bool InitBlockIndex(): Assertion `hash == hashGenesisBlock' failed.

I think I figured it out. 

The only thing I can vouch for is protsharesd.pro  using qmake. 

Mining will not work unless you can connect to a network so it is hard to do a speed test :).

I will post a benchmark tool for everyone here in a bit :)

I got the same error in mac. Waiting for pull ;)
Is "./bitcoind -gen -daemon &"  the right command to go?
Do we need some special configuration in "protoshares.conf"?

bytemaster, when you created your droplet in digital ocean what parameters did you use?  Maybe that has something to do with it.

2 GB 2 Core.

You are on the right track... once we publish the proper commit you will be good to go.

I compiled src from makefile.unix, got bitcoind.

when I tried to run it, got following

bitcoind: main.cpp:2839: bool InitBlockIndex(): Assertion `hash == hashGenesisBlock' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)


Am I on the good track？

Even I changed system time, it still give me same error. I just want to test speed.

Very interesting error... looks like something didn't link.

I just followed the steps above and everything built for me.  Only thing I changed was installing boost 1.54 from source rather than using the built in version.

I'm failing with the following error when executing --- 'line 29 make' from the instructions.  Ironically, I got the same error will trying to build this with MinWG on Windows.

Okay. Thanks!

As far as I know it operates just like Bitcoin.  FreeTrade set this up and the only changes from Bitcoin 8.5 are to the proof of work and mining rewards. 

You should be able to use the command line API to report your hash rate and report the number of connected nodes and block depth. 

As far as ports go... 3888 simply replaced bitcoins default port.

Fantastic. I'll give that a try. Would you be able to answer my other questions too please?

1.) Do I need to alter any configuration settings (port #, etc) before running it?
2.) How do I generate a Protoshares public/private key pair and set it to send the mining proceeds to that address?
3.) What are the correct firewall setting for this? (Deny all, allow 3888 out only?)
4.) How can I verify that it's working?

Thanks!

Here is the relevant subset of my command history for setting up a fresh Digital Ocean machine:

    2   apt-get install git
    5   apt-get install qt4
    9   apt-get install libboost-all-dev
   15  apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-core libqt4-gui
   18  apt-get install make
   20  apt-get install libssl-dev
   24  apt-get install libdb-dev
   28  apt-get install libdb++-dev
   34  wget http://miniupnp.free.fr/files/download.php?file=miniupnpc-1.5.tar.gz
   35  mv download.php\?file\=miniupnpc-1.5.tar.gz  miniupnpc-1.5.tar.gz
   36  tar -xzvf miniupnpc-1.5.tar.gz
   37  cd miniupnpc-1.5/
   39  make
   40  make install
     
   11  git clone https://github.com/InvictusInnovations/ProtoShares.git
   12  cd ProtoShares/
   16  qmake-qt4 protosharesd.pro
   29  make
   30  make -j2
   31  export LC_ALL=C 

    ./protosharesd .................

Assuming all dependencies are installed....

qmake-qt4  protosharesd.pro
make

More details will follow...

Can someone help me figure how to mine Protoshares on Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) please? Here is what I think I know so far:

# Install dependencies
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

# Download
git clone https://github.com/InvictusInnovations/ProtoShares.git protoshares
cd protoshares

# Compile
cd src
make -f makefile.unix protosharesd

# Usage
protosharesd start
protosharesd stop
protosharesd --help

What dependencies are needed?
Do I need to add/alter a configuration anywhere (port, etc)?
How do I generate a protoshares public/private key pair and set it to send the mining proceeds to that address?
How do I configure UFW (uncomplicated firewall) for P2P software like this? Deny all TCP and allow xxx UDP?
How can I see that it's working?
