I need help here:
Let's say i have a 4TB hdd to mine this.
What else do i need ? Does it uses the ram,cpu ? specific motherboard or what ever?
Or all it takes is the hdd?
If you want, to generate fast, you need good cpu and some ram, however you can generate with a little cpu but can take lot of time, mainly for 4tb |

Miner do not use space, that's plotting which use space, and depend on what you put in your command line to generate plot
Here is whats in console command H:\pocminer_v1>C:\Windows\System32\java.exe -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib /akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate xxxxx 0 6000000 2000 2
its a 2TB hard drive. Command itself generated a file in /pocminer/plots yet its 0B in weight... Also, Im running an instance of miner per hard disk. Am I doing it right? That's seems good to me. Don't worry for you plots file at 0b, the size grow with time (that was the same for me) You can mine during plotting, no problem, but mining on the same computer you're plotting, extend the plotting time. it was my case |

Yes you're mining
Thank you  . It's all kinda hard to understand for a newcomer, here are some questions. I know they were prob. answered before but hell, in 400 pages topic its really hard to find anything... How can I know how much disk space miner is using? I saw other people posting screens with files generated on their hard disk. Are those generated once block is found? Or should I be getting them as well? Miner do not use space, that's plotting which use space, and depend on what you put in your command line to generate plot |

I'm not quite sure whether I set miner up correctly... Im getting C:\Users\xxxxx\Desktop\pocminer_v1>C:\Windows\System32\java.exe -Xmx750m

Could someone please tell me if its mining all right? Yes you're mining |

It uses the current baseTarget to do the calculations, so: Not 100% accurate. Normally not overlapping
Not broken plots
Does a bad connection can cause higher deadline too? No, a bad connection will delay new blocks to your node (if you go solo), and reduce your chances, but has no effect on the deadline. How high are your deadlines? How many GB? 9TB ( 4 + 4 + 1 ) My deadline depends and vary a lot, sometimes 6 numbers, sometimes 4, and sometimes more (i'm on a pool) |

Does something can cause higher deadline then usually? A lot of reasons can cause a higher deadline: - overlapping plots - broken plots (you renamed the file to another starting-nonce  ) - higher network difficulty But merge process (merge by dcct) take very very more time.
You started with a low stagger size of 1024. Merge has to read lots and lots of small chunks to do the merging, which takes a long time. Try to start with a higher stagger size if possible. Thx for you're answer dcct. Normally not overlapping Not broken plots Does a bad connection can cause higher deadline too? |

Got 5400 Nonces with core i7 3930k (not oc)
6 cores at 3.2 GHz doing 5400 n/m. It`s 213.3M cycles per nonce (on 1 core) Boost clock is 3.8GHz - so get 253.3M cycles per nonce My I5-2500K (no OC too): base clock (3.3G): 204.1M cycles per nonce boost clock (3.7G): 228.9M cycles per nonce Just love math, LOL  How are you guys getting the n/m? Calculating it manually or does it show up in the linux version of the plotter? I see it in the c++ windows plotter Where is that? Sorry i try to find the post, but don't found it |

Can we do something to optimize deadline?
I feel that my deadline are bigger than yesterday

