Started mining about 9:30 am

So far 2 blocks on 6 core Gulftown (within minutes of each other), 1 block on dual Xeons, 0 blocks on quad opterons.

Luck

LOL, two instances mined a block I just see, both were rejektet
What kind of bad luck is that, two in a row rejektet

How can something be IT Administrator Resistant?! I'm mining just fine  

Found my first block, 7 hpm

I wrote that there is little protection (large memory requirements and the restriction on the number of processes. In any case, this coin harder to mine than XPM, where you can throw a little invisible process that don't use much memory, and no one will know it.

User are trained to look for cpu usage and not memory so it won't matter if you start one xpm thread with low memory usage or one proto thread with 700 mb memory, even finding a blocking process is beyond many users capabilities. Even quads are uncommon in offices so the sneaky sysadmin woulnd't start more than one thread anyway, thus the 3 threads limit is ineffective.

If you are a datacenter admin on the other hand, both doesn't bother you since you're either running linux or just spam instances.

But we are going offtopic

memory dedup does its things right. so utilization isnt too heavy =D

I5 2300 with memory 2g can not mine

At least, 4g is necessory

In my case, it could be 3 blocks, but one is orphaned block. I don't use the same wallet on different instances - it gives more chances to generate block.

So far so good: 7 blocks and 2 orphans

Are you sure you can easily and invisible use the 32-core server and tons of office computers with 1-2GB of RAM when you need to install a QT for each of them?

I run it with Mac successfully. So how to mine? There is no debug window for mac version.

Thanks.

Check that CPU and memory is under heavily utilization.

Is "setgenerate true 2"  not necessary? So is the Mac version mine by default?

You dont actualy need full qt install =D

I see that this is a normal generated block.

Unfortunately, I don't have user experience with Mac. I think wallet doesn't run mining by default, so you should start it manually.
Typing setgenerate true 2 in console window or clicking Settings->Mine 2 Processes may be is necessary.
I don't know how wallet is presented in Mac version.

Well, I dont use the same wallets on may instances any ways, all different wallets and block chain in a different folder...
but thanks for the advice
