Title: [ANN] jminer v0.5.3 - GPU assisted PoC-Miner for Burstcoin (BURST) - PoC2
Post by: luxe on September 04, 2015, 06:01:05 PM
New java (all platforms) GPU assisted PoC-Miner for Burstcoin (BURST)
PoC - Proof of Capacity

Requirements:
- Java8
- openCL driver/sdk

Features:
- POC1 and POC2 supported (both pre- and post-fork @502000)
- solo and all pools supported
- AMD and nVIDIA supported
- Windows, Linux and Mac supported (WARNING: Win7 has strange caching issues on BURST mining!)
- for a QUICKSTART check README.txt

Download:
burstcoin-jminer-0.5.3-SNAPSHOT
https://github.com/de-luxe/burstcoin-jminer/releases (https://github.com/de-luxe/burstcoin-jminer/releases)

Wiki / Setup:
https://github.com/de-luxe/burstcoin-jminer/wiki/configure-jminer.properties

Properties:
https://github.com/de-luxe/burstcoin-jminer/blob/master/jminer.default.properties

To understand the importance, look at the following CPU and I/O usage, 2 Blocks mined with CPU and than 2 Blocks mined with GPU-Support.
https://i.imgur.com/zSr39cJ.jpg

In Numbers:

PC-1: 85TB plots:
~80sec with CPU (12 cores intel@4.1GHz) bottleneck: CPU
~16sec with GPU (280x@~50%) bottleneck: HDD read speed

PC-2: 56TB plots:
~70sec with CPU (8 cores amd@4.5GHz) bottleneck: CPU
~24sec with GPU (amd HD 7970@~50%) bottleneck: HDD read speed
~48sec with GPU (amd HD 5450@~100%) bottleneck: GPU

As you can see we have some benefits, finish rounds faster means:
commit all deadlines, even on fast blocks and less hardware usage, save energy!

Here is another screen, take a look a GPU Load (280x@85TB)

Screenshot of latest SNAPSHOT
(the first block is that much faster, cause i mined it 2 times, so data was still in drive caches ...)

About:
I was just for fun developing a own poc miner, i got it working ... but the miner was ~10% slower than e.g. blago miner, therefore i was asking in the community for openCL implementation of SHABAL, to optimize the mining performance ... after @cryo gave me some kernel files from burstDev, i contacted burstDev and he provided the code, that enables this miner to use GPU for mining.
PLEASE DONATE TO HIM:
BurstDev: BURST-QHCJ-9HB5-PTGC-5Q8J9

I need help mining at the DevPoolv2.

My OS is Linux (ubuntu 14.04)

...

1. The error may occure cause you do not have java8 installed, check version in command line with 'java -version'
 (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12770622/java-lang-unsupportedclassversionerror)
 This may help you to install java8:
(http://tecadmin.net/install-oracle-java-8-jdk-8-ubuntu-via-ppa/)
2. poolServer=http://pool.com:8125 should be the dev2Pool url
3. platformId and deviceId should be integer values, in general 0 or 1, try just leave it empty ...
on issues with platformId/deviceId check:

How does this scale well with APU's?

Is only AMD cards work proper with this or can Nvidia cards too? If the Nvidia cards work, is there performance similar to AMD?

What cards seem to be the best power/performance for the miner?

nothing without a lot of hdd capacity ... this is still HDD mining ... you could handle/mine ~1PB in below 20sec with that 5x7970 ... if your drives are fast enough.

Miner works with NVIDIA, but i do not have one to test and compare with AMD. (Same for APU)
I just can tell you that a R9 280x can compute/ceck deadlines of ~100TB in below 8sec. (see miner screenshot on OP - the first round)

Hey luxe maybe u can help me out. Trying to use ur miner and can't get it to work properly

I have a AMD R9 270 I'm trying to use as a gpu miner and this is what I have installed

AMD Latest drivers
Java 8 Update 65
AMD AppSDK 3.0
OpenCL 1.1 support for intel core processor family
Running Win7 64bit with 16gigs of ram

Using the gpu plot generator setup option this is what my devices look like

Code:
[0] Intel(R) OpenCL (OpenCL 1.1 )
    [0]        Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz (OpenCL 1.1 (Build 25940.26006))
[1] AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing (OpenCL 2.0 AMD-APP (1800.8))
    [0] Pitcairn (OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1800.8))
    [1]        Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz (OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1800.8))

So in the jminer settings all I did was change the plot path, just 1 drive for testing purposes, my numeric ID, pool and platformId=1
deviceId=0 I'm assuming thats for the 1 AMD then 0 Pitcairn since it's gpu mining

So when I run the batch file with only these settings changed in the visual studio code

Code:
plotPaths=Z:/Burst/plots
poolMining=true
numericAccountId=17908512605713200237
poolServer=http://pool.burstcoin.de:8080
platformId=1
deviceId=0

I get this and it just hangs so I have to ctrl+c to terminate it....

