Topic: BitShares PTS (formerly ProtoShares) Mandatory Upgrade & Snapshot Announcement - page 15. (Read 218426 times)

Did bitcoin die when asics were announced? What about when gpus were first used?

I think protoshares and the upcoming bitshares have finally made their coins a little more bot-proof by adding gpu. This should benefit the users/miners of the coin.

Its good to see the developers have stopped attacking gpu miners and are now allowing the coin to grow again, (without the help of large cpu botnets).

I think it's safe to say proto shares is completely dead  now due to the GPU miners?

i agree, even with 2* E5 2643 at 3,5 Ghz  i can´t beat my R9 270 which gives me about 1000 cpm...and needs less energy. Its pretty much worthless to mine with cpus.


thanks for the info about the new version, it is indeed much faster

Latest version M gave a nice speed boost, make sure you are using the right one for your cpu.

Don't see how I can keep up with my cpu miners. I get 330CPM using yam on high end cpu's. I used to get 1 PTS a day and now it takes like 4 days. Wish this stayed a cpu only coin.

For some reason I've had to open the qt with

Yes, I have the latest version. I'm used to other wallet programs finding connections to the network in under 10 minutes, any idea why Protoshares would take so long?

Have you downloaded the latest version from www.protoshares.com ?  It should eventually grab a node if you leave it open for awhile.

"addnode 162.243.67.4 add
addnode 162.243.54.126 add
addnode 37.139.29.236 add
addnode 64.90.183.137 add
addnode 180.183.205.118 add"

I added all these nodes but still don't have any active connections to the network. Little help? I'm using the windows client. Thanks.

Thanks all ok now.

Hi,

I am getting "No block source available" on my wallet.

What nodes should I add ?

Regards

PTS needs a 64x Processor minimum 2.00 Ghz.

The only question, if you believe to BitShares, if yes ProtoShares/BitShares will valuable for you, if not - better to look to another coin.

ProtoShares POW only, it's give you BitShares when they will be released, BitShares not minable at all and gives you dividents from BitShares X - distributed exchange.

After this ProtoShares will be also valuable, because will give you 10% of any DAC based on BitShares.

I think it's clear enough.

It seems like neither of you really know for sure. This is important to know, because it determines if PTS is partially Proof of Stake or not. It also determines if it is to be held as a store of wealth (if and only if holders are encouraged to hold for 2 years) or not.

More interesting what will get BitShares PTS (aka ProtoShares) owners, read here: http://www.invictus.io/bitshares-pts.php

It's will be 2 million of ProtoShares at the end of this year, today, as you can see 1,367,768 PTS already mined:
http://coinmarketcap.com/mineable.html

My guess is that there will be 20,000 coins mined in the 3rd year, 20,200 in the 4th year and so on.

Something needs to be clarified here. Is the 1% inflation after 2 years only received if you've held the share in the same wallet for 2 years, or are all shares inflated by 1% after 2 years?
