[ANN][BURST] Burst | Efficient HDD Mining | New 1.2.3 Fork block 92000

Does anyone have a readme for Blagos miner? I'd like to solo mine, but the google doc only shows how to pool mine.

Check this out: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.msg9863013#msg9863013

Thanks, how do you know if everything is functioning properly? I think I got everything working, but I'm not certain whether or not it's really 'working' so to speak. There is little to no documentation for the miner so I don't have any idea what any of the dialogue or options actually mean.

Like what is: dl sdl cdl ss rs?

How often does the mining 'phase' happen? How do you know if you found a block mining solo? How do you know how long it took to process the last deadline and what the deadline is (I'm using blagos)? What is the initial 'mine' that happens when you start the miner up, where the percentage in the bottom left counts up?

What is optimizing people talk about and how do you do it? What does it mean?

How often does the mining 'phase' happen?

Every new block (~4 min)

How do you know if you found a block mining solo?

You got burst in the wallet

How do you know how long it took to process the last deadline and what the deadline is (I'm using blagos)?

see stat-log.csv  (ID, #block, baseTarget, best_Deadline)

What is the initial 'mine' that happens when you start the miner up, where the percentage in the bottom left counts up?

percentage of reading of plots

What is optimizing people talk about and how do you do it? What does it mean?

merge the plots, defrag HDDs

Blago mate, is there an option to limit the log size? I have seen mine grown to 200mb in a few weeks.

Thanks for the reply.

I get "File XXXXX Locked" errors while mining with blagos on all five of my plots (on five hard drives), right at 99%. This doesn't happen all the time, but happens on occasion (like 20% of the time).

I added a bit extra onto the plot (number of nonces) as I wasn't exactly sure how to calculate the full file size of the drive when I plotted it and let it error out when it hit it. As per the google doc, I renamed the doc to the plot size / 262,144. This however gives me a decimal number and you can't use a decimal number so I just lopped it off, which seems to work besides the file locked. Not sure if the 'file locked' error message relates to this though.

I also set my stager size to 8192, which is exactly the amount of memory I have (8GB). Could this also be causing it?


As per your screenshot, I don't have a display on the miner that shows thread/sec/files like yours. It doesn't display that.

• showing MA21 instead of MA50
• MA21 and MA7 are now displayed in the chart in area-style
• blockreward is displayed in the chart now
• MA7 is displayed in the sum-tables
• calculation is now done up to today and not the last day with transactions/blocks

Hi, I have unconfirmed transaction even after many blocks on set reward assignments. Please check the image attached. I have deleted the burst_db folder and resync, and also setting "nxt.enableDebugAPI=true", restart the client, go to http://127.0.0.1:8125/test?requestTag=DEBUG and click clearUnconfirmedTransactions. But 2 methods with no clue. Any solution? Thanks!

Any help? I cannot set reward assignments with the unconfirmed transaction stucked.

same happend to me some days agoo, if you already did it just w8 24h or so and check it again, should be more "empty" or 100% empty, if this is not empty 100% do it again and w8 another 24h.

As i say i got the same issue some days agoo and for me it works, take some time yes, but finally it works.

good luck and tell us i for you it works

to made things more clear what i did was:

• setting "nxt.enableDebugAPI=true"
• go to http://127.0.0.1:8125/test?requestTag=DEBUG and click clearUnconfirmedTransactions
• deleted the burst_db folder and resync
• w8 24h at least
• check it again, if is not 100% empty about unconfirmed transactions, do it again.

pd: dont try to set another reward assignments before the 100% unconfirmed transactions are cleared.

Thank you for help. I will perform the setting and resync again. Thanks~~

Hey everyone I just stumbled on BurstCoin, I am running Mac OS X and I want to get involved in this coin.
Questions:
1. How do I get a wallet setup/compiled
2. How do I get the miner setup/compiled
I don't have a lot of experience in compiling so a speaking in Newbie terms would be great.
Thank you for your time.

hi, i am currently running on mac OS X. i set up following krudsy guide in this thread https://hashtalk.org/topic/6622/huh-has-anyone-tried-this-hdd-mining-burstcoin/569

if you have any specific question just ask

If you don't want to wait for a full manual blockchain download you can start off at 1-16-2015 with either a torrent download or a dropbox download.

Wow, thank you for the link, it will help alot~~

[mmmaybe]

You simple don't want my money, heh...? Well, I'll give it another try

We need help from the community! So why not a little competition hehe

A Second Competition
What we need is
1) a better presentation on the Twitter account (winner submission will get 10,000 burst
2) a list of tweets about burst (selected winners will get 2,000 burst, where the maximum payout from us is 50,000 burst)

Competitors are allowed to submit how many suggestions they want, but only the onces picked will be paid. Proper English is not a prerequisite, the team will handle that (not me )

How to participate
Please do not post your submissions in the thread, as that might be against the rules of bitcointalk. Instead:
1) email your BURST address, 2) your name on bitcointalk and 3) your suggestions. The email address is  burst@countermail.com
2) cope/paste the exact text from the email and PM them to me here at bitcointalk. If you do not both email and PM your answer will be out of competition.

Please note that a tweet and a presentation can be no longer than 150 characters!



Good luck, have fun - and please help BURST!

How many BURST could I mine with a E3 CPU,3T HDD per day? thx~

Great Job! Just a question. What do MA21,MA50 & MA7 stand for ?
Seems related to statistical data analysis but I can't figure it out & their importance !

I get "File XXXXX Locked" errors while mining with blagos on all five of my plots (on five hard drives), right at 99%. This doesn't happen all the time, but happens on occasion (like 20% of the time).

Error occurs because of a problem in windows 7 memory menagement. The system tries to cache the entire file into memory, it causes a lack of memory.
Split your plots by 100-200 Gb & merge the plots.

I added a bit extra onto the plot (number of nonces) as I wasn't exactly sure how to calculate the full file size of the drive when I plotted it and let it error out when it hit it. As per the google doc, I renamed the doc to the plot size / 262,144.

Not sure if the 'file locked' error message relates to this though.

replot damaged files and merge them. Stager size (8192) does not matter if you do then merging.
gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate buffer h:\plots\xxxxxxxxxxxxxx_start_count_stagger

count = integer_number * stagger   (409600 = 100 * 4096)
for example:
1. gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate buffer h:\plots\17930413153828766298_0_409600_4096
2. optimize.exe 17930413153828766298_0_409600_4096

I'm using Win 8.1 x64, I probably should've said that right away.

I was told that if you plot files with more nonces then the HD can hold, the plotter just errors out, but the files are good? I don't have more then one plot on each HD, just one per HD.

I also get 'fast block or corrupted file' once or twice per 'mine' too. It doesn't happen on the same plots and it seems random.

Same problem here

I have tried to switch away from urays SG pool for ~2 weeks now, still 0 confirmations.. I have waited everything from a few hours to several days before trying again.

Any solutions to this or should we all just keep trying and hope it eventually works?
