I'm referring to the back line faults in the Java code that allow hackers to basically reroute mining coins to their own wallets.  It's a fairly well known Java fault, but only in this coin mining case is it useful for anything, so I'm not surprised it was never heard of for the most part until now.

Can you please give some citations describing these faults?

my wallet has a dozen harddrives from 0- to like 50million~

Answered on the new forum.

In that version the nonce.cl file is in the Kernel folder...

OK, I used the wrong command to extract the archive ("7z e <filename>").  The cd command is not necessary.

I didnt change anything for the new plots im generating on the new 2 drives.  Are you saying the nonces will be same as the first drive I created them on all doing the same thing? Doesn't sound right.....  Maybe if I used one instance miner per drive right?

If you generated the nonces with exactly the same command, the nonces should be the same.

I'm not linux-y, so I don't know what running this command does:
Code:
cd kernel && ln -s ../nonce.cl

It appears to change directory into the kernel folder (assuming you are already in the root of the gpu plotter folder). The second part of the command... this creates a link somewhere?? I run that command and I get this:
Quote
ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘./nonce.cl’: File exists

Can you let me know which version you downloaded, so I know we're talking about the same thing?

The "cd" command lets the program find the kernel code where it expects to.  You could probably also change "loadSource("kernel/nonce.cl")" in the .cpp file to the correct relative path for nonce.cl.

so everyone who has nonce 1-1,000,000 will have a different deadline right?

Did you use a different address for each drive?

what makes someone have a lower deadline than someone else?  each one of my 1tb harddrives look like they all have the same deadline ( running over a dozen instances)

Sounds like you may have plotted with the same set of nonces in each case.

I got the "too early" message initially, too.  Try browsing to the faucet in an incognito window.
229  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][BURST] Burst | Efficient POC Mining | Update to 1.1.0 before block 11800 on: September 09, 2014, 08:05:28 PM
I keep getting this error now when I issue the "make" command:
Quote
Linking [bin/gpuPlotGenerator.exe]
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lopencl
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [bin/gpuPlotGenerator.exe] Error 1

I've tried Googling the error and see that a bunch of posts on the issue, but can't seem to correct this "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lopencl" error. Any suggestions?

The correction for that particular error is to use "-lOpenCL" instead (assuming you've installed opencl with "sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-libopencl1" first.)

However, I found the makefile is incompatible with linux.  It may work better if you change the "CC"s to "C++", but I haven't tried.  I did get it to compile with the single command

Code:
g++ -ansi -pedantic -W -Wall -std=c++0x gpuPlotGenerator.cpp -lOpenCL

I also had to do "( cd kernel && ln -s ../nonce.cl )", since it seems to expect to find the file there (In my version, it's in the root dir.)  Then the command "./gpuPlotGenerator ./plots/ 0 10 10 10 10" ran without errors (on an NVIDIA GTX Black.)

Edit: However, when I try something more substantial, like a stagger size of 64 and a thread num of 64, I get ">>> [-5] Error in synchronous read".  -5 is out of resources.

Edit 2:  Following the advice here, I added

Code:
			error = clFinish(commandQueue);
if (error != CL_SUCCESS) {
  throw opencl_error(error, "Error after running kernel");
}

in between the clEnqueueNDRangeKernel and clEnqueueReadBuffer calls.  I get error -36, "invalid command queue", which apparently can still mean insufficient resources.  A titan black is pretty beefy, though.

I do not think there is any problem if price stable around 300 Satoshi,
It's good even you are getting chance to buy cheap and price also stable.

Yes, I will buy up to 2 BTC of burst at that price.
231  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][BURST] Burst | Efficient POC Mining | New multipools on: September 09, 2014, 03:25:32 AM
can i leave all to 99% and close the plot generation or you suggest me to start from scratch ?

Yep, just kill the plot generator jobs.

The GPU mode is still kind of buggy on my graphic card (an old GeForce 9300M GS), don't know the exact reason yet. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I will try to fix this issue tomorrow.

I would never say never, but I am quite skeptical about the nonce computation ever being modified for major speed gains on current GPUs.  It requires each thread to crawl over every part of a 256k buffer while computing shabal hashes for all of it, and the cores on top-end GPUs only contain 64kb of memory.  I can't see any way to avoid a huge amount memory bandwidth.  This is a different problem than for scrypt (where you can trade the memory for extra computation), in that it actually requires access to the memory, or perhaps some fast way to find shabal preimages.

Is it a way to restore your progress when you restart the run_generate.bat

It's not really necessary, you just have to make sure they don't overlap.  I've taken to starting mine with "./run_generate.sh <account#> <random number between 1 and 263-1> 8191 4."  The odds of an overlap are so small that it's not worth worrying about.
234  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][BURST] Burst | Efficient POC Mining | New multipools on: September 08, 2014, 04:10:28 AM
For solo or pool mining, I would need to generate the plots for your own address, so unfortunately I can't pre-generate plots. However, I can deploy storage very quickly in the cloud.

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind.

Is it simply that no one involved looks at the blockchain?

Edit: Never mind, found an answer.
236  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][BURST] Burst | Efficient POC Mining | New multipools on: September 08, 2014, 03:08:14 AM
I have 4TB drives available to start generating plots immediately (which would take 2-3 days to complete) after which I could ship the drive. For other capacities, I would have to wait a few days for shipping to me first, so a 6TB drive would likely ship from me in about a week. The included shipping is UPS ground, though if you wanted the drive faster I can offer faster shipping for an additional fee.

What about renting?  Do you have plots ready to go for that?
237  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][BURST] Burst | Efficient POC Mining | New multipools on: September 08, 2014, 02:51:44 AM
For anyone interested in purchasing pre-plotted external hard drives, or renting cloud mining for USD/BTC/BURST:

How long will it take you to ship the drive?

wd toshiba seagate are about to get greedy when they catch on to this trend..

I've been wondering about this, too, but I'm skeptical.  There's no evidence that cryptocurrency mining has had a substantial impact on the finances of AMD.

How can you estimate the difficulty and storage space committed?
