I have concluded that I need to exit the fixed-price per-share market and adopt a model similar to the other pools.   I am looking for someone who would like to run a traditional pool on behalf of Invictus and split the fees.   Please contact me if you would like to set that up.

PM'd

15% fee now?

edit: i see it says that a couple pages ago, jeez thats high.  especially when just 3 days ago you wrote:

"I am going to set the fee to 0% for the next week to compensate everyone for downtime and bugs."

switching pools for now, 15% is ridic

Blocks are flying very quickly again with a lot of blocks being lost as orphans.  I am going to have to increase the effective difficulty or lose money,  fees are going up to 15% until the next difficulty increase, then I will restore 5% fees.  Thank you for understanding.

anything i can do? i'm still on for a few hours.

I would guess your next chain will have an very high starting difficulty and simply let the algorithm lower it down over time?   :D

Yes and it will have a continuous moving window of difficulty adjustment.

I thought I would mention this, a Chinese fiat/PTS exchange trading at 17.45 CYN => $2.86

http://www.btc38.com/trade.html?btc38_trade_coin_name=pts

With an average PC able to earn 2-3 PTS /day right now, there is a 3x profit over cost of electricity to mine.   After the next difficulty adjustment we may be approaching the cost of electricity which should slow things down a bit.

that is unless the price goes up!!!

And it will :)    I have solid intelligence that a top 3 BTC exchange will be listing PTS within a week.   Note: we did not partner with them... they are doing this on their own initiative.

who can tell me the "3BCT" address?thanks.

Great news, as long as it's not mcx... :)

Either top or ideally htop (break down by thread)

Sorry pal.

I didn't get it.

Would you elaborate more on that please.

I'm a damn poor noobie...

'top' and 'htop' are both commands you can type in linux that will show you the processes that are running as well as more advanced info.

if you are running ubuntu or debian, and htop is not installed type: sudo apt-get install htop

Thanks for your patience!

I'm just gonna add one more (htop) software to my "ubuntu default must-have list".

And lets get going with this mining stuff!

Good news indeed :D

At the command line run:
top , then press 1 to see the cpu usage per processor (first column)

Alternatively you can install htop, which is a nicer version (imo). To do that you would need :
sudo apt-get install htop
htop

All of the coyote_miner processes should be at the top, with the first line being the total of all and the rest being the individual threads. I like to hit F5 for the tree view.

Now unless you changed the number of threads it uses, it should be using all of them. Though as mentioned above it seems to need more than one instance per 8 threads..
