BitShares PTS (formerly ProtoShares) Mandatory Upgrade & Snapshot Announcement

[bg002h]

I'm working on fixing the make file for OS X...I've got fair amount of brew installing to do first though...It's been too long since I've compiled stuff...

[bg002h]

seems to be compiling ok now...if you get stuck compiling db.cpp, change the makefile.osx to say:

 DEPSDIR=/usr/local

(instead of /opt/local)

make sure you have deps installed:

brew install berkeley-db boost miniupnpc openssl

(make sure you install berkely-db 4.8...this might be useful:
cd /usr/local
git checkout e6a374d Library/Formula/berkeley-db.rb (get right version)

brew unlink berkeley-db (unlink wrong version)

brew install berkeley-db (this should install the right version...but it didn't work for me...I'm trying brew install berkeley-db
4 right now)

(grrr....where the heck does brew put db4?)

So I tried this out for a few days, and this client ate up so much bandwidth that my 100 gb plan for my hotspot maxed out 5 days early, which has never happened before.

Any idea why the client would be pulling down 500kbs of data ir more?

Another new pool with 64bit miner.

Low rejects and the quickest miner by a long way, now getting just under 24hpm on my overclocked I5 2500k

I was mining on 30 linux shells @ 7-8 hpm average. I had a successful instance which mined a block and I then cloned that instance to 29 others, and eventually reset the wallets on each so there were unique addresses and no chance of redundant mining.

I noticed the bitcoind servers were going down on some of the servers... they were just turned off.  Happened about 10 times over past 24 hours. Having not mined anything, I finally looked at the logs, and this is what I saw at the tail end (3 different logs). Am I correct to assume it is crashing just as it finds a block and I have lost 10 blocks!?!

Well I had the same thing, but realy cant tell if those would have been found blocks without crash or not...
But I sugest you use a pool, way better the solo mining I think. ( http://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=236.0 )

Yeah working better and higher hashes...but who knows when and how much I'll get paid...

As for the miner crashing when finding a block, maybe it's because I reset (deleted) the wallet.dat? It generated a new one ofcourse and I restarted everything but who knows, lots of bugs so far with the initial release.

just tried the new  one am getting mscvp110.dll error

You need to download and install the "Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 3" for x64 from here.

Anyone knows whether the threads used by this miner can be limited? I usually run my CPU miner so that it leaves a core unused so it doesn't have a negative effect on the GPU miner running on the same machine. When I run this alpha client my GPU miner goes down to less than half mining rate

i'm now getting "The application was unable to start correctly (0x000007b). Click OK to close the application." anyone else?

Why ?

[digitalindustry]

Just to update because I said I would , it turns out we had/have at least a new Cisco 32 core (HT) blade and 4x 8core lesser servers

Set setgenerate to 1

Now it seems with the second pool that network has risen significantly, which is good I imagine lots of single PC on these pools , so this is interesting .

Definitely the mpow algorithm at this time does not have the support of a diverse amount of pools , but hopefully that could change .

Also remains to be seen if there is a GPU implementation.

hahaha, i'm in africa using a EVDO dongle for internet, somehow it wont work with my linux box

[NUFCrichard]

Can anyone give a quick idiots guide for this new pool? When i run the Pool_miner, i get a benchmark.
I don't know how I give my address in and or if I am mining!  The usage at the top still has the default HOST PTS address part, how do I put my address here?

my miner software is in c:\minerbin
change the end address to your wallet address.

enter the command into cmd prompt or create a new shortcut -

C:\minerbin\POOL_MINER.EXE the-iland.net PjWfScic3CWuRAyjVbb8A7LJ4Q5P5PhfK8

Ha ha ok .

Driver nightmare , its made by Qualcomm?  Been there before !

One of thd pools is at or past 10k workers ha ha ,  this is a sign of a healthy network.
