Title: Mini Guide to Run Multiple Instance of ProtoShares for Windows Post by: ryen123 on November 07, 2013, 04:17:22 AM This is just a slightly more detailed mini guide to run multiple instances of ProtoShare Client in windows. Credits to FreeTrade who posted the how-to in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=325261.0.
Example of ProtoShare client location ------------------------------------- C:\Program Files (x86)\ProtoShares Default data directory location ------------------------------- C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares Steps ----- 1) First create a protoshares.conf file. Create a new .txt file in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares and rename to protoshares.conf Edit protoshares.conf with notepad and insert the following without the (description): port=3888 (Default protoshare port) gen=1 (Gen=1 will cause the client to start mining upon launch) genproclimit=x (x is the max number of threads with win32 client; Also ram dependent) 2) Next I duplicated C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares directory and created C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares2, so now I have two data directories: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares2 I deleted the wallet from ProtoShares2 directory because I wanted a separate wallet. Inside ProtoShares2 directory, edit protoshares.conf with notepad: port=xxxx <= Must change this to another port address e.g. 3889 gen=1 genproclimit=x 3) To launch ProtoShares Client: 1st Instance - Execute "C:\Program Files (x86)\ProtoShares\protoshares-qt.exe" (As normal just double-click) 2nd Instance - Execute "C:\Program Files (x86)\ProtoShares\protoshares-qt.exe -port=xxxx -datadir=C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares2" You can use a shortcut or .bat file to launch the 2nd Instance. Hope you find this useful. Good luck. Title: Re: Mini Guide to Run Multiple Instance of ProtoShares for Windows Post by: xxrforone on November 12, 2013, 03:44:11 AM good

Is it getting slower as you have more instance active at the same time ? |