Seams that the miner is not able to successfully scan you plot directory ... whats in there? Only plot files that contain your numeric accountId?

(I saw the whole openCL/GPU setup was correct (@burstcoin thread), so the problem must be somewhere in the plot directory)

Edit:
Ok, we solved that problem, the startnonce used in plotfile was too big for jminer ...
everyone using jminer should currently not use startnonce / nonce 'addresses' (2nd number in plotfile) bigger than:
Long.MAX_VALUE = 9223372036854775807

Hello luxe :)

I have an issue running jminer on APU AMD A4-7300.
Java is version 8, win7 64bit, 8 gigs of RAM, latest drivers.

Jminer runs and freeze a computer, after 10-20 seconds, everything looking normal until it blocks it totally.

Last 3 messages in jminer are WARN 4000 unable to get mining info from wallet: null

I have inspected this situation, and noticed that jminer runs well until memory is filled, after no physical memory left it just stall whole thing.

Hi,
You use Win7! There are known caching issues on mining BURST with Win7, that can solved by using another OS! (I also had to use another OS, as i started mining BURST)

About memory usage (beyond Win7 caching issues ...)
The part of the miner that reads the data/plot-files will just read as fast as possible all data into memory.
If your GPU is not fast enough to handle that data, the memory usage will grow (max. 0,025% of your plotfiles + base memory for application ...)

Additional info: https://github.com/de-luxe/burstcoin-jminer/wiki/burstforum.com-thread-recovery (search for 'memory usage')

Hello luxe,

I will add additional GPU to system. I have several cards here laying around. Please advice best for me:

ATI 7790 1Gb ram (bonaire chip)
ATI 5850 1Gb ram
ATI 5870 1Gb ram

Also will change system to linux distribution, is Ubuntu OK and do you suggest some version of it?

Thanks for help.
BTW I support burst, and like it a lot. I'm a believer. Mining with 300Tb.

Just use the most powerful GPU ... to ensure there is no bottleneck ...

Ubuntu should be fine, sry no idea what version is best.
You can also use Win8 or Win10. It is only Win7 with that caching issue.
(I use Win8 and a 280x, my GPU is used 50% while mining 100TB (4TB Drives) @ 15sec per round with a memory usage of 2-4GB)

Thanks for help.

Nice to hear that, we will booost your 300TB :-)

Are this 300TB all attached to same PC? Or do you have multiple PCs running?

Add external usb3 HDDs. You also need some usb3 ports + hubs. You could use your internal HDDs at the same time. I need the win7 installation on my pc, so I'm mining 25 TB on CPU. Jminer won't work on win7 (it'll work, but you can't use the PC for anything else).

Edit: Mining on HDD doesn't need the caching at all, so if this is switched off on all OSs jminer may consume even less power, no?

BTW I support burst, and like it a lot. I'm a believer. Mining with 300Tb.

Nice to hear that, we will booost your 300TB :-)

Are this 300TB all attached to same PC? Or do you have multiple PCs running?



I have 9 pcs with 8x4Tb each, plus 2 pcs with 4x4Tb each.

...

Will you please tell me how did you managed 100Tb in single comp, and some more info on cooling system.


I'm impressed, guess you could save a lot of power, if you manage it to run jminer and attach more drives to less PCs!

