Mining Begins November 5, 08:08:08 UTC

So I added the nodes and it seems to be working. 

"blocks" : 4140,
"currentblocksize" : 1192,
"currentblocktx" : 1,
"difficulty" : 0.00000382,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : false,
"genproclimit" : 3,
"hashespermin" : 9.52636850,
"pooledtx" : 2,
"testnet" : false

Does this look correct?  What about the "generate" : false?  Should it be set to true.  If so, what is the command to do this?

Been running for 3 hours with no errors.  At what point should I find a block?

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm new to this and I have the following error on Wallet when I start it up, "No Block source available".  How can I resolve this?

Here's what I've done so far. 

-Downloaded and installed the Windows ProtoShares-qt
-Encrypt Wallet

Is there something else I need to do? 

The computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and has a wired network connection and no firewall.

Also, do I need to setup a different wallet passphrase on each computer I install ProtoShares-qt?

Thank You.

You'll need to add nodes to connect to other peers to download the blockchain. In the wallet, under Help > Debug Window > Console , enter the following one line at a time to try connect to these peers.

addnode 198.154.60.183
addnode 162.243.48.239
addnode 198.199.74.126
addnode 198.211.117.209
addnode 162.213.155.46
addnode 192.199.250.136
addnode 192.241.255.25
addnode 146.185.174.136

Once you've connected to at least one, then you can ignore the rest.

Anyone else having a problem with Protoshares windows program shutting down?  I get a visual C++ error popup 2-4 times/day and it says something about protoshares shutting down for unexpected reason, and to notify software developers of problem?

My specs are similar to yours except I have 16gb, when I was running Armory Wallet and Bitshares mining on 3 threads, I had the same problem plus a really stale block.  I switched to two threads and it worked great, switched off armory and switched back on three threads and did great.  Found two blocks since then.

Just send 140 protoshares over to my main wallet fee 0.01 - is that enough? do you even need a fee at this state? or did I mess up and have to wait days for tx? :S

The block rate is very quick for couple more hours so there are orphans that cause delays.    It should clear up.

I just transferred pts to my main wallet as well (near instant). I didn't pay any fees.

Ok... I am getting tired of this... shut down again for 3rd time today... and it takes 10-15 minutes to see any real hashing activity after I restart?  Hoo Boy....

I tried running multiple instance again today, by creating a directory on separate drive and here is error i get....Cannot obtain a lock on data directory, Protoshares is probably already running.   Help anyone?  what is trick?

This is what I did

Original directory containing the 1st instance of Protoshare
C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares

I duplicated \ProtoShares directory calling \ProtoShares2 e.g., also I deleted the wallet cause I wanted seperate wallets.

So I have 2 data directories
C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares
C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares2

Inside protoshares.conf original port is 3888, the 2nd instance must be different e.g. 3889

To start a 2nd instance I created a shortcut to execute protoshares-qt.exe as below.

protoshares-qt.exe -port=3889 -datadir=C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares2

I'm running win7 x64 with 2 instance (3 threads each) on i7-2600k. No errors or issues encountered so far.
