My plots are all cut up because, I would close it and reopen it. This equals to 489 GB. But according to the calc, I have 45 tb of wasted space.
The tool does not know if you completed the plots - and assumes you did. With these files you have LOTS of overlapping nonces! |

For everyone who wants to know if their plot ranges do overlap: https://bchain.info/BURST/tools/overlapJust copy filenames (or output of "ls -l" or "dir") into the box. (let me know if you like it!) nice, found some overlappig in my first plot files ... but as long as i have free space i will not replot them ... or does that have any other negative aspect?! Those overlapping nonces are just wasted space. 256kb times the number of nonces, no other negative aspect. |

I like to share a little tool I wrote to increase stagger size for already finished plots. No more 8191 limit! Its simple C code - for linux only - its short, so check & compile yourself. https://bchain.info/merge.cIt does not hold everything in memory but seeks on disk to get the scoops. |

but to clarify - my generate bat files has my 'numeric ID' not my text passphrase. right?
Yes How would pools work? Everyone puts together their GB or something? I suppose: You generate your plots for the Pool's key and submit every nonce with result below a certain threshold. That would be one "share". how to now from plot file wich nonce is the last one?
like in this one : 153946000000000827_12001_8000_256 the last is 12001+8000= 20001 As 12001 is included, its 12001 + 8000 - 1 = 20000 |

so 1 overlap is no problem? and what if i change the stagger like below? because i am generating from 3 pc's to the same NAS-drive and could it be a problem for mining if 3 pc's write at same time to the hdd for seeking? run_generate.bat <adress> 0 10000000 2000 4 run_generate.bat <adress> 10000000 10000000 4000 4 run_generate.bat <adress> 20000000 10000000 500 4 when you run them like this they dont overlap. And yes, different stagger sizes are no problem. You have to try if your nas is fast enough. Maybe? |

Ok
Another dummy question.
1. I start generate plot file (in example 0 800000) but suddenly pc shut'd down. So i have plot file XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_0_800000_1000, which fullfilled only with 120gb. And of course i don't know at what nonce it was stopped
2. I start the second plots i.e XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_800000_1600000_1000, which was fully generated.
The question is would it be work correctly,too?
The plot that wasn't completely filled (№1) and the plot that was starting from non-existent numbers of nonce (№2)
Just go on with your next plot. There can be gaps between nonces with no effect on block finding chances, as long as they dont overlap. |

hey is this wrong??
run_generate.bat <adress> 0 10000000 2000 4 run_generate.bat <adress> 10000000 10000000 2000 4 run_generate.bat <adress> 20000000 10000000 2000 4 (added another "0" to starting nonce) If they overlap by just 1, thats 256kb waste of space. No big deal. Anyway, with the example above, they dont. |
|
|
|
If i just copy my 100gb plots 5 times, instead of generating them. Should be that trick work correct?
Thats a waste of space. You'd end up getting the same results as with one 100gb plot. |

pools even not finished the building,,dev says it will be soon built,how can you make sure one week or two weeks later, it's difficulty can be,,,if you solo with the pool, then your chance will be small and if you join the pool , then every one can get small number of coins,,if the pool have thousands of miners, (it is not impossible, because there are so many miners and most of them are cpu or gpu based , i believe they will join the hdd mining at the same time, why not?), and can you get 100 coins /block if you join with pool?
Look at how the difficulty grew so far. Steady growth. New users have to build up their plots first, this takes time. But of cause, theres a chance it will jump up in a few days. |

are you sure you can still mine 10 block every week? pools are building, and this coin came out only 5 days , it surely easy to mine, but next week and later? pools are building, and lots of miner will coming, 1tb is noting at all, every one can get one, i have purchased 2TB yesterday for next mining, you have only 1.2TB,,loot at the post pages, so many people have TB+ hdd, and one i remember, he has 30TB hdd, of course, he can't creating all plots now,, when every one finished plots creating and innumerable new miners coming, can you make sure that you can still get 10 block a week?
I'm quite sure if you invest 0.8 BTC and get 6 of those servers for one month, let them fill their 6TB each in 10 days, 36TB in total, and mine for another 20 days - you will end up with a lot more than 10 Blocks. |

100K for 0.8 BTC
Lol... I'll pay .08 for that. Thats what I thought. Who is paying 0.8BTC for lousy 10 Blocks? Thats >400$! I started a few days ago and rented a cheap root server (consumer hardware i7, 2x3tb) for 50€/month. Its still building the plots, 1.2TB so far, and already found 15 Blocks. After one month it will have found at least 40 blocks, if not a lot more. For 50€ (0.13 BTC)! |

Remember, reads or not that important for plot generation.
Write and caching is.
When a nonce is generated your CPU will spike. When the nonce is being written to the disk you will notice your CPU drops to almost an idle state.
Turn on some performance counters and plot them in excel for example. Disk I/O VS CPU.
Something useful if you are using Linux and have 8GB+ Ram: Turn up the write cache! (as root): echo 60 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio echo 60 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio Slow disk writes are now done in background while your CPU is working again. |

Hey,
komme aus Bochum. Ich habe hier auch den Eindruck, weit vom Bitcoin-geschehen entfernt zu sein.

For example, if the external drive is /external and poc is installed in /home/user/pocminer ? ln -s /external/plots/* /home/user/pocminer/plots |

I've created 2 files of 200GB each with: ./run_generate.sh 1xxx1 0 819100 8191 8 and ./run_generate.sh 1xxx1 819100 819100 8191 8 but still getting deadlines of ~20k. New best: 1xxx1:103625
Submitting share
{"result":"deadline: 26445"} is anything wrong here? |
