Title: Burst Coin
Post by: Sema89 on February 28, 2015, 12:56:33 PM
Problem is the I have only 6 ~ hrs to set up :(

Do you mean that your plotted files will be deleted after 6 hours?

Yes, they will shutdown, and all files will be deleted forever. I need to create my own image in 6hrs.

Lets break this down.

You have access to 1000+ Amazon C3 instances, each one having these specs
32vCPU   60GB RAM   2 x 320 GB SSD

But you only have this massive farm 6hrs each day.

That's roughly 640TB worth of mining power coming on for 6hrs each day.

Your efforts are nothing but bad for the Burst Network.  You want to move 640TB worth of data within 6rs.... 640TB in  6hrs  :D.  1000+ instances each one have 2x 320GB SSD drives.  That's 640TB  you need to store the plots some place and then upload them to your instances each day.

I'm pretty sure this is not possible, and how does someone get access to that type of computing power for 6hrs each day.  You could make this work on a smaller scale, but I have no desire to see large scale miners only pop on for 6hrs each day.  Good-luck

if the machines have ssd storage simply add a startup script with a random 64 bit nonce number to start the plots for the machine with.
with only 1000+ instances overlaps should be no real issue.
plot on each startup 40 16 gb files as background job and connect all to a own wallet server or to multiple wallets.
using a pool is almost impossible due to the load you generate. so i would go with 100 nodes onto one dedicated wallet at the beginning.
increasing or decreasing this number can be done load dependant. the tricky part is to configure which machine contacts which wallet.
you may run any scm to distribute the machines config files.
each time a machine boots it loads its mining config from the headrevision and starts to plot and to mine.
but this requires a bit of development and testing.
also have in mind that the wallet servers should stay always on to be always in sync.

plotting should run with at least about 20-30k nonces/minute. this means your drives are filled up after roughly two hours.
put the plotting process into nice in a own screen.
after the plotting is done you may mine any cpu coin on the almost idling cpu cores ;-)

tell me how it works. its really an interesting approach  8)


Can anyone help me with making startup script with a random 64 bit nonce numbers?
And Can I mine burst to one wallet from many PC's?
If anyone can help, please send PM to me.
I have a reward: 20 VPS'es with 32cpu cores for 6 hrs for your help.

Why has no one replied to the.  Did the OP get his answers?
