Minim1ner can you adjust your patch so that it does not also do the getblocks spam during sync? From looking at logs it looks like this might be what is creating the excess chatter on the network.
I'll take a look at it later. For now run it with
-maxconnections=3 -timeout=500
parameters.
I'm not sure how those parameters would affect anything... also keep in mind that I'm running without your patch, it is the other nodes (that are running the patch) on the network making this chatter while they sync!
EDIT: On Linux it crashes while on Windows it seems to work, although it still didn't mine me any single block.
I am getting ~10 blocks per hour with this bot. Can't tell anything about crashes, it seems pretty strange.
On what spec cpu? That is a pretty good production rate if it is just one core!