Hi everyone, After many hours of setup I finally made it. I have a 1Tb generation in progress and 3x100Gb already finished. I would like to test the V2 pool but I haven't any BURST for now. Could someone send me 1 BURST to test it please ? Here is my address : BURST-YA29-QCEW-QXC3-BKXDL. Regarding the plot generation, I found an OpenCL implementation of Shabal ( https://github.com/aznboy84/X15GPU/blob/master/kernel/shabal.cl) that could be used to make a GPU version of the generator. I will try to work on it when I have some free time. Regards Hi everyone, As promised I have been working on a GPU plot generator on the last few days. I made a little program built on top of OpenCL, and it seems to work pretty well in CPU mode. Unfortunately, I can't test the GPU mode as it requires a very powerfull graphic card (with at least 46kB private memory per compute unit, because the algorithm needs at least 4096*64 static bytes to store an entire plot). Here is a preview you can test for now : gpuPlotGenerator-src-1.0.0.7z : https://mega.co.nz/#!bcF2yKKL!3Ud86GaibgvwBehoxkbO4UNdiBgsaixRx7ksHrgNbDI gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-1.0.0.7z : https://mega.co.nz/#!HJsziTCK!UmAMoEHQ3z34R4RsXoIkYo9rYd4LnFtO_pw-R4KObJs I will build another release in the end of the day with some minor improvements (threads per compute unit selection, output of OpenCL error codes, improvement of the Makefile to generate the distribution directly). I will also try to figure out another mean to dispatch the work between the GPU threads to reduce the amount of private memory needed by the program. For the windows people, you can use the binary version directly. For the linux people, just download the source archive, make sure to modify the OpenCL library and lib path in the makefile (and maybe the executable name), and build the project via "make". To run the program, you need the "kernel" and the "plots" directories beside the executable. The executable usage is : ./gpuPlotGenerator <address> <start nonce> <nonces> <stagger size> The parameters are the same as the original plot generator, without the threads number. If you find bugs or if you want some new features, let me now. If you want to support me, here are my Bitcoin and Burst addresses : Bitcoin: 138gMBhCrNkbaiTCmUhP9HLU9xwn5QKZgD Burst: BURST-YA29-QCEW-QXC3-BKXDL Regards Just try with amd R9 290X : insufisant private ressource |

can i use the generated plots on multiple computers with same wallet...will be mining on pool...
Yes, but you can't use the same plot for each computer, different plots for each only (if you mine each at the same time) so you mean i can use the same wallet when pool mining but plots nounce shoud be different so machine 1 0 to x1 machine 2 x1 to x2 machine 3 x2 to x3 if each plot is of size 200 GB my total capacity would be 600 GB??? is this correct. Yep that's right, you can do that. |

burst is dead, i lost so much money on this   You should do a stand up comedy act so we can boo you. so we are the only ones to have the mem issue? No same problem for me, with two disk, one miner close automatically after a few times (sometimes 10min sometime 2 hours). For the moment, the only thing i found to let it run, it's to convert the .bat in a .exe and launch an app that allow to automatically restart the exe when crash.... Apparently, the biggest the disk his, more often the problem appear. Could you please share how to convert to ext and use an app to automatically restart the exe when crash. I am having this issues frequently in one system! To convert your bat on exe, use the free software "bat to exe converter", then to relaunch your exe when crash, use "knas restarter" free too. On wich pool you are? Thanks! I am in http://178.62.39.204:8121Thx, so you are on official pool |

then it can be uray pool issue, when running on windows(linux isn't affected, dunno why)
Yep i really think, i try tommorow with official pool. I juste monitoring an other computer which have 4tb too (well ploting) and miner crash too, and on core i7 4930k with 12gb ram. So really not impossible there was a problem with windows miner on uray pol |
|
|

yup windows 7
EDIT, i am on the OP dev's miner and pool. maybe his is less buggy.
Ok, apparently amph and me use the criptoport.io pool and miner One more question : when you are ploting, do you have one ploting stop before the and? Because for my 4tb disk i need to stop before the end. And that can be a reason, or not. |

burst is dead, i lost so much money on this You should do a stand up comedy act so we can boo you. so we are the only ones to have the mem issue? I got mine resolved by dropping back to 7 cores and using java -Xmx1024m in the mining bat. No crashes since. i'm speaking about the mem required with mining only not plotting, not talking about crashes(no crash for me, never) burst is dead, i lost so much money on this You should do a stand up comedy act so we can boo you. so we are the only ones to have the mem issue?

Apparently, the biggest the disk his, more often the problem appear. wait my problem is not that lol my main problem is that my ram usage is too high, 6.5 GB with 3TB hd Yep i understand that, but that the same for me, and after a moment, because i run two miner, one crash. (8gb memory and One disk with 1tb and other with 4tb) |
