Also getting the Reason: Merkleroot is invalid or corrupted. Update your miner. error

Any ideas?

Update your miner, perhaps? Post #9 from this thread was pretty useful for me. Cheers.

Edit: if you still haven't got it working, try -t 4 (instead of 8 ).

what type of OS should I be choosing in AWS ? It seems quite complex

Fyi there is another related thread with much more details Cheesy

Its in the alt forum first page, sorry OP for derailing

Is anyone able to get ptsminer to work? For me it segfaults on AVX instructions despite I'm on c3.8xlarge which Amazon says is AVX supported and /proc/cpuinfo says avx is supported.

Try to use cc2.8xlarge ,c3 is much for expensive yet provide only a 25 percent rough performance increase

Can you help with this?

If you're compiling yourself on the server then you need to change the march=native option in to something other than native. Try this list http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/i386-and-x86_002d64-Options.html#i386-and-x86_002d64-Options
It looks like there's an explicit "opteron" option but I don't know the AMD branding system so that may give you an older instruction set.

What were the returns like last week? 7 bucks an hour is less than I expected, can you actually cash out or are you holding waiting for a non-Chinese exchange to pick it up?

Unfortunately I only discovered the wonderful pricing of EC2 spot instances yesterday, however back at 1/4 difficulty profit would have been much higher.

Yup.... the commands in the code are only for Intel processors, and at that only certain Intel processors. They use optimizations for core2 machines, which means that they use assembly instructions that are available on Intel processors that aren't generically available.

For the AMD-Opteron, you can try the following, and see which one works/gives the best power:

wget http://www.theopeneffect.com/jhprotominer-yvg1900-M7c-linux64-generic.tgz

At that price per hour and the current BTC value on coingrounds, you're earning $1-2 USD/hr? Pretty heavy investment.

Unless my calculations are wrong of course. Going by your earnings per block on ypool @ 12-13 blocks/hr.

I get somewhere around 0.19 PTS/Block, and the pool is currently getting 15 blocks/hr. At this rate, 15*0.19*0.0106*600=$18.13.

So, if you want to mine ProtoShares with cloud servers, you might want to take a look at amazon EC2.

Each instance costs ~$0.28/hr for a cc2.8xlarge at spot prices. Each spot instance of a cc2.8xlarge gives you 480 Collisions Per Minute when using the optimized 1024M jhProtoMiner ProtoShare Miner for ypool.net.

Code:

wget http://www.theopeneffect.com/jhprotominer-yvg1900-M7c-linux64-core2.tgz
tar zxvf jhprotominer-yvg1900-M7c-linux64-core2.tgz
cd jhprotominer-yvg1900-M7c-linux64-core2
cd linux64-core2-1024M
./jhprotominer -O ypool.net -u username.worker -p password -t 32

The above code will quickly get you running on EC2's 32-core systems. The 32-core systems are available at a good price in N. Carolina and Oregon, and you need to use HVM-compatible linux OSes (I used Ubuntu 13.10) for your server OS.

Currently, I'm paying $11.20/hour for almost 20,000 CPM. Not bad.
