This is a protoshares pool mining version based on xolokrams's primecoin miner. and Invictus Innovations protoshares client. and jh00's & testix' jhProtominer.
This is the start of keeping an open source, high-performance version available. It's about 2x faster than the normal ptsminer.
It has some build issues with windows that I'll fix soon.
Features:
- pool mining client
- custom getworx-protocol
- light-weight code
- portable
Build notes:
- you'll need libboost & yasm
- Older versions of gcc may have issues.
Running: ptsminer <#threads> [mode]
If you want AVX2, you'll have to specificy it explicitly in the mode string.
Known bugs:
- Will not do AVX2 on MacOS
- It yells if you haven't enabled hugepages on Linux, but runs properly.
To silence that, run hugepages:
echo 2048 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
It will give you a moderate speed boost.
