[ANN] -NEW BURST OP- MINE ANY FREE SPACE-(HDD MINING)- ATs, AE, P2P MARKET+MORE!

[Blago]

I just asked this on the other Burst thread.  How do I get an interrupted plotting file to show the actual correct size on the drive?  IOW, it is a 400GB, sitting around 55% and running, if I stop it now, I can rename the file, or even without a rename, the better miners will pick up the correct info, but the file itself will always take up 400 GB on the drive.  How can I correct that?

Search for PlotsFileChecker.exe it should be on the Burst Forums. This will truncate the file I believe and rename it also.

Nope. PlotsChecker can't help in this case. PlotsChecker only for not optimized plots.

You may interrupt Xplotter, but you need continue plotting later (using bat file)

Thank you!

Thanks Crowetic for this Awesome! asset. I managed to pick up some before they sold out at the pre-release price and also picked some up at the 190 level as they also sold out fast. This asset is going to be huge and I can't wait for this bad boy to be complete and we receive our first dividends. Good time to pick up some more Burst coins as the price has come down from the recent pump up to 117 sats.

From a recent Ethereum conference. Makes me think of the Asset Exchange.  Projects start up, offer ICO (asset shares), then pay divs. If only more people knew of Burst :/

Not to mention, the "token market" exists in a fair and decentralized fashion, starting immediately after first "tokens" are sold...

Don't worry more and more people will know about Burst in the coming months to come as there hasn't really been any PR promotion for Burst just yet. It will get the attention it deserves in time, Twitter in recent days has been blowing up with many Burst tweets and also hashtag #BURSTnation was even trending a couple of days ago so it is starting to get some attention and it would be great if people could help by spreading the word on Twitter or other social media sites. If using Twitter please be sure to use the hashtag #BURSTnation and also $Burst and if people want to know what Burst Nation is then come join us at https://www.burstnation.com/ and be rewarded with some free Burst rain everyday thanks to MisterBurst the rainmaker.

Burst is back above 100 sats in the last 24 hours and over 82 BTC volume. Like I have been saying Burst is now starting to get a lot of attention in the market place and that we can expect to this these high volume days a lot more often. I can't wait to see more 1,000 BTC volume days and then 5,000 BTC volume days which I think could happen this year.

I have finally starting to mine Burst after 8 months being in the coin, well I'm actually plotting a 1TB HDD and then after that I'll be plotting another 1TB.

So what would 1TB be generating? Scalable to say 10, 50, 100Tb etc? Worth it to scale?

Not sure at the moment as it's still plotting and once it is finished I'll be joining a pool. But I would highly recommend that the more TB's someone has the more Burst coins they would get. The minimum in my opinion is 1TB but I prefer at least 2TB for the pool I want to join as this will help with the deadlines. It's my first time so once it's all up and mining I'll be sure to share my experience here with you all and which pool I'll join.

[cesmak]

I've started a couple of months ago, and in my experience, also if i joined a small pool (more info in my signature), with 1TB. you receive quite nothing, at 5Tb. you start earning something and gain the ability to find a block in 10/15 days now i'm at a 9Tb. and with good luck i can find a couple of blocks a week, sometimes one a week.... three in a week atm. didn't happened.

Thanks for sharing your experience, I think for anyone with 1TB or less is best to join m.burst4all.com as this pool only allows up to 1TB and if someone goes over that they are banned. Below is a list of pools that show the recommended plot size to have to join that particular pool. This is a great tool to use on finding the right pool for you.

Guys, ran into a roadblock. Got my nerd friend over now and we were expecting to finish the build tonight but im missing all sorts of connector cables. Im ordering them online now with overnight delivery which only gets them here tuesday funny enough for a service called overnight. lol. But for sure Tuesday im going to be blowing you guys away. I may even start my own thread to show off this beast of a miner. It definitely warrants its own thread so it doesn't just get lost in this thread.

Any updates on this?  Would like to see such a miner...

[killerjoegreece]

what do you think is the ideal size and specs of a mining hdd guys?

more TB the better.  I've bought many hdd's from local (craigslist) for cheap.  i'm running many WD green with no burst performance issue what so ever.  tb is the the only thing that matters.  also usb3 (and esata) better than usb2.

Thank you!

I have been picking up some of this cool asset and will try to get more tonight. I think this will be a big hit and as more and more people are coming to the BURST Community it's getting to be really a hot coin now and for the future. 

[vella85]

I am now finally up and running mining Burst for the 1st time since I joined the community about 8 months ago now. So far it's only 1TB but as I speak I am also plotting another 1.2TB HDD so it will give me just a little over 2TB's which will go a long way to mining a block in the pool I'm in as the recommended TB's for the pool is 2TB's. My plan when I start earning coins is to invest 50% into assets and the other 50% keep for when the price eventually starts to go up.

has anyone ever had any luck writing a multiple plot batch file for xplotter.  it simply works better for me than wplot and due to some recent power issues here where the electricity pops on and off for a few seconds on occasion, I am plotting everything out in 20 GB chunks.  best i can think is to implement a

Code:

START /WAIT

at the beginning of each line, but not sure that will work.

 On new drives, the Seagate 8GB Archive drive (if they have decent longevity) are the current king.

 What you want for BURST mining is max capasity at lowest cost with reasonable reliability - write speed doesn't matter except while plotting, read speed on ANYTHING serial-ATA is plenty enough to keep up.
 Even the later PATA drives were plenty fast enough to handle the capasity they have so that the plots get read in a timely way.

You can invoke multiple instances of xplotter. Something like powershell would work well: loop through in 20gb chunks, calling a new instance with the updated parameters (namely, start/stop nonce). If you're doing this to the same HDD though, then only allow spinning up 1 instance at a time, so your hdd doesn't get bombarded with write data.

I just asked this on the other Burst thread.  How do I get an interrupted plotting file to show the actual correct size on the drive?  IOW, it is a 400GB, sitting around 55% and running, if I stop it now, I can rename the file, or even without a rename, the better miners will pick up the correct info, but the file itself will always take up 400 GB on the drive.  How can I correct that?

Nope. PlotsChecker can't help in this case. PlotsChecker only for not optimized plots.

You may interrupt Xplotter, but you need continue plotting later (using bat file)

I used something like this in C# when I had this problem. I'm not sure if the file was optimized or not, but setting N to the right value should do the job:

Code:

FileStream fs = new FileStream(FilePathAndName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
fs.SetLength(8192*N);
fs.Close();
