Btw you cannot release miner based on bitcoind code without sources since its violate licence under which bitcoind/protosharesd released
It's some sort of MIT license, so he can.

Yes, it means your CPU can generate SHA512's faster than they can be processed into memory. A second instance should help, but gains won't be linear.


Thanx, I understood.

How to get more instances?


Use a different port and directory - command line is

protoshares-qt.exe -port=5655 -datadir=C:\optimized\

If I set genproclimit=4, then task manager shows only 68-72 percent of CPU utilize (Core i5 2500K). Is it normal?

Could you release linux binaries for those of us on VPS?

No idea how to make those.

@pankkake: he's taking 1PTS/block unenforced by the network, of course he can't release source

2.9%
For each block mined, 1 PTS goes to my address - at current block reward that's about 2.9%

Lol, no thanks.

Easy To Use Solo Miner for ProtoShares - 2.9% fee.

Update, now 4x to 5x more collisions than stock.

Freed up now from my obligations to Invictus to get ProtoShares up and running with a basic wallet and miner, I've turned my attention to creating an optimized miner for everyone who is still mining solo. I think I've done well and you should see 2x to 3x more collisions with this miner than with the stock miner. Crucially this miner has better support for threading - that means many threads are working on a single block, rather than the stock miner's one thread per block method. That means much faster hashes, and many fewer stales.

Updated. You can set the miner at either 1,2,3 or 4 thread. Each thread uses 4 threads of its own, and 512MB. This should mean you can see 100+ collisions in a single instance of the program. You might get better results running two instances - it'll depend on your setup.

Note: I haven't worked out how to get the mining threads to shut down gracefully yet, so when you stop mining or try to change the number of mining threads, the program crashes. So decide how many threads you want and leave it there. Restart the program if you need to change it.
