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

[jabbaah]

Just read after installing another node using GitHub directly... wondered why it asked me for yasm ;-)

Thus I have a 0.7 running on Debian Linux 7.1 64bit flawlessly now. Seems to make more collisions / min...
(unfortunately no direct comparing possible due to very different nodes...)

Good work! Thanks!

v0.7 crashes on share submit for me, win7 64, default memory settings (no number)

/edit2: i will just re-use this post

new ptsminer v0.7 EXPERIMENTAL/TOO LATE?/BEEEEER EDITION *UPDATED-#3*
for ptsweb.beeeeer.org & #beeeeer.org @ Freenode

linux / github: source code here
windows binary: v0.7 x64 RC1 -> ptsminer_v07b_x64.zip (64 Bit, experimental, fastererer™!!!!!!) *updated-#3* incl. 'rejections-on-a-block-workaround-by-reconnecting'-fix
(containing GENERIC (INTEL&AMD) , SSE4 and AVX version (INTEL&AMD))

new optional parameter, check the usage example below

• AVX / SSE support (thx to glitchboy)
• SPHLIB support
• RAM option (new parameter!)
• smaller rejection problem bugfix
• reduced thread priority of worker-thread

Code: [Select]

choose <version> depending on your CPU and mining implementation you want to use

usage: ptsminer_<version>.exe <payout-address> <threads-to-use> [memory-option] [mode]

memory-option: integer value - memory usage
                20 -->    4 MB per thread (not recommended)
                21 -->    8 MB per thread (not recommended)
                22 -->   16 MB per thread (not recommended)
                23 -->   32 MB per thread (not recommended)
                24 -->   64 MB per thread (not recommended)
                25 -->  128 MB per thread
                26 -->  256 MB per thread
                27 -->  512 MB per thread (default)
                28 --> 1024 MB per thread
                29 --> 2048 MB per thread
                30 --> 4096 MB per thread

mode: string - mining implementation
                avx --> use AVX (ptsminer_avx.exe)
                sse4 --> use SSE4 (ptsminer_avx_*.exe & ptsminer_sse4.exe)
                sph --> use SPHLIB (ptsminer_avx_*.exe, ptsminer_sse4.exe, ptsminer_amd.exe & ptsminer_intel.exe)


examples:
ptsminer_avx.exe PbfspbvSWxYqrp3DpRH7bsrmEqzY3418Ap 4
using AVX on 4 threads and 512 MByte RAM per thread (default)

ptsminer_sse4.exe PbfspbvSWxYqrp3DpRH7bsrmEqzY3418Ap 8 28
using SSE4 on 8 threads and 1024 MByte RAM per thread

ptsminer_intel.exe PbfspbvSWxYqrp3DpRH7bsrmEqzY3418Ap 2 25 sph
using SPHLIB on 2 threads and 128 MByte RAM per thread

ptsminer_avx.exe PbfspbvSWxYqrp3DpRH7bsrmEqzY3418Ap 12 24 sph
using SPHLIB on 12 threads and 64 MByte RAM per thread

build notes:

boost library & YASM required for compilation!

currently the mode parameter has to be set manually on linux machines (fix will come later), no autodetection atm

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install yasm
i expect some problems with the compilation as i've not tested the miner on every linux / mingw distrubution out there... be patient, dont panic

compiler warnings on the SPHLIB files are alright (incl. sph_sha2.c, sph_sha2big.c & md_helper.c)

and next difficulty coming in fast...

problems with compilation? adapt some of the things from --> HERE (thanks to donschoe, don't forget to DONATE!!)

I can't test on OSX. Maybe someone can say if the compilation works on OSX??

KNOWN ISSUES:
1) on Amazon EC2 instances AVX is permitted (?!?) --> the miner crashs <-- SSE version is working fine, you'll have to set SSE4 mode manually
2) OSX compilation errors due to byteswap & *i-forgot-urghs* thread priority(?)

todo:

• abandoned addresses payout script
• fix that bug "crashing after share submission" on windows
• add option to choose mining code optimization manually (avx,sse,sphlib)

ps. cmake file is not up-to-date, i will fix that asap
pps. using 32 bit linux distribution could be problematic... will look into that later
note --- quick dirty 32 bit linux distribution workaround: replace "elf64" in makefile.unix by "elf"

xolo I am having an issue receiving payouts. I am mining PTS using your 0.5Windows miner and the linux miner. I had no problems with your XPM pool, and I have checked my payout address is correct. My local wallet says it is synched. Since yesterday I should have had 3 payouts according to the users page and the payouts page yet my wallet is showing 0.0PTS still.

Edit, Nevermind I checked the block numbers and my wallet was out of sync. After a close and reopen I got it sorted out.

yep, short downtime, but should be ok now, sorry.

and sorry for the rare updates currently, i'm working on a new version for the miner mostly
i'm currently testing sphlib & the avx/sse support glitchboy mentioned (thanks for that)
also i added the memory option (but it looks like 512mb is still the best one (at least for me), but it's always good to have an option)

looks like everything is ok here in the thread, nothing to answer ... wth?

- xolokram

Thanks for your great work.
Will you upload the new version to your git repo? I would love to test it.
The 256MB option is usefull for servers with a lot of cores but less RAM (i have a 24 core with only 8 GB).

plus two but I want to run it on an older system I have here.

I'd run that 24 core @ 12 threads.

Server problems ? It doesn't connect

For me the same - seems to be the server...

[kockabucka]

@devilfish: OK.Thank you. :-)

@xolokram: I have a problem with the v0.5. I have to mine behind firewall therefore I have to route the traffic with haProxy package.
With 0.5 I can not do it because of wired options.

Can you send me an option for me?

0.4 is works but I don't want to loose the updated 0.5 version.

@Devilfish: Magyar vagy? :-)

google is telling me that means "are you hungarian", I'm afraid not, I'm Australian.

those guys really need a graphical interface or something better than their 70's text interface.

nah, bro.

[crazydownloaded]

Read back a few posts.  The payment threshold was lowered to 0.33 due to the diff change.  Your link looks just fine.  The payment rule at the top hasn't been updated so I can understand why it might seem odd if you weren't following this thread.

OK, sorry about this those guys really need a graphical interface or something better than their 70's text interface.
The user page still states "personal payouts are executed, when you reach at least 1.0 pts" btw.
