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

[recci]

Thanks that helped, it is running faster!

[Silver_Pharaoh]

I just used wine and it seems to work.

What is the difference between avx, sse4,  sph ?   

I am running an intel core I5 on ubuntu with the experimental client, what is the best settings for me?

Also I assume when running the experimental client you dont need to put in -poolip=ptsmine.beeeeer.org -poolport=1337 or that?

Use AVX for i5's.
Here's my command line to help you out:

ptsminer_avx_intel.exe PTS_address_here  4 28 avx
                                                                      |   |   |
                                                         # of cores |   |
                                   use 1024MB of RAM/thread |
                                                                   use AVX
Just replace PTS_address_here with your address and run it. this will work if you have a quad core i5 and at least 6 GB of RAM.

Yes, I have the satellite connection. Ping at the time of this post was about 900 ms, which is nice considering we have 2 feet of snow and it's still snowing.

My brother can play Runescape and Mario Kart 7 without issues over my satellite internet...

@recci: try these command line : http://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=722.0

bitshirehashaway says it's for Debian, but it was running ok on my EC2 spot instance running Ubuntu 13 x64

Good luck !

Is there a guide anywhere that explains how to get this running on Ubuntu? I’m not to clued up on building executables and stuff.

[xolokram]

@Silver_Pharaoh:
that's a really dirty workaround but when it's working i'm fine with it
i was thinking about your problem yesterday and it's really odd, you were the one with the satelite connection?!

@HaunterV:
can you add a line:

Code: [Select]

pauseto the end of the .bat
and run it again? and post the complete output of the miner (+ the command you use to start it (remove your payout address))

@montecristo83+flashoftheblades:
thank you for helping

@xolokram

Please disregard my post above, I have found a cheap fix to my miner :

echo Run PTS miner for 30 Mins...
TIMEOUT /T 1920 /NOBREAK

taskkill /F /IM ptsminer_avx_intel.exe
start ptsminer_avx_3cores_3gb.bat  (runs the miner .bat)
Run_Pts_3core.bat                            (runs this .bat again to kill and restart the miner)
pause >nul

Put this inside a .bat and it will launch and kill the miner every 30 minutes! Problem solved, no more "dropped shares" .

Keep up the good work Xolo, your doing great!

[montecristo83]

Is it working correctly?

Yes. Whenever you see 1 c/m or higher and eventually shares being submitted, it's working.

[Makin91]

I'm running this on cloud azure now and when i launch it i see this

I have AMD proccesor 8 cores

Is it working correctly?
i'm really new, and sorry if its a dumb question.

[flashoftheblades]

Bought a cloud droplet, signed in through my local terminal and ran the command posted in the how to thread, got back a bunch of code that I don't understand. How can I verify that I'm mining?

http://ptsweb.beeeeer.org/user/Pp9vuZh9xPRm9iyAgdnJxV8atefuZCa8xN

You're going to have to be a little more specific than that. You can just wait a while and see if the stat page updates. You should also be seeing the application finding collisions and saying that the share was submitted. Keep in mind, that unless you suspended the process to a screen session, then it probably stopped if you closed your SSH session.

But still when I run the (ptsminer_64bit_avxsse) it closes immediately. It has however added a bunch of other files n such in the folder I'm running the miner from.
I'm missing something aren't I? Because I'm fairly certain using the ( ProtoShares-0.2.0) miner will get me exactly 0 shares mined form here until doomsday.

are you running an avx processor?

@xolokram

Xolo, I finally figured out why my miner stops sending shares! See the pic below:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7OL6MIZst3YTTAtd2hDZWFILWc/edit?usp=sharing

The miner found 2 collsions, but only sent one. After that, the miner doesn't send anymore collisions to the server, and it found the next collisions (that it doesn't send) within seconds of each other for some reason.
So it looks like my miner finds collisions to fast for it to send or something?

[xolokram]

@cjrhoades:
it's a known issue, it happens on rare occasions on a block round of received work
i'll work on that asap

@Gekko:
maybe your RAM access is the bottleneck
thus using more RAM keeps your CPU waiting for data

@wolf95:
like jedixjarf said, maybe you're using the wrong parameter for your miner
