thanks, it does appear the the 3-4hr gap was a large-ish block.

since you removed the payout barrier, how does that work exactly. im still showing .327xx PTS on my user page.

[afr33sl4ve]

I just want to use this post to say thank you for all your hard work!

[xolokram]

@jedixjarf:
it's working here (and for 3000+ other miners), check your connection

@gsrcrxsi:

the payouts depend on the (120) confirmations of the found blocks. thus if there's a gap between to found block because of the randomness (bad luck) then there will be a gap for the payouts too.

@Silver_Pharaoh:
the latency shouldn't affect the communication too much (except causing some rejects)
but not sending / receiving data properly at all is really strange

@all:
i removed the payout barrier (still some people have to reach the minimum value for a valid transaction (0.0001 PTS))
(it will probably be re-activated once all abandoned addresses are gone)

too many PMs about abandoned addresses & complains about "stuck" payouts

- xolokram

ps. this will be next
pps. payout barrier changed to 0.2

[gsrcrxsi]

 is this thing crunching another very large block?

im also at .32xxx PTS with no payout and no updates on new blocks. 

[Silver_Pharaoh]

@Silver_Pharaoh:
v0.5 & v0.4 work too, i'm kinda riddled by your issue...


- xolokram

ps. i'll implement the 'pay abandoned addresses' script now

@xolokram

Don't feel bad bro, I'm stumped too. I used the 0.5 miner (not the 0.5a version) and it too failed to submit shares.

Since this has never happened before on the 0.5a and 0.5 miner, did you update your servers? Maybe something broke it. Or is it because I have a 800 ms ping time?


This won't be an issue if I can get some help to make a batch file to restart the miner every hour... Does anyone know how to do this using .bat files?

[HaunterV]

@HaunterV:
windows? you have to edit the .bat file and run it

Yes Windows.

I'll try, again.

[Gekko]

@Gekko:
which OS?
let me re-check the no-chrono makefile

Ubuntu 13.10 64bit

Edit: btw: same error (Segmentation fault) when compiling with makefile.unix !

Edit 2: SOLVED! The machine has only 512MB RAM. Starting ptsminer with option "26" (256MB) works!

[xolokram]

@HaunterV:
windows? you have to edit the .bat file and run it

@goldtiger:
nope, i've not seen the post. i guess they just linked to my github and the current version is using a hardcoded pool address, i should re-add a convenient method for parameters
but i've seen this
"YPool is officially boycotted until they fix the 'bug' preventing them from processing transactions. Please use other pools."
a little too late imho and i guess they won't give a fu--

@lordfirefox:
can you give us more details on your problem?

@Silver_Pharaoh:
v0.5 & v0.4 work too, i'm kinda riddled by your issue...

@xornof / hayz:
thanks for your help / information

@Gekko:
which OS?
let me re-check the no-chrono makefile

@afr33sl4ve:
it's 'normal', because the payouts depend on confirmations of the found blocks. thus if there's a gap between to found block because of the randomness (bad luck) then there will be a gap for the payouts too.

I'm super new and When I dl and run the thing in the OP it just closes instantly. Is there something I'm missing?

[Gekko]

I'm trying to run ptsminer on a digitalocean.com machine. This is what happens:

No problems with the newest build. C/M count is stable, memory options working again, and rejection rates are w/i usual specs. 10-18% gains over v5. Here are some stats on my rigs.

i7 3930K at 4.7 (12Thread) : 300+ C/M
i7 820 (5T): 110  C/M
Largest Azure servers (8C/16GB, Ubuntu 13) with 8Threads: 100 C/M
i5 3337U (3T): ~75 C/M
i5 3470T (3T): ~90 C/M
Sandy/Ivy Bridge Celerons (2T): ~44 C/M





Thanks for sorting it out, Xolo!

[afr33sl4ve]

@xolokram, do you, or a team of people including yourself, manually update the payout page? I've noticed that during the days hours for me (GMT -7), it updates far more often than during the night hours.

EDIT: Actually, I haven't noticed a single share pop up on mine for over 2 hours now.

EDIT 2: Too 2 hours, but a new one finally showed up. Is this normal behaviour?

[Silver_Pharaoh]

EDIT: can I use the older version of the pts miner still? Or will the server not count the collisions it finds? (like version 0.5 or 0.4)

I may be speaking out of turn, but AFAIK, there was no problems continuing to use the .5a Hotfix1 version, it just doesnt have the AVX/SSE4 instruction set code. I go back and use it when i am troubleshooting an issue on the .7 miner(to eliminate hardware as a cause).  I generally don't see the need to go back to the .4 or earlier versions.

Hope that helps!

Thanks! You mention that the new 0.7 version gives you no issues in Windows... Is anyone else having this issue where the miner fails to send the collisions to the server?

[xornof]

Thank you so much xornof! Waiting for your feedback!

Just got home,  I'll start looking at it in a few minutes... Will let everyone know what i find.


@xolo: FYI - I did get a chance to put the "newer" .7 RC2 windows binaries through the paces on most of my windows servers this afternoon, no issues so far. Thanks!
