Ummm when I first found out about ProtoShares, I was actually at a website and downloaded a 0.20 ProtoShares Wallet that had mining enable really. Later after research and exploring and such. I noticed there was a new wallet but it was rebranded it different called BitShares -PTS Wallet. Please tell me these aren't two seperate wallets, in a way. Yes I know they have seperate address. Yet I've been mining on ypool.net and really its all tagged ProtoShares; yet I used the BitShares-PTS Wallet address on the pool. Thinking it was just a rebranded wallet for a version and such. Can anyone elaborate?

Well right now I have: Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB,  8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3,  2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo its a Mac Mini, I control the Fan speed with iStat Menu's. Actually last night I went to go mine a coin, and I use Poolers CPU miner alone with Asteroid GUIMiner, Poolers CPU miner was pumping out better hash rates, and I left both to mine, sometimes have a hash rate of 25 KHash/s with both. My temp was around 70 C the whole time. I have another computer a PC that I have to fix, its have two CPU's and a Geforece3 with 64mb and I think 2-4 GB of ram, 32 bit. its older, but could use it as a worker headless. I plan on buying some equipment but am unsure what to buy yet.

- Also, am trying to understand how PTS is different in the fact with mining. Someone said you ca't use say Poolers CPU miner. So exactly what am I mining, a scrypt coin or a sha coin? Or is the PTS Share a completely different coin, besides it being a share which I read up and understand the PTS and AGS.

Thanks for replying back, and I have the new wallet also.

Hi am used to mining in pools and such. I did notice on GitHub they have a 1.00 version wallet, but it seems the mining features are taken out and hence has been rebranded compared to the site I got this Protoshares wallet from which has it has 0.20. I managed to add nodes and sync to the network and my data is up to date. Am also mining as well from what I can tell doing 4threads. Am running on a mac os x.

Usually with wallets they put a folder in user/library/coinname/ and have have the block dat, and such info, this I believe is also where you would usually put a .conf file as well I think. Yet I don't see one that was made for this wallet, so i don't even know where that information was downloaded too! Anybody know or can help out? Also since am used to mining in a pool, how does it all work when mining from the wallet solo with the network and such? Like I don't have a worker or anything just my wallet address, unless the .config file has the info. So am a little lost how it all works and is there anything else that I have to do on my part. Can you help me understand, thanks.

- My other question is I did the getmininginfo in console, HERE is my information: Is this info correct? I mean I notice some people have generate as either true or false from what I tell on the posts I read. Also what goes it all mean?

{
"blocks" : 52937,
"currentblocksize" : 58595,
"currentblocktx" : 22,
"difficulty" : 0.01724706,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : false,
"genproclimit" : 4,
"collisionspermin" : 7.14771954,
"pooledtx" : 32,
"testnet" : false
}

- My other question is now that I notice is the help command in console, I pressed it and lists all the commands. I noticed you can set generate to true and I have done that. I still don't know what it does. Nor what the rest of these commands actually do, hence nobody put a descrition anywhere and I can't find that answer.:

Again thanks for the help am really interested in this.
