Re: ALPHA MINER - 1.5 GB unlimited threads... better HPM Win64 Miner!

When ever I run the POOL_MINER.EXE (windows x64) it runs the benchmark for a while and displays a hashrate but after that it closes and does nothing else. I'm not sure if its a bug or there is some step that I am supposed to do before running the miner :(

Run :

POOL_MINER.EXE the-iland.net <your protoshares address>

Thanks for the response, Nine Lives.  That explains the "shares," although I'm not quite sure why this intermediary is needed.  I.e. why not just denote balances in terms of PTS, i.e. scale shares so that PPS=1?

But is there something wrong with my system in that my hpm is 18, yet I send less than 1 hash per minute?

Ahh OK I think I get it now.  So the "balance" is actually in PTS, and the pps is just the increment in PTS per hash that's deemed sufficiently low.  Ok, kind of obvious in retrospect :)

Thanks ya'll.

One hash isn't one share. If you hash you and you end up with a hash low enough (starting with enough 0s) then it's considered a share, and is sent to the server.

When I "send," my balance goes up by about .04 shares, so that's clear.  But it seems that you are saying that most hashes calculated are discarded, and only those sufficiently low are submitted. 

I'm a total mining newb, so please bear with me. Out of curiosity, why does it work this way?  Aren't all hashes that aren't low enough to mine a block equally useless?  So why would some that are close to low enough be counted for shares, rather than just counting all hashes as shares?  Mining variance would be lowered even further by doing it that way.

Is it a filtering procedure to lower the burden on the mining pool?

Thanks ;)

Whenever I try to start the miner it says "The program can't start because MSVCP110.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Can anyone help me out?

I think I'm not understanding something very basic.  My hpm is around 18, but I only seem to submit less than 1 hash per minute (i.e. when it prints "sending").  The sending events are what increment the valid counter and everything else. 

I thought that what is sent is a hash that is found?  But if that's true, then why does it tell me I'm hashing at 18 per minute, but only submitting less than 1 per minute?

Also - what units is the balance in?  Do you need to multiply the balance by pps to convert it to PTS?

Thanks

I dunno if this answers your question:

Output:

Code: [Select]
valid: 16  invalid: 2  balance: 1.31244  paid: 0  pps: 0.0397708  address: YOUR_PTS_ADDRESS_HERE  hpm: 31.3429
valid = the number of valid shares you have submitted
invalid = stale shares... note there is alway 1 invalid when you first start up...
balance = your balance on a pay-per-share basis
paid = total that have been sent to YOUR_PTS_ADDRESS    (this feature is disabled for now... )

Output:

Code: [Select]
valid: 16  invalid: 2  balance: 1.31244  paid: 0  pps: 0.0397708  address: YOUR_PTS_ADDRESS_HERE  hpm: 31.3429
valid = the number of valid shares you have submitted
invalid = stale shares... note there is alway 1 invalid when you first start up...
balance = your balance on a pay-per-share basis
paid = total that have been sent to YOUR_PTS_ADDRESS    (this feature is disabled for now... )

pps: is the number of PTS per share submitted ... this is the variable and pps is suspect right now...

Question:  is it better to use the same wallet address on all my mining machines or different addresses?  Or it doesn't matter?

the x64 windows miner isn't working  for me,  "The application was unable to start correctly (0x000007b). Click OK to close the application."
I'm having the same problem, tried installing Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 3, but that didn't fix it.
