BitShares PTS (formerly ProtoShares) Mandatory Upgrade & Snapshot Announcement

[adoalli]

need X64 windows client

Finally got a connection and it crashed when I put setgenerate true 3.

I have built this in linux from the git source, but I'm getting this error: (I renamed the bitcoind file produced)

protosharesd: main.cpp:2839: bool InitBlockIndex(): Assertion `hash == hashGenesisBlock' failed.
Aborted

Looks like I have to do the following to fix it:

The first time you run the compiled code (daemon or qt), it will say "assertion failed". Just exit the program, go to
config dir (under AppData/Roaming), open the debug.log, get the hash after "block.GetHash() = ", copy and paste it to the beginnig of main.cpp, hashGenesisBlock. Also get the merkle root in the same log file, paste it to the ... position in the following code, in LoadBlockIndex()

Hmm - no, you shouldn't need to do this unless you've got an out of date repo for some reason.

Code:

{
    "blocks" : 34,
    "currentblocksize" : 1000,
    "currentblocktx" : 0,
    "difficulty" : 0.00000095,
    "errors" : "",
    "generate" : true,
    "genproclimit" : -1,
    "hashespermin" : 56.99192614,
    "pooledtx" : 0,
    "testnet" : false
}

On linux with 64G ram and 24 cores

Ok, I'm building again, thanks.  Probably some kind of timestamp conflict on my source files.

I have two Core i3s and getting a total of 6.5 hashes. Not much hope I will ever get any blocks.

[super3]

Any word on the pool software?

[testz]

If you have problems with ProtoShares network discovery add node 168.63.12.227 to params of the wallet, example:

Code:

protoshares-qt.exe -addnode=168.63.12.227

or to protoshares.conf, example:

Code:

addnode=168.63.12.227

[FreeTrade]

I've increased the number of connections on my node - so try

addnode 180.183.205.118 add

- should be some free slots on there.

At current difficulty, you should expect a block for every 4096 hashes . . . at 10/min, that's about 400 minutes or 7 hours.

If it's any consolation, I haven't found one yet!

Current block rate is about 1 per minute, meaning about 1.5 days till next diff adjust.

0.00000095 diff -> 4080 hashes -> 10 hours to a block. You should be able to snag a block or two.

The problem with such rates is that its heavily dependent on luck. A block or two may easily become 0 or 3-4. Hopefully it will be the latter.

[adoalli]

who can provide the x64 win client ver？

[TBCM]

Got block 43 on an i7 2600K with 3 ProtoShares instances running 2 processes each (it crashes if I put 3 on one instance) taking 6GB RAM for a total of 14 hashespermin.

[ATC]

I have a workstation with 2 Xeon E5606 CPU, and 16GB memory.

What hashrate will get theoretically?

I got ~ 8 with "setgenerate true 4".

[Cyrus]

Started mining on block #39.
Mining on an older E5800 CPU:
"hashespermin" : 2.58184649, 3.21367211 (no OC, Mine 2 Processes, stil some programs open).

I will test later on a more powerful machine .

[meta.p02]

I will attempt to compile the client with a lower max nonce value (say, 2^22), and see if it works faster.

[BChydro]

So how much memory is needed to complete one hash?

[cryptrol]

I have tried the win32 client on Windows Vista and Windows 2003 (both x86) and they crash after setting setgenerate true.

The linux one works ok.

So how much memory is needed to complete one hash?

On my system, about 768MiB per thread.
