is this on one machine?

Are you using a service provider such Amazon? If yes, how much does it cost you to run that per hour?

Hey, to compile that for windows x64 what version of mingw64 and gcc should I use?.

Hey, to compile that for windows x64 what version of mingw64 and gcc should I use?.

I used the MXE build environment to build the binaries on Linux. It simplifies the process a lot.

Here are the versions used by MXE:
MinGW-w64 Runtime version c28722c
GCC version 4.8.1

Other versions may also work.

Just checked over my logs with this build have 3 "ERROR: AcceptBlock() : incorrect proof of work" on 2 different machines that are not listed as orphans, anyone get that?

[hasle2]

I ran some more tests on testnet, this time with mikaelh's builds:

hp1: 25 blocks found in 28.77 minutes = 0.878 blocks/minute

hp2: 49 blocks in 21.4 minutes = 2.29 blocks/minute

hp1: 6 blocks in 12.4 minutes = 0.484 b/m

hp2 is looking much better. I ran hp1 twice, once before and once after the hp2 run, to see if the first run was bad luck but it seems not.

These numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, they were run on testnet which has a pretty low amount of processing power run on it. So if someone with a nice machine was mining will I was testing hp1 it could have thrown off those numbers. I do not know how to tell what's happening on the network as far as total processing power or the number of other miners at this point. Is it possible to run a private network for testing?

I'll still be running hp2 though.

Another interesting point is that both hp1 and hp2 were reporting around 2k pps.

I looked at the log files from my tests again and if "ProcessBlock: ACCEPTED/ORPHANED" means that someone else has mined a block then there was more mining going on during the hp1 tests. Not much more, hp2 still found blocks at 2.3x the rate of hp1.

hopefully this orphanage will stop, now its every 2 seconds a block in the network

for some reason ec2 images while the will run, and look right, do not seem to find blocks, so you have to do ever instance from scratch....

What if same rpcuser and rpcpassword are set for each machine? Does the network see it as a one big instance?

No, RPC is only between you and the daemon, never public.

thanks


is there any reason and image would not work??? as an istance...eg ir runs but never finds a block?

How identical are images? Is even the entropy pool imaged, for example, so that they all pick the exact same "random" nonce and sequence of transactions and coinbase contents, thus all orphan each other since they are all mining the exact same block in a race to see which of tem mines it first, the rest being orphaned?

How can you certain about that? I mean if it runs, ie the primespersec value greater than 0, it may take many many hours to find a block depending on your luck.

I've been using cloned instances and they've each been finding their own coins.
