BitShares PTS (formerly ProtoShares) Mandatory Upgrade & Snapshot Announcement

[alexxy]

Xeons seem to perform kinda bad, i get 44 hpm on 32 cores (2.2 ghz each) in 32 threads (getting less with 64) thats 1.375 hpm per thread vs 2.5 hpm per thread on an ivy i3

Its because you count HT as normal cores. So dont use HT or use better compiler

i hope we get a pool soon, i'd prefer to get a steady income over lottery. only found 4 blocks so far at about 30hpm

Its a Xeon 5470 (which is a bit old) 4 cores per CPU.  24GB DDR.

Its a new install (Windows .  Two instances running.  Should it really be allot more?

When you say 2 instances, do you mean you run it with

Code:

setgenerate true 2

(that would be two threads) or that you run 2 separate instances of the wallet ?

I'm running the wallet twice.

Is this correct for my hardware:

2x Xeon 5470 which has 4 cores each.  Total 8 threads (Task Manager, Performance would show 8 threads / cores).
24GB DDR 2
I've run the wallet twice selected 'Mine 2 Processors (1.74GB Required)
Is this correct?  I'm now confused.

Hey does anyone has trouble with dumpprivkey and importprivkey?

I can't transfer private keys between clients, and I'm not even sure they are backing up correctly. When i try to import it gives:

Invalid private key (code -5)

Hi,

You can force it to look at a node on startup.

Code:

c:/YOURDIRECTORY/protoshares-qt.exe -addnode=168.63.12.227

It should be fixed in git repo. My fix was merged

Another noobie question..

Is it better to run 2 wallets at 3 processes (total 8 hps each) or
3/4 wallets at 2 processes (results still at around 8 hps)

And also

If I stop a wallet as I need to restart a pc for any reason, does this mean the mining has lost its work and hours put it?

Good enough i guess

Xeons seem to perform kinda bad, i get 44 hpm on 32 cores (2.2 ghz each) in 32 threads (getting less with 64) thats 1.375 hpm per thread vs 2.5 hpm per thread on an ivy i3

Its because you count HT as normal cores. So dont use HT or use better compiler

It has 32 physical cores and 64 with HT, i7 perform better with threads = HT, guess xeons dont.

And how should i use a better compiler on standard ubuntu?