Well, i have this case http://geizhals.de/lian-li-pc-d8000b-schwarz-a834927.html (http://geizhals.de/lian-li-pc-d8000b-schwarz-a834927.html) (20 drives)
and i added http://geizhals.de/raidsonic-icy-box-ib-545ssk-54105-a817979.html (http://geizhals.de/raidsonic-icy-box-ib-545ssk-54105-a817979.html) (5 drives) so 25x4TB ...
my motherboard allows 14xSATA and i added two of this controllers: http://geizhals.de/highpoint-rocketraid-2680-a380035.html (http://geizhals.de/highpoint-rocketraid-2680-a380035.html)
I also have some additional none-burst drives attached via USB3+USB3 Hubs ...
You could also use external cases like http://geizhals.de/fantec-qb-x8us3-1461-a669223.html (http://geizhals.de/fantec-qb-x8us3-1461-a669223.html) ...
There are many ways to attach a lot of drives to one PC ...

Cooling is no big issue, GPU only runs a few seconds every 4min. ... I just used the case internal 'slots' for air cooling.

But back to you issue ... i asked about you configuration for a reason ... if you have max. 32TB per PC, you should be fine with another OS and one of your mentined GPUs above. Maybe even your embedded GPU will do the job.

Add external usb3 HDDs. You also need some usb3 ports + hubs. You could use your internal HDDs at the same time. I need the win7 installation on my pc, so I'm mining 25 TB on CPU. Jminer won't work on win7 (it'll work, but you can't use the PC for anything else).

Edit: Mining on HDD doesn't need the caching at all, so if this is switched off on all OSs jminer may consume even less power, no?

If you know a way to switch off caching for Win7, feel free to tell us.
In your case of 25TB ... what about adding more memory to your PC?
16-32GB should be able to handle the cache needs?! (not sure if the benefit will be big enough to legitimate such a investion)

I'm with 16 GB RAM. Blago's miner had the same problem with win7 and then he fixed it, so it's doable.

Hello,

Today I upgraded win7 to win10, results are good.
JMINER works well, using only few Gb of RAM.
No stress on CPU. I have a feeling that even 4Gb of ram would be ok.

I plotted 6x4Tb drives, read time with GPU and jminer is 52 seconds.
GPU load is high 99%.
So far, so good. Before read time was 1m53s. So, very good result.

Considering adding more HDD drives, jminer is a must have tool.
Great job luxe.

GPU load is really low, from 30%-70%, even lower on hdd read, speed is 120mb/s shown in jminer.
Thinking like there can be better result.

I remember that discussion, my point is still, that i will not implement a Win7 specail case in a java application ...
I hoped for a way, to edit this FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING  in the OS itself, in registry or something ... or via parameter for java vm ...

I am very pleased to hear that ...
You say you need 52sec. thats still a little slow.
Data of a 4TB drive should be read in below 20sec. (my experience, but can depend on sata controller etc.)
If you GPU is not 100% while checking deadlines, the number of drives should not have influence on the 52sec round time.
So basically, if you add another 6x4TB under same conditions, your read speed would be 240mb/s and round would still be finished in 52sec.

Anyway, 120mb/s divided by number of drives is 20mb/s per drive (not cool) ...
If you drives read speed is not limited by hardware, i suggest:
- Use every drive as single drive (no raid or extended partitions over multiple drives or something)
- Use a high staggersize for your plotfiles to reduce seak operations of your harddrive, https://bchain.info/BURST/tools/overlap will provide info about that! Optimize your plotfiles if your staggersize is 8096 or something!

Considering very low-end GPU integrated in APU it is ok for me, GPU usage is on average of 60% (I thought that GPU will be bottleneck - but it is not).
Here are screenshots of GPU usage while mining:

I dont know what could cause problem, while I tested it had no issues... never expected this situation.

Well, thats strange, please make sure you use 64bit Java ... test it in command line with:
Code:
java -version

To download Java 64bit JRE (uninstall the 32bit java before installing the 64bit one)
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html

Btw. if that was the problem, you will not need that -Xmx6G anymore i guess ...

Again problems, jminer with option  java -jar -Xmx1G -XX:+UseG1GC burstcoin-jminer-0.3.6-RELEASE.jar
it just freezes at 100% plot reading done, not telling how long it takes to read, and not getting next block info.
Thats because 1G means the Java VM can only use 1GB of memory, thats to small ... we should focus on running with 64-bit and 6GB :-)
Just to explain, a 32-bit is limited in addressing memory, you noticed that, guess even -Xmx2G did not work.

Going to fix right away.
But I am certain I installed 64bit version, I always do.
De facto, it is not then 64bit.

Update in 5 minutes.

