[ANN] ptsweb.beeeeer.org - Protoshares mining sub-pool

[zvs]

EDIT: Nevermind. Reopened the wallet client. Turns out the block chain wasn't updating at all. :\ The transaction is there. Thanks again!

I'm also having this issue.  Eventually the wallet client stops updating even though it still says its connected.  Nothing updates, but everything looks fine and says that's it's connected to the network, until I restart it and find that I'm X number of hours behind.  Then I see my recent payouts.  Trying to figure out what's going on.

Probably because a lot of the time there aren't any nodes with incoming connections to connect to?...  I had a friend that had the same problem, not getting blockchain to update, just told him to addnode 5.9.24.81. 

It's at 135/500 connections right now.  I have it set for only 20 outbound connections.. but when it does lose one, it still takes up to a hundred or two tries on average to find a new node to connect to.

Thanks for this - been trying to find a way to get the wallet to play nice all day. Where did you get that node IP from?

Ah, just now saw the post.  5.9.24.81 is my Hetzner machine.  I used to enjoy filling up the 'hub nodes' list on blockchain.info, but it also caused a lot of problems (people thinking I have lots of bitcoins cause I'm #1 on the list, people thinking I stole their bitcoins cause my IP showed on their transaction, people DDoS'ing me for whatever reason, etc) so I finally repurposed it about 2 weeks ago.  It was on quarks, now it's on protoshares.

..  and it uses the amazing chuck norris subclient

gpu miner for LTC, QRK, XPM, PTS.. but i can not run it:(

[POSSIBLE SCAM]anonymousdelivers.us/94070

[recci]

I hear that its possible to mine pts with GPU's now? Could we not get one of those up and running for the pool? Would be good to get all 4 cores and the gpu blazing away...

[xolokram]

LTC != PTS

fyi the pool is making around 550-800* PTS per day with >5000 miners

- xolokram

* = highly depending on randomness (aka luck) <-- this also applies to every single miner**
** = and miner configuration

[JustHayden]

Someone kept closing my miner before since it was on my home computer, which is why there's time gaps. I'm just saying with the exact same hardware/software, I can mine the same amount of LTC (higher difficulty) as I do here with PTS. All I want to do is mine another 8 PTS before the 24th so I can get myself a founders ID.

I'm more than sure I should be mining more than 0.00733 PTS in a few hours with 16GB RAM and 8CPU's from the cloud mining tutorial link you provided on the pool website.

EDIT: I followed this tutorial for the cloud mining a few hours ago https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=722.0 and started with the 16Gb RAM and 8 CPU's, running 12 threads.

And for my home PC I was running 8GB ram at 7 threads.

[xolokram]

so are you comparing your hardware setups, software or (totally different) coins?
or all together?

all i see (from your screenshot):
you've recently made 0.00941 PTS in 6 hours
before that you've made 0.00965 PTS in 21 hours

i would call that an improvement 

- xolokram

/edit: ok, i see there are quite huge gaps in your stats so i guess you're not mining 24hours a day
what is your miner configuration for these two hardware setups???

[JustHayden]

Yes higher but not by much.  When coyotepool was running, right before it was closed, I was making the same amount I have all together with your pool in half a day with 3x less the power I'm mining with now. I mine LTC at this same speed...

[xolokram]

look at the timestamps
your proportion on a round is higher than before

[JustHayden]

Hey I've been mining on your pool with the 8CPU/16GB from DigitalOcean for a few hours and this is what I've gotten: http://i.imgur.com/lImsrwY.png

Whats up with this mining? I'm making around the same amount of PTS that I did on my home PC with better stats.

[xolokram]

libminiupnp is not needed too

@btc2084(+aleiprecht):
95% collisions? or rejects?
can you send me a log excerpt from your miners showing a few lines before and after rejected shares via PM?

- xolokram

ps. is one of you guys this address: Pg[...]BNWVJ
pps. i've decreased the share target

[jernau]

It would be helpful for new people working under linux to have the following instruction stated in first post:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install yasm -y git make g++ build-essential libminiupnpc-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libboost-all-dev libdb++-dev libgmp-dev libssl-dev dos2unix
git clone https://github.com/thbaumbach/ptsminer
cd ~/ptsminer/src
make -f makefile.unix
./ptsminer <your PTS address> <number of threads>

Yeah, I worked that out myself... Are you sure you need the dos2unix and libssl-dev though? I can compile fine without those two.

[btc2084]

Only 20%? Seems like 95% of my machine's work gets COLLISION.  I'm giving up and switching back to xolominer / primecoin.

After having trust issues with pts.rpool.net, i decided to switch back to b(e-5)r.

Just coming home from dropping my girlfriend to the airport and I found the 3 computers that i had started to mine there where showing between 12% and 20% Rejected shares. WTF

I had the new Update #3 software that is on listed on their site running. Is there something I should know about? 20% of the work the computers are doing rejected?

If it is a client issues, I would love to hear about a solution or a hint what I could do to bring down the REJECTED% Rate...
