@geminiyellow when you mined a block, the pts will appear automatically in your wallet.

it sounds difficult.and, now my block is increase from 4514 to 4570,i means i mining?

« on: November 07, 2013, 06:01:48 am »help
shall i build a conf file just like protoshares.conf with IP addnode written and then put it in the documents?
thx !
If you have problem connecting to other peers then yes. You can also addnode directly from the wallet. Go to Help>Debug Window>Console
Type in these few ips one line at a time, I'm currently connected to these peers. Once you get connected to a few, future connections should be no problem.
addnode 162.243.34.76
addnode 54.254.192.95
addnode 54.219.166.105
addnode 54.207.21.146

BitShares PTS / Mini Guide to Run Multiple Instance of ProtoShares for Windows
« on: November 07, 2013, 04:34:11 am »
This is just a slightly more detailed mini guide to run multiple instances of ProtoShare Client in windows. Credits to FreeTrade who posted the how-to in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=325261.0.
Example of ProtoShare client location
-------------------------------------
C:\Program Files (x86)\ProtoShares
Default data directory location
-------------------------------
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares
Steps
-----
1) First create a protoshares.conf file. Create a new .txt file in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares and rename to protoshares.conf
Edit protoshares.conf with notepad and insert the following without the (description):
port=3888 (Default protoshare port)
gen=1 (Gen=1 will cause the client to start mining upon launch)
genproclimit=x (x is the max number of threads with win32 client; Also ram dependent)
2) Next I duplicated C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares directory and created C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares2, so now I have two data directories:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares2
I deleted the wallet from ProtoShares2 directory because I wanted a separate wallet. Inside ProtoShares2 directory, edit protoshares.conf with notepad:
port=xxxx <= Must change this to another port address e.g. 3889
gen=1
genproclimit=x
3) To launch ProtoShares Client:
1st Instance - Execute "C:\Program Files (x86)\ProtoShares\protoshares-qt.exe" (As normal just double-click)
2nd Instance - Execute "C:\Program Files (x86)\ProtoShares\protoshares-qt.exe -port=xxxx -datadir=C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares2"
You can use a shortcut or .bat file to launch the 2nd Instance.
Hope you find this useful. Good luck.

Sent you 0.25. Just a note there is a bug with 'generate : false'. Since your hashpermin is positive, just check if there is processor load from task manager. Mining now will be a bit of luck.
thankyou @ryen, i use mac. how to check?
Sorry but I'm not a mac user. There should be somewhere to check processor utilization. But I'm pretty sure yours is running otherwise haspermin would be zero.

« on: November 06, 2013, 07:07:44 pm »Hi,
I'm new to this and I have the following error on Wallet when I start it up, "No Block source available". How can I resolve this?
Here's what I've done so far.
-Downloaded and installed the Windows ProtoShares-qt
-Encrypt Wallet
Is there something else I need to do?
The computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and has a wired network connection and no firewall.
Also, do I need to setup a different wallet passphrase on each computer I install ProtoShares-qt?
Thank You.
You'll need to add nodes to connect to other peers to download the blockchain. In the wallet, under Help > Debug Window > Console , enter the following one line at a time to try connect to these peers.
addnode 198.154.60.183
addnode 162.243.48.239
addnode 198.199.74.126
addnode 198.211.117.209
addnode 162.213.155.46
addnode 192.199.250.136
addnode 192.241.255.25
addnode 146.185.174.136
Once you've connected to at least one, then you can ignore the rest.

I just transferred pts to my main wallet as well (near instant). I didn't pay any fees.

« on: November 06, 2013, 05:43:42 pm »Ok... I am getting tired of this... shut down again for 3rd time today... and it takes 10-15 minutes to see any real hashing activity after I restart? Hoo Boy....
I tried running multiple instance again today, by creating a directory on separate drive and here is error i get....Cannot obtain a lock on data directory, Protoshares is probably already running. Help anyone? what is trick?
This is what I did
Original directory containing the 1st instance of Protoshare
C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares
I duplicated \ProtoShares directory calling \ProtoShares2 e.g., also I deleted the wallet cause I wanted seperate wallets.
So I have 2 data directories
C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares
C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares2
Inside protoshares.conf original port is 3888, the 2nd instance must be different e.g. 3889
To start a 2nd instance I created a shortcut to execute protoshares-qt.exe as below.
protoshares-qt.exe -port=3889 -datadir=C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares2