Thank you again, Luxe.

It is now OK. Really sorry for this, I checked again and I DL-ed 64bit installer. Anyone should pay attention to what this java automatic installer is doing by own will.


First result is here : (looks really gooooood :) )

Damn, ok you seam to have some network issues there ... you could try to increase 'connectionTimeout' and 'refreshInterval' make sure your wallet is accessible.
Code:
refreshInterval=3000
connectionTimeout=12000



If that does not help, i need to know more about your setup ... all machines are accessing same wallet or every machine has it's own?
How big is your staggersize?
Please provide complete error logs ... if there was more ... i can not see if the connection problems are resulting from OutOfMemory or the other way round ...

Hi luxe,

Thanks for your work  :) Since some time, I get this error:

Error: ReaderPartLoadedEvent for unknown chunkPartStartNonce

No java error, just that on two boxes. And hundreds of them. No errors with blago's miner, but strange thing is that they seem to find the same number of dl. I do use large startnonces....

Any idea....? No hits on google.

This error does not effect your mining ... but indicates you have duplicate or overlapping plots.
Please check for plot-file duplicate or overlapping plots e.g. use https://bchain.info/BURST/tools/overlap

jminer uses a lookup with chunkPartStartNonce as unique key, to calculate how much capacity is left in a round.
Once a chunkPart is read it's removed from that lookup ... in your case it was already removed, means you have at least two times the same chunkPartStartNonce.

I've been using it on my boxen for some time now, mainly because I got tired of the system trying to turn all available ram into cache. It takes a registry value to set the max amount, so it's a bit fiddly to use, but it does help things significantly.

It's not helping. I set the maximum read cash RAM to be 2GB on my 16GB RAM system and I ran it about 24 hours. There may be a bit of improvement in the responsiveness, but it's far from what's needed.

Shame, it worked for me with the blago version with the issue, and helps with many other things here, like copying large amounts of files between drives, so hoped it would apply here also.

I tried many memory cleaners when I had the same problem with Blago's miner - some of them were reported working by other users in the Burst thread. I even tried different solutions discussed in code forums and wrote and compiled some cleaner solutions on my own. They were not helping back then and I don't think any memory cleaner would help for jminer on win 7 too.

So the problem in Windows 7 is that the miner stops after ... x hours because of caching/ram issues?

I built a small "jminer -restarter" that restarts the miner after a chosen amount of minutes. I made that because my graphic card is so cheap and slow that after some hours RAM usage runs out of control...  and I use Win 10.

I could release the code for you if that helps... it's nothing special.

burstcoin-jminer-0.4.2-RELEASE
https://github.com/de-luxe/burstcoin-jminer/releases/tag/0.4.2-RELEASE

Changes
- updated used libs (including openCL, use latest drivers!)
- better handling/info on fast blocks
- incorrect size info of plots, GB and TB are decimal, calculation is binary fixed
- eff.read is more likely the average read speed - now we have avg. and eff. speed were eff. is speed since last info shown.
- add optional plot-drive info output
- make memory usage more effective and adjustable (memory usage reduced up to ~50% per default, optimize more by editing 'readerThreads' property)
- write console output to logfile

Setup
jminer is configured in 'jminer.properties' that has to be in same folder.

For a quick start check:
https://github.com/de-luxe/burstcoin-jminer/blob/master/README.md
or README file included in download.

For all available settings check:
https://github.com/de-luxe/burstcoin-jminer/blob/master/jminer.default.properties
or jminer.properties included in download.

NOTICE
There are two binaries for download, please take the one that fits for your OS and OpenCL version.

Support
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1170987.0
or

Download:
https://github.com/de-luxe/burstcoin-jminer/releases/tag/0.4.3-SNAPSHOT

I expect the miner to be more stable, and memory usage should be constant now.

Changes:
- bugfixes
- updated versions of used libs (spring+jetty)
- providing some info about used pool on startup (balance, total mined, number of miners)
- add miner and capacity info on commit nonce to pool (e.g. to see miner version+ capacity on burst.ninja)

Please test and report :-)

@equipoise you could try, if the lastest changes have positive effects on memory issues with Win7 ...

This fix didn't help. First 30 minutes there were no problems and it was OK (maybe a little better then 0.3.6, but I'm not sure). Then I was afk about 4 hours and when I came back it had the same problems as 0.3.6.

