Thanks conrad, great answer. I'm using putty with a windows batch file and it gets the job done...and actually until those pregenerated keys are used up I guess I only have to monitor one instance.
Be careful, but you can use the -keypool=

Do you think this is just due to the diff , stales and the luck this early in Markm ?

I had over 300 PTS evaporate on my computer. I had a power outage and I guess my wallet got corrupted. I tried -salvage wallet. Any suggestions?
I just got an unconfirmed mine reward, was stuck on sync, decided to restart the wallet, resync, 0.00 in the wallet

Any word on an optimized miner?

1) I cloned all of them so I was worried they are performing the same work, especially since the first new block found registered across all of the machines. I know that's not a direct correlation, and it's likely a pregenerated address for mining purposes, but im wondering if there is effective hashing randomization. Waiting for the next block, though I'll probably be checking each machine manually to find it (?) EDIT: listtransactions command is showing identical new activity across all machines...specifically an immature block. Am I analyzing this correctly? Does the client have a pool of pregenerated addresses?
On the first startup, wallet.dat is initialized with a keypool of about 100 keys. If by "cloned" you mean you copied wallet.dat to all 30 machines it would explain that all generated blocks show up in all machines, because all machines share the same set of keys. This is normal behaviour for most if not all altcoins. Note that the wallets will start to diverge when all of the pregenerated keys have been used up, because then each machine will generate its own new keys.
Regarding your question about randomization: do the logfiles show identical hashes on all machines? If not, I'd guess there's sufficient randomization.
2) Every new block reward is assigned to a new address, and I am looking for a way to easily have all new coins mined go to the same address.
Not possible without modifying the software, AFAIK.
3) It's a headache to do and monitor everything manually across all the shells, any ideas how to manage them all at the same time? pool? script?
There's a standalone miner available:
https://github.com/wangchun/cpuminer
Run a single protosharesd instance + point the cpuminers to it. No need for a separate pool.
Of course, that only means you'll be getting headaches by manually monitoring 30 cpuminers...

I have 30 linux shells pumping out 7-8 hpm per minute each, running the protoshares bitcoind client, but I have a few concerns.

Is there a command to make it use 2x CPU's and all its cores in one wallet?

Are your wallets secure?
I'm trying to find differences.
What do you mean by "secure" ?I'm trying to find differences.
Encrypt Wallet
I'm certain that doesn't make a difference but still... How many of you have?
mine is encrypted from the start and i had a lucky start

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 ?

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
12 hours passed and my coins are in limbo
what can i do ?
No confirmations? Are you sure that the client is connected with some nodes?

Quick update from me.
9 Servers Mining
All Xeons
24hrs has passed
Got 1 block from the lowest server I have (3.2hps) and received payment
?
The rest of the servers are still 0
Grrrrrrrrrrrr......

Mining with approximately 165 hpm overall and having periods of more than 4 hours without blocks.

Yeah my powerful dedicated servers out on the net are still doing poorly compared to some of the crappy old core two duos here at home. Its a crapshoot/lottery.

First of all make a backup of your wallet.
Then try running the protoshares client with the -salvagewallet parameter. They should reappear then.
It is a common problem with the client and many altcoins.
