Over 100 btc lost this week, not too bad.  Unfortunately I had to divest to meet the demand in the LBC business, but I hope to reinvest shortly.

Huh, yea its really weird.  I will get anywhere from 6 to 20 after a round finishes for no reason.  Everything gets submitted fine and I am getting paid no problem, so it doesn't really bother me.

I am hoping my issues will be resolved once this drive finishes optimizing.  It is about 25% of the way done and I started the miner on the new plot that is being created. and it seems to be reading in the 800 to 2000 mh/s range.  If that is the real read speed, then I am ready to expand this thing big time.  I am picking up a NAS that someone was selling on craigslist that has 8 slots and comes with 3 TB hard drives in all slots for a total of 24 TB.  Will be cool if I can get this thing going.

What does, "Unable to get mining info from wallet" mean in Jminer?

Ok, I had been using a Rosewill 10 port hub that is only 2.0 read speed.  I took the drive off of that and plugged it straight into a 3.0 USB socket attached to the MOBO and am still getting the same speeds.

I downloaded the optimizer and that is currently running to optimize the 8 TB plot.  That is about my last hope at this point.  Not sure what else to do.  I kind of figured i would go ahead and build another PC for this, but frankly without hard evidence that I can get the speeds I think I should be able to, I don't really want to shell out 1.5k without being totally sure.

Ok, so the GPU miner is running, but I am not getting any faster read times from my hard drives.  All but one was plotted using CPU, so they should all be optimized besides that 8 TB drive.  I took it out and am getting slightly faster read times, but when I put it back in it is just as slow as the CPU reader.

I would think that whether it is optimized or not, the GPU should get faster read times than the CPU right?

It looks like the Java version is the issue.  I put in the pause statement, which was very helpful, and it is showing this...
"Error: This Java instance does not support a 64-bit JVM.
Please install the desired version"

I went to the website you put there and downloaded and installed the Java version and it still shows the same message.  I have not rebooted the rig since it is currently plotting, could that be the issue?

EDIT:  I restarted the machine and no change from that message.

EDIT2: Freaking A, I was clicking the wrong download link, got 64 bit installed and it seems to be starting up.  Let me test on main rig and Ill let you know.

I am tired of messing with this jminer to try to get my GPU's to run so I will be opening bounties to get the parts done that I need done, starting with the ones that are holding me back the most.

Bounty 1 - Teamviewer into my machine and get Jminer setup.  This should use my graphics card which is currently a 280x, which should be able to check around 200 Mb/s with this working.

Yea, I believe the end number needs to be divisible by 8 and the second to last needs to be divisible by the last.

So to run the optimizer, it doesn't just write over the current file?  I need a new space to save it to?

Gotcha,

How long did it take you to write 8 TB with your CPU?

But doesn't the GPUplotgenerator only use the RAM from the GPU?  I didn't think it had anything to do with the RAM in your computer when using the GPUplotgenerator?

If I am mistaken, which setting is it that would change to fix that?  Can you share your device file line?

I have recently gotten into Burstcoin mining, for various reasons that won't be discussed in this thread.  But am having some issues with a couple of aspects of it.  Here is my current setup and questions...

I bought three Seagate 8 TB hard drives from amazon, link below...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HAPGEIE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
which I am working on getting set up to mine.

First, I have a rig that I am using for plotting, so far it has gotten faster plot times than my mining rig, so I have been using it.
I was able to get GPUplotter up and running on it, but am only able to get about 5200 nonces/minute.  I have 4 cards in this machine, a 1080 TI, 1080, 1080, and 1070 and am currently using the 1080Ti to plot.  Here is my device file...
0 0 1792 256 8192
and here is my start file
gpuPlotGenerator generate buffer d:\Burst\plots\6122256529182459080_50000000_30498624_2496
The machine only has 4 GB of RAM, but if I understand it correctly that shouldn't matter since it uses the 1080Ti only.

So question one is, shouldn't I be able to get faster plot time than about 5200?  I have been reading that some people are in the 20k range and figured a 1080Ti should be up there pretty high?

Second, I have a rig that I have the hard drives plugged into once they are done plotting.  I have gotten through 1 of the 8 TB HD's, and have a few smaller external HD's that I had laying around that I have been testing with.
This rig has 16 GB of RAM and an i5-4670K CPU at 3.40GHz (4 CPU's) and 2x 280x 4 GB GPU's.
The hard drives are plugged into a powered USB hub, which is then plugged into the computer.
When I run the CPU miner that comes with the Burst wallet, I get about 35 Mb/s when scanning the extra external hard drives, but it drops to only about 20 Mb/s when scanning the 8 TB ones.

Question two is, should I be getting faster scan times with these computer specs?  It just seems painfully slow to go through almost 12 TB in nearly a minute and a half to two minutes and I don't think I would be able to expand anymore, which is against my plan.

Question three is, I have been trying to get the Jminer to run, which uses the GPU, but all that has happened is a black screen shows up and then disappears after a quarter of second and that is it.  I tried it on both the mining and plotting rig and both the same issue.  I downloaded Java 8 from here...
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/overview/java8-2100321.html
and I am pretty sure my OpenCL is fine since both machines are able to mine with no issues.  So I am not sure what the problem is.

The first problem I need to solve is how to scan through the hard drives faster.  It takes about 3 days to plot a 8 TB drive currently, but I can at least grow the operation with that, not so much with the current mining speeds.  Any help would be greatly appreciated and I would be willing to pay a bounty to anyone who can get these things working.

Thanks,

Do you have an asking price?

Would there be a possible option to pay extra and have windows installed?

Could you give me a shipping estimate to 66062 KS?

And if I give you a payout address, could you set it all up to just plug in, start up, and mine?

If you would like to send cash in the mail, I would be happy to sell you as much bitcoin as you need.  You will not get any people willing to sell for the ways you have currently advertised.

Posting to follow and see price

I would take all 3 if you would take .8 btc ea shipped?

Can anyone who has burst mining experience give me some advice?  I ran the plotter and it finished.  I started up the mining process and paid my 1 coin to set my pool.  It told me to put my passphrase into the first box and BURST-32TT-TSAC-HTKW-CC26C into the second box, so I assume it should be mining at pool.burst-team.us.  I click start mining and it is running and it looks like is doing what it should be doing.  Every now and then I get a message that says a deadline was found, but there aren't any coins coming into my wallet.  It has been almost 24 hours now, and nothing.

If I go to the pools website, I am not even sure how to check my stats, nothing really shows up on the page.

Any advice?

Have you done any research on what it would take to run a farm of that size?  You really should do some thorough research on what can be expected and potential problems before buying a ton of equipment.  Then slowly work your way up to that point.

If i have a rig minig zcash, would it also be fine mining burst with an external hard drive?
