bytemaster,
I think the problem occurs when adding or removing another miner using the same pts address.   I experienced it in both cases (adding and removing).   I've since switched to unique addresses for each miner.   When using unique addresses I have not seen the balance / paid reset to 0.   My experience is across 15 linux miners.

I hope this information hopes a little bit.

I can confirm this.  I had to reconnect my 5 server miners that use the same address, and my balance of 4.3 PTS got reset to 0. 

DO NOT USE THE SAME ADDRESS FOR MULTIPLE MINERS!

I will have a fix for this ASAP!  Good detective work guys.

I'm happy to report that it works like a charm.
I've updated the source code.
Feel free to test it for yourself.


It correctly finds nonce collisions and follows all the predictions made in my earlier post.
I've conclusively demonstrated that memory requirements can be scaled arbitrarily while retaining an equivalent memory-to-computation ratio.  Latency has been made a non-issue due to immediate return on collision detection and external thread termination.

Here's a snippet of what the output looks like using CHAIN_LENGTH = 4:

Wow, this looks good.... I need to understand it a bit better first.    You have come up with a new algorithm, how many HPM do you get with it on a CPU and how much RAM are you using?

Someone is adding a lot of hash power to the network right now and the average block time is around 20 seconds. 

20 seconds is insane and it will result in a lot of orphans... fortunately for you that is my problem because I pay-per-hash.
20 seconds also means a lot of stales... new block shows up before your share does.  This is your problem because I don't count these.  At 20 second intervals, a 1 second ping time means 5% stale automatically.

This is all just another form of seeing the difficulty increase.   It is still a lottery system :)

where is PTS ?



Looks like I have a random glitch that I will fix in the morning I'll make sure you get paid.

In order to bring the profitability down to 'break even' with mining, we will need to add 28x as many miners even if the price holds at 0.004 BTS...  However many miners are holding for keeps which means they will continue mining at .005+

Market forces will take care of everything from here :)

BitShares PTS / Mining Profits!
« on: November 10, 2013, 07:08:11 am »
Solo Mining Cost:          1 week to find a block of 40 at 100 watts/hr at 0.10 per KWH    =>  $1.60
Solo Mining Revenue:    0.004 BTC * 40 * $300                                                            =>  $48

Profit:  $46.40 per machine!

Difficulty will adjust in 12 hours or so...  changing the equation slightly:   

Solo Mining Cost:          1 week to find a block of 40 at 400 watts/hr at 0.10 per KWH    =>  $6.40
Solo Mining Revenue:    0.004 BTC * 38 * $300                                                            =>  $45

Profit:  $39.40 per machine!

At these prices people will be throwing everything they can get at mining this thing and that means increasing the hash power by 28x assuming the price remains constant...

Yikes!

Question..

Should I hold on to my PTS or sell asap?

I am going for as much as I can get.  I am actively doing things to add value to the currency, it can only go up from here.    Your actual milage may vary.   Think of this like stock in the ideas of Invictus Innovations and the potential future value of those ideas.

Can you post updated block stat for last 2 hours, very interesting  :)

I don't have hourly stats, just summary... but since I started the pool I have paid out 7500 PTS
I have 2700 machines mining on my pool
I have 700 pool shares per minute which I estimate equates to 60K HPM

I don't have time at the moment to go through your method, but does momentum_verify(...) work on your results?

This sounds useless at first, but consider the following: given that we can arbitrarily scale the memory requirements, the only limiting factor how fast we can find collisions is our brute computing power.  What's good at brute computing power?  GPUs and ASICs.

This may be true for bandwidth of calculations, but what of latency?    Suppose you turn this from a 1 minute search into a 768 minute search... if you perform it a billion times in parallel you will have amazing bandwidth, but terrible latency.

pool-miner is running good now... getting 31.3 hpm on this MacBook Pro Retina!   that is nearly twice as fast as my 16 core xeon Dell Poweredge server...  amazing.


I feel something wrong with your server. My 8 core xeon server gives me 30hpm.

Server does not calculate hash rate, that is all calculated locally from actual hashes found.

He's working on editing the miner so that you can set the # of processes used. Instead of being optimized for 8. I'm anxiously awaiting it too so I can use a machine with more than 8. @bytemaster, Do you think it will be available tonight?

What time zone are you in?
US central

Ok.. working on Mac version first, then Linux... windows may be in the morning.