You are welcome ...

The miner works on Win7, but with more and more TB of plots, the memory Win7 uses for caching is increasing ... thats not the case on Linux/Win8+.
If you say it works for you, some more details like size of your plots and used memory would be helpful.

The main benefit of using jminer, is the use of openCL.
If your hardware does not support openCL, you should consider using another miner.
However, openCL does not necessarily has to run on GPU, there are also CPU drivers available.

Quote
The following implementations of OpenCL are currently available:
- The AMD OpenCL driver with support for OpenCL 2.0: AMD OpenCL website (http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/OpenCL2-Driver.aspx)
- The NVIDIA drivers with support for OpenCL 1.2: NVIDIA OpenCL website (http://developer.nvidia.com/opencl)
- OpenCL for OSX: Apple OpenCL website (https://developer.apple.com/opencl/)
- Intel OpenCL SDK: Intel OpenCL SDK website. (http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-opencl-sdk/) [see the Installation Notes (http://jocl.org/IntelInstallationNotes.txt) for using this implementation]

Source: http://jocl.org/

If its not a hardware, but a setup problem (setting correct device and platform) ... instructions can be found e.g. here (thanks cryo):
https://github.com/bhamon/gpuPlotGenerator/blob/master/README.md (check List platforms + List devices)

cutout from jminer.properties (https://github.com/de-luxe/burstcoin-jminer/blob/master/jminer.default.properties):
Code:
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# - GPU -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# the miner uses openCL for most of the mining calculations, ensure it is setup correctly.
# ...
#
# platformId     - id of openCL platform on your system. one platform may have multiple
# (default:0)      devices, the miner currently uses just one (in general not the bottleneck)
#
# deviceId       - specifies the device used by OCLCecker, can be your first GPU,
# (default:0)      in most cases it will not be 100% used. (depends on capacity)
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
platformId=
deviceId=


Maybe there will be a alternative/fallback 'Checker' without openCL in the future, but thats is not implemented, yet.

Just noticed, that jminer only 'allows' GPU openCL devices, kind of confused, cause i got feedback, that it also works on CPU ... however, next version will allow all available openCL devices.

burstcoin-jminer-0.4.4-SNAPSHOT

Download
https://github.com/de-luxe/burstcoin-jminer/releases/tag/0.4.4-SNAPSHOT
   
Info
Writing logfile is now optional and disabled per default.
Added some additional openCL info/support for easy setup. e.g.:
Copied from logs:
Code:
List of system openCL platforms and devices (* = used for mining)

 * PLATFORM-[0] AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing
                OpenCL 2.0 AMD-APP (1642.5)
 *   DEVICE-[0] Tahiti (2GB) - Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
                OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1642.5) | '1642.5 (VM)'
                work group size '256', computing units '32', available 'true'
     DEVICE-[1] Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4930K CPU @ 3.40GHz (17GB) - GenuineIntel
                OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1642.5) | '1642.5 (sse2,avx)'
                work group size '1024', computing units '12', available 'true'

(*) openCL context successfully started! (platformId: 0, deviceId: 0)
Fixed smaller bugs and stuck issue while solo-mining
Added debug mode (will e.g. list incomplete plot-files)

Changes
- support all available openCL devices
- check for openCL support on startup, list available platforms/devices
- prevent wallet from stuck on solo-mining e.g. on slow blocks/no open gui
- writing logfile as optional feature
- stop using jocl 0.2.0 as long as there is no performance improvement
- provide info about 'incomplete' plot-files
- enable selection logLevel DEBUG for users that are interested in more details

i have a question.  i just downloaded jminer for burst coin and the config file is huge.  it looks like for pool mining there are only three variables that need to be set.  the files reads really odd.  there is an explanation for each parameter given in a comment.  the way my line breaks are, it looks like the parameter is set right after the comment, but i think that is not the case, as i see the parameters more clearly used later in the file.

the question is this.  if i only need to set three parameters in the file, are there other settings in there that are used.  can i just make a new config file that contains nothing other than the three parameters and use it or is the included file more important.  i know coding and i can read through the file line by line, but would rather avoid that and get it moving more quickly

edit:creating my own config file using this method.  i started with these three parameters,

Code:
plotPaths=D:/,C:/,E:/plots,F:/plots
numericAccountId=<YOUR NUMERIC ACCOUNT ID>
poolServer=http://pool.com:port

Then I started the script and got an info/error saying that a wallet server is not defined.  I will set everything one at a time using the errors that the software spits out.  I think this is a nice way of seeing each and every piece of info the software uses and better understanding the program.  I will post a final config file that was created using this method here for the info of others.

