Hi,

my ptsminer v0.4 "next try hotfix"

Client / Miner:

linux / mac / github: source code here
windows binary: ptsminer_v04_x32.zip (32 Bit, supports up to 3 threads due to 32bit limitation)
windows binary: ptsminer_v04_x64.zip (64 Bit - more threads & faster!!)

usage:
ptsminer -poolip=ptsmine.beeeeer.org -poolport=1337 -pooluser=[your-payout-address] -genproclimit=[threads-to-use]

website:
ptsweb.beeeeer.org

some notes: !!! please read !!!
a) it's not possible to completely erase the rejection rate problem (especially at the current insane blocktime), but the patch/hotfix should reduce the problems!!
b) important: i changed the hashrate counter to count only valid iterations of the mining process (which v0.1, 0.2 & 0.3, and propably alpha miner? don't do!!!), thus your displayed hashrate is lower now --- but due to the changes i made for the rejection rate the miner is more effictive --- long story short: please only compare v0.4 against v0.4+ or the amount of submitted valid shares per hour (or similiar) regarding mining performance
c) i've added some changes to the MacOSX compilation file, can someone test if this works now? (i dont have a suitable test environment) macosx fix incoming
d) i'll look into the occasional random crashs next... give me some time

ps. there will be some downtime of the pool for a few minutes (in a few minutes) as i have to update the backend for the blockchain fork...
pps. i'm sorry about the inconvenience the last patch caused

it's a custom protocol. you should use my miner, see the first post in this thread.
but i'm currently working on a fix for a share rejection problem. you should monitor this thread.

hi

you'll need a protoshares address / wallet (get the client here (official site seems to be down?!))

unfortunately, there are no mining/tweaking parameters yet --- i'll look into that when i have the time

speaking of finding blocks, we've found a block which needs ~80 confirmations until payout *yippie*

yup, ptspool (or whatever name it has) is pretty dominant --- which is actually pretty bad for the overall network/coin, but no one seems to give a f---
i dont know how big bytemaster's pool is & i think there are still some people out there solomining

no, the payouts are were not going to the big miners
the payouts are were going to no one at all (incl. the pool), because almost all blocks we find are we've found were orphans
i'll have to check the backend, i guess it had something to do with the stuck backend i fixed a few hours ago - i didn't thought it had such an big impact

/edit: i'll test some things on the pool side, expect some hickups done

the payout script is already running and everything looks ok
there's just a delay, because i only pay for confirmed blocks (confirmations needed: 120)
check the payouts info page
