How to run miner.startPlot command? Could you give some working example? It seems that the last two arguments have to be strings and I don't know how should I type them, as this method returns false for everything I tried so far.
for example miner.startPlot("0x5f7c7d777de1f62bc7bcae425a136df52b858fa84e31e64bf5",0,"256MB","256GB")

some users have emailed to us, the node has not synchronized blocks. This is because we have updated wallets. Please download the latest linux wallet through the official website to participate in the test. thank you.
If you have completed plotting, you only need to update the wallet software, no need to repeat plotting.

Now, plotting function returns true, but there are no files in the plotting directory. Also, is it possible to connect through Tor? I am guessing that if I am not connected, plotting will not start. I can see zero peers in console messages, so I am guessing that is the root of my problems.

1、You should update your wallet first; 2、in your console,If you see {"code":0,"msg":"ok","current":10,"total":500,"name":"xxxxxx_xxxxx_xxxxx"},plotting is ok. else you should check your plotting directory.

Now it works, but as I have less than 1 TB, I didn't mine any block so far.

I tried it with my setup that may sound silly, but still, I think we should expect such use cases in practice. So, I plotted 1 GB of my unused disk space (the rest is allocated for many different coins and other stuff), I chose 1 MB files, so there are 1024 pieces. As far as I can see, there are only a few blocks, between 10 and 20 in the whole network. There are just a few miners that own single coins, the rest consists of old coins from the first version of luck. Probably, only people with 1 TB or bigger hard disks mined anything so far in luck2.
So, if 1 TB is a must to mine something, I wonder how long it would take to form another kind of pool here. Now, the situation is as follows: those who has huge hard disks can mine anything and those who doesn't have won't solve a block or will have to wait for a very long time to get their first block. Conclusion: I expect that people having small unused hard disks on some Raspberry Pi devices, USB sticks and similar, will sooner or later create a pool. Then, 1024 miners having 1 GB each will form a pool with 1 TB storage. And then, each miner will receive 0.001 coin (or 0.00099 if we consider 1% fee for mining pool).
Again, as I said previously: from my perspective the problem is not in the mining algorithm. It is important of course, it decides what is and what isn't profitable. But the whole thing is about receiving something below block reward. I will repeat it again: if it would be possible for me to receive one satoshi per day, I would start using my CPU to mine Bitcoin and maybe leave all altcoins behind if it turns out to be more profitable to stick just with Bitcoin.
Going from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake solved some problems. We placed our coin in some kind of niche where there is not that much miners using similar consensus. So, we can expect it would take some time until big miners will come here. I still expect that most mining will be done on big server farms, where 1 TB storage is quite negligible and where that amount of data is produced daily.
To sum up: I don't expect any profits from solo mining, but maybe I will be active as an user of such coins. I think users should not have enormously big hard drives, assuming than they would want to run some kind of luck2 app on their smartphones and create transactions in this way. As this coin survived after failed hard-fork, I expect it still has some potential. I also noticed that deposits and withdrawals are active again on qTrade, are they sticking with the old chain, is it some kind of bug, are they playing with test coins, or something completely different is going on? I think that if someone paid for listing luck on qTrade, that should be handled as soon as possible.

In response to the two days of testing and after technical discussions with the test miners, the following adjustments will be made to the test: Without reducing the security of the system, the hard disk capacity requirement of a single node is reduced from more than 1T to between 10G-60G to meet the needs of a wider range of miners. Of course, larger capacity will bring additional, less obvious advantages. The system for adjusting parameters is currently being tested, and the test chain will be restarted within 1 day.
In addition, the technical problems encountered by some miners during the plotting process are shared as follows: 1 Crash occurred during ploting. Some miners perform plotting on multi-core machines and set the size of a single file to be too large, which leads to insufficient memory during the plotting process and crashes. If crash occurs, it is recommended to delete all the hash files in the plotting directory and reset the parameters for plotting.
2 Cannot mine normally after plotting ends There are two possible reasons for the failure of mining after plotting. 2.1 The wallet address used in the plotting process is inconsistent with the mining process. 2.2 Insufficient hard disk capacity.

Hi Dev,
Can you please post latest links to Windows / Linux compiled wallets and explorer. (Might be a good idea to stick them on the first page also) Thanks

The test chain has been restarted, and the hard disk capacity requirements have been reduced to between 10G-60G. Please download the latest wallet from the official website and start mining again. The nodes that have been plotting do not need to re-plotting. Any deadline for mainnet ?
If everything goes well, the mainnet will be launched in early February. Hi Dev,
Can you please post latest links to Windows / Linux compiled wallets and explorer. (Might be a good idea to stick them on the first page also) Thanks
Good suggestions.

windows I'm not familiar with linux Just use some virtual machine with some linux and run your miner from there. By the way, running miners on virtual machines is in general a good idea, because then you have full control over your resources and for example avoid burning your CPU if some suspected app will bypass some safety limits. More than that: because source code is not available yet, using virtual machine is also a good idea to be more secure against potentially malicious versions. And if you don't want to run virtual machine, you can also use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), it should also work.

At present, luck2-2POC's testnet is relatively stable. We have released the Windows GUI version of the mining program on the website. The testnet is still in progress. Welcome to to join in the test. As the requirements for hard disks are reduced to 10G-60G, you do not need to carry hard disk capacity information when sending emails.

in windows wallet, you can click "plot", then fill in the correct parameters and click "submit". the plotting process will take one hour. But the first round of testing have been closed. you can wait for the second round of testing, which will be started on February 13, 2021
