[atta2k15]

Question: why do I see in the log:
Found Hash 00049945caf793d422dccfb56212d35a3161b9b960315a806099c4df3c9e5c94
hash 00049945caf793d422dccfb56212d35a3161b9b960315a806099c4df3c9e5c94
hash2 00049945caf793d422dccfb56212d35a3161b9b960315a806099c4df3c9e5c94
ProtoSharesMiner:
proof-of-work found

but still nothing added in the QT....
(multiple-times occuring in log)

ok some lines further in log:
ERROR: ProtoSharesMiner : generated block is stale

Pretty normal.

I've got about 300HPm in my farm with only 4 blocks since genesis

This is VERY strange, I got way more blocks with more or less the same amount of HPM, what was your setup ?
BTW, I was using about 100 low power instances running Ubuntu 10.4.

IMO, a very optimized miner is already out, otherwise the lack of blocks has no explanation.

I managed to make 8 threads work with an Amazon EC2 instance.  Run "free -m" to see if it's dying due to memory starvation.  You'll need ~750MB memory per thread, so make sure you have at least 6GB free.
If you do and it still crashes, make sure you're running a 64-bit version of linux.

What is your hashespermin on EC2?

13 blocks found so far at 13.9hpm (I5 2500k @ 4.

[bahamapascal]

10 hpm 3570k windows7 64

2x11hpm 6core i7 on debian7 64

no block found within 6 hours

is it bad luck or normal ?

I think it all depends on the Internet conection, if you have a high ping (US and or EU) you will get a lott of stalles.
Search in the log fiele for "generated block is stale" and count how many you got, I bet its a lott.
Well this is just a theory, but I think it could be that way...now would be interesting how many stalles you got and mybe your Internet ping.
Btw, I got 11 stalles and one exeptet block untill the difficulty got adjusted. Have a 260-300 ping to US/EU server.

Impressive. Linux or Windows ? And also, is the CPU overclocked ? Memory type ?

running windows 7 x64, I5 2500k is watercooled and running at 4.8 per core, 8gb ram (nothing special but not cheap generic stuff)

[Snard]

I am running a couple of instances where I have a combined 48hpm. Unfortunately have not found a block yet.

Have found 25 stale blocks though.

Anyone try this out on a x64 compiled exec?

Mark, send us your debug log please.

Many of us are getting no blocks.

[markj113]

got to pop out - in laws anviersary, will upload and post link a little later.

p.s. make that 12 blocks now

Just got another, now down to 45.125 coins per block

[l3jmr]

I have checked my log on 1 pc now too, 4 stale and 16 orphans, 1 found block...gg

[NUFCrichard]

ok, my computer isn't fast (4 hashes per min) but i have only found 1 stale, no orphans and no blocks even though I have been going from the start.
I am going to stick it out until I find at least 1 stinking block!

Is there a version of the $5000 bounty thread here on BitcoinTalk?

[bbxx]

hi i finally found a block

stupid me i sent it to my pc without fee
do i have to wait until i find next block on this machine wchich mined this block
or just wait few days ?

or maybe coins are lost ?

[BitcoinForumator]

Is there any pool for this?

[idev]

Is there a buyer/seller thread for protoshares?

Buy - http://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?board=18.0
Sell - http://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?board=17.0

Not yet

[Hilux74]

Lol found another block on my piece of crap Celeron...nothing for 2 days on the i7

Totally different from a bitcoin block
A protoshare block 90% doesn't have transactions, so it isn't any priority fee problem related: u can leave no fee
