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

[radicalrob]

.conf file doesn't make any connections.

It starts out with 1 connection, and I have added all of the 'addnode' connections I could find.

listing them one at a time in the debug window gets them started up, but why not in the .conf file?

what is a good .conf file for the -qt?


thanks

[hjlow]

if they are free, yes

Are clouds still cost effective for pool mining pts?

[afr33sl4ve]

Which cloud services do you guys use? I was introduced to it with DigitalOcean, then someone pointed me to HP Cloud (which I'm currently using). After that, the same person pointed me to WarriorVPS, which I'm heavily considering moving to.

DigitalOcean and HP Cloud both have Debian 13, however, WarriorVPS has only Ubuntu. Seeing as Debian and Ubuntu go, practically hand in hand, I see no issue. Anyone wanna sound off?

I got multiple machines mining PTS to ptsweb.beeeeer.
Is there a way to see which machine sends which share on http://ptsweb.beeeeer.org/user/ ?
(I'm not sure if every ptsminer really works)

thanks you , I got it work now!

[jave27]

I just posted fixes for the MacOS build at https://github.com/jave27/ptsminer and submitted a Pull request for xolokram. I'm not positive that the CMake changes will work for Windows or 64-bit Linux, though. That should be tested before it gets merged.

with version 0.7 im getting more reject shares than version 0.5
in 314 shares 67 were rejected
the speed still the same 78m
i dont see an~ything better on version 0.7
im using amd fx8350 8 cores clocked to 4.2ghz

hi,jabbaah
I follow your steps ,butt still get this:

g++ -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now  -o ptsminer  obj/cpuid.o obj/sha512_avx.o obj/sha51                                             2_sse4.o obj/sha512.o obj/sph_sha2.o obj/sph_sha2big.o obj/main_poolminer.o  -Wl                                             ,-Bdynamic -l boost_system -l boost_filesystem -l boost_program_options -l boost                                             _thread-mt -Wl,-Bdynamic -l z -l dl -l pthread
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ptsminer] Error 1

(i just installed glibc-static ,but still not work)

It's missing the zlib file:  /usr/lib64/libz.so

Just install zlib-devel.  (for CentOS 6.3: zlib-devel-1.2.3-29.el6.x86_64)

[gsrcrxsi]

I am also getting some crashing with v0.7

win7 64bit
q9550 (supposed to have sse4.1, but not being reported by cpuz)
8GB ram

running v0.5 works fine (no memory option )

running v0.7 starts, i get a message saying no AVX, and then it switches to SPHLIB, then after receiving work it crashes.

not sure why its trying to failover to SPHLIB first instead of SSE4

hi, i am build ptsminer on centos 6 , it seems better now, bot i got this information:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread


what can i do? i have already installed boost-devel

I checked the ptsminer compilation on a CentOS 6.3 VM now. Following is the way it works...

Use the makefile.unix.no-chrono - fire up your favourite editor and change line 27 as follows:

Old:
   -l boost_thread$(BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX)

New:
   -l boost_thread-mt$(BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX)

Now compile using
make -f makefile.unix.no-chrono clean
make -f makefile.unix.no-chrono

Voilà! You should get a brand new ptsminer on CentOS.  ;-)

[xolokram]

yep, this is pretty much disabling the AVX detection
while keeping the SSE4 detection

i'll be not much around here in the next hours
i hope i can fully get back to the issues (AVX, windows bug) by tomorrow

I'm on a VPS that disables avx.  I also had to comment out the selection of the avx assembly code in sha512.c:

   if (pc->proc_type == PROC_X64_INTEL || pc->proc_type == PROC_X64_AMD) {
      /*if (pc->avx_level > 0) {
         sha512_update_func = sha512_avx;
      } else*/ if (pc->sse_level >= 4) {

Seems to do the job - for me - using "strange behaving" VPS's -  too. Looks good.
