So what I can do with 24TB per day?  

~3 Blocks/day. Happy mining!

Wow, thanks!

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?

Does internet connection matters if for example 100 TB ?

You do not need a faster internet connection with more TB. 1Mbit is plenty.

With 100TB your deadlines should be around 4k seconds, only some of them higher.

Block 10000!!

It uses the current baseTarget to do the calculations, so: Not 100% accurate.




So with 24TB, how much you can earn in 24 hours?

you need 24-48 days to plot those first, good luck lol

also 3TB are 2720 after formatting so you have 21760gb at the end, not 24

I am thinking about future where PB farm is common. Let say if its 1000 PB , internet speed have to increase ?

Bitcoin holds the record for having the highest computing power on Earth.

I wonder if Burst will hold the record for having the highest disk space.

Imagine in the future Burst can make use of those plot to store data.

It could possibly store data for the entire world

Is it possible to make p2pool to help decentralize this coin ?

What if he "copy and paste" ? That is where the magic happens

This calculator is reliable?

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)

I'm not quite sure whether I set miner up correctly... Im getting

Could someone please tell me if its mining all right?

Yes you're mining

[Patek]

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?

You're still fine with 1Mbit. Maybe even less.

Roughly $50/day at current rates.

Miner do not use space, that's plotting which use space, and depend on what you put in your command line to generate plot

[DailyModo]

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?

Here is whats in console command

Code:

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

[babun]

Hi,

If I have multiple computers, each of them having it's own 1TB hdd, mining in same v2 pool with same id.

Should I need to be careful of non-overlapping plots across the multiple computers?

[Sglasio]

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 :

Burst: BURST-YA29-QCEW-QXC3-BKXDL

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
