what happens in you rename your plots? for example

16036893174223139082_1_1800000_1000

i had to stop it at 500000... to avoid confusing the over lap tool could i rename it to

16036893174223139082_1_500000_1000  ?

This way its ok. But never change stagger size or starting nonce.

You know you messed up when you get huge huge deadlines.

if i wanted to know the exact nonce it stopped on could i divide the size of the file by like 256 times the stagger level or something so i have a accurate list?

Just divide the size in bytes by 262144, thats the total number of nonces.

I can`t understand why miner not mining) I fight with him 4 hours) in 2 different machines. Someone else have same problem?

will v1 pool be close down ? I am new and mining at v1 pool

v1 pool might get converted to a v2, however it will be up and you will be able to keep using the same plots either way.

with v1 i am able to mine using exchange wallet address to generate mining address but v2 i have to download wallet because of pass phase. Am i correct ?

Correct. with v1 you can register any address and the coins will be sent there. v2 has a more complicated procedure. With v1, your plot files are only usable on that pool, but with v2 you aren't stuck to one pool.

i have multiple HDD on different computer mining to the same pool generated address (v1) , all the HDD is using exactly the same setting (same nouce starting and ending number) , all of them mining generate the same "generationSignature" and i overlaying ?

in that case v1 is much more easier to use because i don't need to download and setup wallet and i don't need 1 burst

please advice , if i have a two indentical hard drives and one of the hard drive has completed to plot  and i will copy the disk to the second one it will work ?
or every disk need to be plotted separatelly ?

You need to use different starting nonce on each, any overlap in ranges is wasted space.

Need to be plotted seperatly. Copying the plot files will just result in both doing the same work and getting the same results.

Based on what I learned today, most definitely.

HD 1 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate 4651495086655359966 1 10800000 1000 4
HD 2 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate 4651495086655359966 1 5400000 1000 4
HD 3 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate 4651495086655359966 1 3720000 1000 4
HD 4 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate 4651495086655359966 1 2840000 1000 4
HD 5 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate 4651495086655359966 1 2400000 1000 4
HD 6 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate 4651495086655359966 1 3200000 1000 4

They all overlap 

> 4651495086655359966 1 10800000 1000 4

this generates nonces from 1 to (1+ 10800000 -1)

the next one generates the same nonces.

The second one should be:
HD 2 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate 4651495086655359966 10800000 5400000 1000 4

then:
HD 3 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate 4651495086655359966 16200000 3720000 1000 4

I'm afraid you have to delete Your plots on HD2 to HD6 and redo them.

i cant recall whether this was answered before but can you have multiple miner instances point to a v2 pool mining to the same burst address? i've got a second instance pointed to the pool but have yet to see it submit a valid share. It could just be it hasn't found one yet which is very likely as i've justed started plotting on this second PC. just wanted to check it does work though.

Should be fine.

Any estimates of current network size in TB (probably PB by now)?

How would I go about calculating this for myself?

[HoldTheLine]

Hey guys,

Just bought 2x 4TB drives to dedicate solely to mining burst. Following the Windows guide now but was wondering whether someone could give me the optimal settings for my drives? I.e. the maximum number of coins per drive.

Just asking because I see the windows guide is a month old and I expect everyone has fine tuned the settings by now!

Thanks in advance!

There's no real tweaking by HDD brand like there is with GPU mining.

There are a few things you can do to generate plots faster but with 2x4tb you should be up and running quickly just by following the guide... you don't have to fully generate 8tb worth of plot space before you can begin mining. Your "hashrate" will ramp up as your plots build in size.

Keep a bunch of memory open so things run nice and smoothly, and SYNC YOUR COMPUTER CLOCK TO TIME.NIST.GOV before your run your miner!

Thank you brother!

Any particular settings/values I need to chnage in the guide to get maximum efficiency on these drives? Or can I litterally just follow the guide verbatim and be up and running full speed?

Thanks again!

edit: works! second miner just logged it submitted a share to the pool

[Razerglass]

is it possible for two different miners with different wallets to submit shares to the same address?

for example when i first started learning how to plot i was using my old ID/old wallet passphrase, when i figured it out i started a new wallet with new ID and new plots, is there a way i can run my old one on a different computer to utilize the plots for my new wallet?

There's very little to worry about regarding performance after plotting is done, however a lot of people overlook the stagger size parameter. The higher the stagger, the faster it will read, and also the less stress will be put on the disk while mining. The speed increase isn't too important, since it won't likely make sufficient difference, but I like my disks to last. If using higher stagger values, with the java plotter, you need to use 64 bit java, and adjust the path in your bat accordingly.

i dont believe this is possible as you use the wallets pubkey when plotting your nounces so your plots are specific to one wallet address.
