BitShares PTS (formerly ProtoShares) Mandatory Upgrade & Snapshot Announcement

[FreeTrade]

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

You'll get more hashes, but many fewer collisions - and collisions are what is important - actually collisions per minute is a better metric, but hashes per minute is a good approximation at 2^26 nonces.

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

Yes, I 'setgenerate true' may create more threads than win32 is capable of, resulting in a crash. try 'set generate 1'  or 'set generate 3'

Runnng on a i7-3610QM with 8 GB ram and havin 3 instenzes runing (2 runing on 3 cores and one runing on 2 cores) I get a total of 17 hpm
Thogh have not found one damm block

Well I wish you good luck! Your computer might need to be up all night to get lucky.

Is there any thread limit ? I am seeing 0 hpm on a 24 cores machine with 100% cpu load and 30G of RAM in use.
Running Ubuntu 10.4 LTS
EDIT: I have waited for 20 minutes before asking.

Wait a coupel of minuts, it needs a couple of minuts to calculate befor showing  the hash

Same, should show results in a couple of minuts.....that s a hell of a mashine you got there, pls let us know what you get on that

Hmm, that is starnge....try closing it and then when reopening go to help>debugwindow>console and type : set generate true 24 (24 being the number of cors, could be that you have to reduce it due to it most likly by passing the max memory, try with 12 maybe)

Thanks for your help, I am using the (headless) linux client. And in fact it's a 32 cores machine.
How do I see in the debug if the machine is mining or not.
I have now lowered the thread count to 1 just to test, will report.

No, definitely not normal. Make sure you have waited 4/5 minutes for that figure to show non-zero.

I left in some debug statements by mistake, so if you're doing hashing, you should see a lot of output there like this -

testHash 44179cdc4dbaaf161a6f3fc500f3e4b57f32cb6187f22922ddf8042eb88549ef
Hash Target 000fff0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

-each of those is a hash.

ditto for this - check your debug.log for testhashes - if they are there, you're mining.

When I put

Code:

setgenerate true 32

I get :

Code:

ProtoSharesMiner terminated
keypool return 2

I have enough RAM.
