10 hpm 3570k windows7 64

2x11hpm 6core i7 on debian7 64

no block found within 6 hours

is it bad luck or normal ?

Pretty normal.

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

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.

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.

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

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?

Question: why do I see in the log:
Found Hash 00049945caf793d422dccfb56212d35a3161b9b960315a806099c4df3c9e5c94

ProtoSharesMiner:

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

ok some lines further in log:

   // Found a solution

Can some explain exactly how to run two instances on windows? I keep getting an invalid directory error when I try.

I wrote this small guide to run 2 instances on windows.

Perfect, thanks. Is it possible to do something similar on linux? The dameon keeps crashing when I try to set setgenerate to 8.

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.

I was using an azure instance with 14gb of memory, what distro were you using?

Guys, the momentum-proof-of-work algorithm is really slow to check a hash. Remember, you have to check a bunch of hashes until you find a collision (birthday problem), and then hash that collision to see if you are below the mandated number. My i7 desktop was able to do 10-12 per minute, which means that each hash check took like 6-7 seconds. The client doesn't stop the current cycle and sometimes you might find one where someone else found another one.

Right now, there's one found every minute or so, which means that there's a good chance someone else finds another solution.

is there a optimized miner out yet?

You can compile it yourself with needed optimizations for your target cpu

any hints on whats important?

If I stop a wallet as I need to restart a pc for any reason, does this mean the mining has lost its work and hours put it?

No

I think it is normal. I have 43 cores (non-HT) that have been working for 48 hours and have only found 4 blocks. I am trying to decide if I should go back to XPM or power up the other 88 cores I have but have to pay electricity for....
