Runnng on a i7-3610QM with 8 GB ram and havin 3 instenzes runing (2 runing on 3 cores and one runing on 2 cores) I get a total of 17 hpm Smiley
Thogh have not found one damm block Tongue


Well I wish you good luck! Your computer might need to be up all night to get lucky.

I have tried the win32 client on Windows Vista and Windows 2003 (both x86) and they crash after setting setgenerate true.

Yes, I 'setgenerate true' may create more threads than win32 is capable of, resulting in a crash. try 'set generate 1'  or 'set generate 3'

I will attempt to compile the client with a lower max nonce value (say, 2^22), and see if it works faster.

You'll get more hashes, but many fewer collisions - and collisions are what is important - actually collisions per minute is a better metric, but hashes per minute is a good approximation at 2^26 nonces.

So how much memory is needed to complete one hash?

On my system, about 768MiB per thread.

The linux one works ok.

Started mining on block #39.
Mining on an older E5800 CPU:
"hashespermin" : 2.58184649, 3.21367211 (no OC, Mine 2 Processes, stil some programs open).

I will test later on a more powerful machine Smiley.

I have a workstation with 2 Xeon E5606 CPU, and 16GB memory.

What hashrate will get theoretically?

I got ~ 8 with "setgenerate true 4".

Got block 43 on an i7 2600K with 3 ProtoShares instances running 2 processes each (it crashes if I put 3 on one instance) taking 6GB RAM for a total of 14 hashespermin.

I have two Core i3s and getting a total of 6.5 hashes. Not much hope I will ever get any blocks.

Current block rate is about 1 per minute, meaning about 1.5 days till next diff adjust.

0.00000095 diff -> 4080 hashes -> 10 hours to a block. You should be able to snag a block or two.

The problem with such rates is that its heavily dependent on luck. A block or two may easily become 0 or 3-4. Hopefully it will be the latter.

I've increased the number of connections on my node - so try

addnode 180.183.205.118 add

- should be some free slots on there.

At current difficulty, you should expect a block for every 4096 hashes . . . at 10/min, that's about 400 minutes or 7 hours.

If it's any consolation, I haven't found one yet!

If you have problems with ProtoShares network discovery add node 168.63.12.227 to params of the wallet, example:
Code:
protoshares-qt.exe -addnode=168.63.12.227
or to protoshares.conf, example:

Code:
addnode=168.63.12.227

I have built this in linux from the git source, but I'm getting this error: (I renamed the bitcoind file produced)

protosharesd: main.cpp:2839: bool InitBlockIndex(): Assertion `hash == hashGenesisBlock' failed.


Hmm - no, you shouldn't need to do this unless you've got an out of date repo for some reason.

Ok, I'm building again, thanks.  Probably some kind of timestamp conflict on my source files.
