Re: [ANN][SHA-256D] PETRODOLLAR (P$): BIG OIL COMES TO CRYPTO

The net hashrate for P$ has been between 80-500 g/hs for a while now. I could, hell; anybody could 51% this coin with a single S3. I've been mining with a couple old U2's for fun, and I have been consistently hitting blocks left and right. The reward has been reduced to 30 P$ per block (0.00001500 total at today's prices). If you completely controlled the network, and mined a ton of P$ the market wouldn't be able to bear massive dumping due to lack of overall volume, and  forget the lack of volume, there's a total lack of interest in this coin.

I started mining with Scrypt, and P$ was the reason I started buying ASIC's and mining SHA-256. Its a shame that a coin with such promise has been such a colossal letdown.  

Can you post your conf and bat file? I am trying to get mine to work, but it won't go in CGminer.

Petrodollar .conf = ...

server=1
listen=1
daemon=1
addnode=162.243.147.115
addnode=100.74.48.37:2103
rpcuser=pd
rpcpassword=x
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=23931
netport=23931

My .bat file for solomining looks like this...

bfgminer.exe -o localhost:23931 -u pd -p x

Should be the same with cgminer, just make sure your rpcuser/password in the .conf file match the username/password in your batch file. Good luck!  

Still not working in solomining. The cgminer starts up, says its looking for work from a pool and then times out. The BFGminer is not recognizing the U2. I have the UART USB and Zadig on my PC as well.

Full .bat file using BFGMiner 3.1.0, with U2 overclocked to 2.10 G/Hs...

bfgminer.exe -o localhost:23931 -u pd -p x -S antminer:all --set-device antminer:clock=x0A01

For setting your clock speed on the U2 use the following chart...

137.50 MHz | 1100 MHs | 0501 | 039 ms
