Could anyone tell me a directly miner to my wallet?
Thank you!
You're gambling if you solo mine. The Protoshare-0.2 wallet allows you to solo mine. The issue with solo mining is, where you'd get ~0.9 PTS if you make 4% of the shares on a given block in a pool (say that's 5,000 shares), you'd only have a 4% chance of getting the anything if you mine solo. You would get 22.1 PTS instead of 1 PTS, but much less likely. As time goes on, difficulty increases and your odds of finding a block by solo-mining decrease. It could take on average, a month to find a block if you're currently making 22 PTS/month. The issue is.. a month from now, a block might only be 19 PTS, and difficulty could go up another 10% (or however much), meaning you'd be most likely to find a block in perhaps 35 days, and a much smaller block at that.
So, even with the 3% pool fee, you're much better off mining in a pool, long-term. Unless, you have a ton of computing power - something where you could expect to find a block solo within 2 weeks - you'd probably need the equivalent of 50 server cores (which doesn't seem profitable, unless you have free trials or a server of your own).

BitShares PTS / Re: [ANN] ptsweb.beeeeer.org - Protoshares mining sub-pool
« on: December 08, 2013, 04:12:02 am »@BTC2084
I think the collisions are a good thing but I am confused on why I have so many collisions that result in shares submitted and only get paid on a few. I am currently running 14 threads and am getting around 5000 collisions per day and only get paid on about 22 per day.
I think it works this way (although I have asked and nobody has responded):
- Each collision results in either a SHARE or a REJECTED response.
- Each SHARE represents your part of a Block or Chain (not sure of the correct terminology)
- You do NOT get paid per SHARE.
- You get paid on multiple SHARE submissions in the same Block or Chain. If I submit 40 SHAREs in the same Block/Chain I might get paid .00156 but if I submit 250 SHAREs in the same Block/Chain I might get paid .0146 for the work that my miners did on that particular Block/Chain.
I am just guessing that this is how it works based on my experience. It seems that as the difficulty has risen (and the value of PTS) the payouts have gotten few and far between. But Xolo's pool is the best by far. The dude is dedicated.
Feel free to correct me on any incorrect assumptions.
Gilligan~
Gilligan, I think you are confusing shares/minute and collisions/minute. You only get paid for the shares. Collision = COULD BE A SHARE, COULD BE NOTHING. If it prints a new line, it's a share or reject. If you do perhaps 100 collisions per minute, you might get 5 shares per minute. The miner keeps a running tally of the number of shares. Every time a new line is printed that says either Share or reject, it gets added to the tally.
1. Collision - nothing is printed UNLESS... (see 2)
2. If the collision is a share, it prints "collision is found"
3. Same print, next line: "share submitted"
4. If it's a share, prints "SHARE" on the next line
5. If it's a rejected share, prints 'REJECTED" on the next line.
Now, if you're running 14 cores, only having 22 shares a day is laughably low. Figure out what's wrong.
These are my stats, from running my laptop getting ~1 share/minute, plus 20 cores on Azure (doing 250 or so c/m, probably 10+ish shares/min).
29758 2013-12-08 03:31:27 1465 / 1615041 -> 0.02180 PTS / 24.03 PTS -> block waiting for confirmations
29706 2013-12-08 00:38:29 1324 / 1453678 -> 0.02188 PTS / 24.02 PTS -> block waiting for confirmations
29656 2013-12-07 21:55:48 148 / 177692 -> 0.02000 PTS / 24.02 PTS -> block waiting for confirmations
29650 2013-12-07 21:34:19 77 / 79565 -> 0.02324 PTS / 24.02 PTS -> block waiting for confirmations
So, over 6 hours, I have about 3000 shares - 500 an hour, 8.25 a minute, roughly.
What CPU, have you checked on your miner to see what it's printing out, etc? I have ~6% rejected on my dual-core laptop, servers are all around 1%, maybe less rejected.
Another thing you could have wrong - did you incorrectly type in your wallet address on any of your miners?
It looks like almost everyone has a ratio ~30 collisions per share. Could be a little more/less. It's not that you're not being paid for 97% of your collisions, you need X amount of collisions (on average) to get a share. Or maybe 30(ish) collisions = 1 share.No way around it, and it's nothing to do with inefficiency. If everyone got 1 collision = 1 share, PTS would've been entirely mined out 2 weeks ago. The whole way cryptography works is, there's a lot of guessing if you don't know how to break the encryption. 99.99999999% of the work done is guesswork, but there's no way around it.

BitShares PTS / Re: Cloud mining Guide Protoshares - for ypool [working]
« on: December 03, 2013, 07:58:31 am »People, should we really allow referral for 1st post? With all the cloud guides already here, that looks like spam to me...
It's spam, but everyone else is doing it.
I just want to point out to everyone, DigitalOcean cloud mining IS NOT profitable if you're paying with cash, so just add a credit card or prepaid debit card. Use the $10 free credits and trash it. I mined 1.3 PTS from a combined $55 between Windows Azure and DigitalOcean. The Azure ones were 2x 8 cores (Linux) and 1x 4 core (Linux), whereas the DO ones only had 10 cores total for me (1/3 of total output - 0.4 PTS from $10, being generous). It's possibly break-even, but depends completely on PTS going up in price - you're better off just buying PTS.

Anyone using DigitalOcean, I'd delete the servers so you don't get charged for the downtime. Windows Azure, you can just shut them down inside the management console (ie, through windowsazure.com), won't get charged while they're off.