Post by: morantis on January 27, 2017, 04:19:54 AM
until the block chain gets fully synced for me locally and on some other sites i will have no real answer here.  I removed the parameters i added for a wallet server because the software claimed to not be able to get mining info.  it now works, my dl info is displayed on the pool, but the software is pissed because the mining info is not being reported to it correctly. 

once my local wallet is fully recovered from the mess over the past few days, i will point jminer at it for mining info.  to test jminer i only used a drive that has 200 GB plotted on it and i am not impressed at the results versus the regular mining software.  i saw a dl of a year, and another in the 9 month range.  I am using the same pc to plot at this moment, so that could be an issue.

once i am locally snyced and i have stopped my current plotting, i will try it for an hour with all my plots and then use uray's for an hour with the same plots and report back here. it seems that the software can and will run with only the three parameters set, setting a walletserver via the config can do nothing but improve things.

i will go through the original one line at a time and through the github help and see if i can use any other parameters to improve things. but it seems that the gpu miner jminer versus the other cpu miners i have used shows a good 50% or greater increase in production.  it is hard to gauge exactly, as this is a new rig, building from the bottom up and i switched to the jminer at the same time that i nearly doubled the plot sizes.  but, compared the the same rig that is already running and the time when it had the same amount of plots/sizes there is a big difference

Sorry if the included jminer.properties leads to this confusion .... i updated OP and added a link to the github wiki page.
As far as i can see you did everything correctly ...
But to clarify ... nearly all settings have a implemented default value, so there is no need to configure more than you did.
The walletServer is only used to get the last winner and not relevant for mining at all.
There are some 'hidden' features and fine tuning, it is all described here: https://github.com/de-luxe/burstcoin-jminer/wiki/configure-jminer.properties

Just want to mention 'showDriveInfo=true' to see how your single drives perform, may help to optimize your setup.
Or 'listPlotFiles=true' (again requires a walletServer) Will list all your plotfiles on startup and show how many blocks they won etc.

So nice to see your interest, play arround and ask if something is not clear ...
This thread was not very active due to the fact that burst has a very active forum, and most ask questions there (https://forums.burst-team.us).

it is very possible that it was my screen resolution combined with the word wrap, but literally the "example" of each parameter fell directly on the next line and character 1, appearing to a coder like me as a line of code outside of a comment block, lol. that is what led to most of my confusion was not realizing that lines were part of the preceding line as a remark

so what i saw was something like this

Code:
//you can use the message method to include a private message, this is set later in this code, nearly 40 lines later, lol
message='why did these words wrap at EXACTLY the wrong space break'

.....and much later

//here is the setting of the message method as spoke about before
message='and here i am AGAIN, i imagine, since it is Java that this is the one going to the Jar, as it is the last one in the code block, but feel free to set the variable as many times as you like, lol'

//end code block that my pc got a kick out of formatting is the PERFECT way to confuse

I understand ... i will think about how to improve that ....
I was using notepad++ or comparable to edit jminer.properties and therefore i did not see, that this may be a issue.
For me it looks like this ...

[burstcoin-jminer-0.5.1-SNAPSHOT]

Download:
https://github.com/de-luxe/burstcoin-jminer/releases

Notice:

burstcoin-jminer-0.5.x supports both, POC1 and POC2 plotfiles. This will also be the case after the fork.
However, to handle POC2 pre-fork and POC1 post-fork, twice the amount of data needs to be read and also more CPU and memory resources will be used.
The best case for a miner would be, to have converted up to 50% of plotfiles once the fork happens. That would cause the mining setup to behave exactly the same pre and post fork.

- Only use one type, POC1 or POC2 on one drive ('plotPath'), mixed will be skipped.
- Ensure your POC2 plotfiles do not have staggersize in filename , or they will be treated like POC1.
- Read speed is calculated by plotsize, so if jminer reads twice the data on e.g. POC2 pre-fork, the numbers displayed will not be accurate.
