Ok, I think I know how to run a new client in the same droplet.

1. Open a new putty and log onto one of your droplets.

2. follow the OP's guide but after the first line : #!/bin/bash
type : mkdir proto1 (proto1 being the made up directory for the new client.)

3. Then type cd proto1

3. follow the steps through to when you start compiling

4.


actually after compilling everything again it still says I can't run it due to it already being run. It's a step in the right direction though. maybe,

i think you have to install a new droplet, and pay for it aswell

[Mowcore]

Why would the OP say to run another client in the same droplet to use more CPU and get more hashes if we couldn't? to fuck with our heads? He has done that by ignoring my questions already lol

[l3jmr]

can anyone share the speed that the server is mining at ?

I am mining at a speed of 3.15573555,
Gigital Ocean's control panel says it uses less than 40% of the CPU.

Launch another client program in the droplet. You should be able to double your speed.

this is what im refering to...so dunno

Same here, to me that sounds like what I would do on my PC to enable 2 clients to run on my PC, to use more CPU and get more hashes.
By the time I get an answer my credit will be used up, so I'll just take this as a lesson. Never sign up to someones referral and use real money and then get left with a guide that leaves you with more questions than anything else. lol.

thx

[fussyqbert]

Please help! I don't think my wallet is syncing. Ive tried adding nodes to protoshares.conf but nothing seems to be working.

After I do setgenerate true 3, nothing happens. 'getmininginfo' returns all 0's except difficulty and genproclimit.

[Mowcore]

you do have to wait awhile before anything shows up, give it some time. I had the same problem earlier.

[cad_cdn]

anyone have a sample protoshares.conf

[l3jmr]

i made mine like this:

pico protoshares.conf and enteret that data

[fussyqbert]

you do have to wait awhile before anything shows up, give it some time. I had the same problem earlier.

{
    "blocks" : 0,
    "currentblocksize" : 0,
    "currentblocktx" : 0,
    "difficulty" : 0.00000095,
    "errors" : "",
    "generate" : true,
    "genproclimit" : 3,
    "hashespermin" : 0,
    "pooledtx" : 0,
    "testnet" : false
}


Is that what you were getting? It seems strange that "blocks" is still at 0 after 15+ minutes....


EDIT: Doh! Thanks... a simple restart solved the issue. /noob

[Mowcore]

are you on about using the protoshares client on windows or this cloud thing on linux?
On linux yes I had that, I think I restarted and it fixed it. Don't take my word for it, I'm no Linux Protoshare wiz.

[techbytes]

Signed up using your referral but couldn't get it to work...

What seems to be the problem?

Don't know how to create the config file or how to check to see if it's setup correctly.  Linux illiterate...

[NUFCrichard]

I have been mining for ages but still haven't got anything!
Is there a x64 client for windows anywhere?  I guess I'll keep plugging away.

If any kind souls want to help out, just not having an empty transactions screen would be nice!

Thanks for the guide

[l3jmr]

Have finally figured out how to run multiple instances on linux now. Can anyone help me with how to check the different instances mining speeds etc. ?

   How did you get to this? this is good news!. I was trying with a fresh console for the 2nd client in the same droplet. My expectations was to use ./bitcoind getmininginfo as I would in the other console.

[l3jmr]

i have everything running in the same console, just dont know how to check. I would like to figure this last thing out, then i will post a guide for everybody who's strugling with this.

If my hashespermin = 6.14, theoretically how long should it take to find a block?
