Hi guys, I have a question. The background is rather theoretical, but maybe
you Burst-miners can help.

I have a dataset of 32 byte words and want to apply Shabal to each word.
To be clear, there are no "Shabal-rounds" anywhere, I want to apply Shabal
to independent pieces of data:
(x_1, x_2, ....) |-> (Shabal(x_1), Shabal(x_2), ....)
(Each x_i is a 32 byte word).
If I have a GPU at hand, I guess one could parallelize this: Divide the dataset
into N words, load them into GPU memory and let some opencl implementation
of Shabal do the work.

My question:
1. What is the optimal N? (I guess, depends on GPU.. But just some number of
some reasonable GPU would be great) Can such an optimal N be easily calculated
from some GPU data (i.e. N = # of shaders / memory, or another formula, I'm
clueless sorry  )
2. What speed can I achieve? I.e., how many segments (I call such a cluster
consisting of N 32-byte-words "a segment", hope that's not conflicting notation).
Or, put differently, if I optimize my parallelization, and given that my dataset is
quickly available, how many Shabal-computations can I expect.

I turn to this thread because this is, if I'm not wrong, basically the task
a GPU Burst miner performs. So, put again differently, my question is:
Assume your plots lie in main memory or SSD (I just want to take HDD
speed out of the equation), how many nonces can a GPU process per
second?

Thanks!

Then, when the mining part comes, that is test day and you just have to look at the test questions and find the answer in the list you have stored on the hard drive.  This is nowhere near the reality of Burstcoin, but the plotting is where the GPU would do its job.

Just improved Linux/OSX plotter to produce fully optimized plots of any size on any RAM size, just specify option -m 0

You can try it from here: https://github.com/k06a/mjminer/tree/feature/file-mapping

Pull Request: https://github.com/r-majere/mjminer/pull/3

Nope.

Code:

gcc -D LINUX -O2 -Wall -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -o plot plot.c helper.o -lpthread -std=gnu99 
/tmp/cc9MPJHq.o: In function `mnonce':
plot.c:(.text+0x346): undefined reference to `sse4_mshabal_init'

plot.c:(.text+0x72c): undefined reference to `shabal_close'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:44: plot] Error 1

Trying to compile this on an old Nehalem Xeon. No luck so far, AFAICS you hard-coded-assume the SSE4 capability to be present.

It's a pitty, especially on the older/weaker machines I'd like to not have to go 2-pass over the plot file.

There is a Java based miner that can use the GPU to read the plots fastest, but there is little strain put on the GPU from what I have seen.  This speed is really only needed in the cases where another miner gets the DL on the head within the first few seconds, if the block is solved that quick and your miner has not been able to find, send and get a confirmation on its DL, then you would lose out on that block, not something that happens very often.

Since now bitcoins has become so expensive now for normal gamblers it is quite hard to play with bitcoins. Burst can be easily mined and prices are also low so many gamblers can start gambling with this coin. Also, bitsler is one of the best and trusted site gamble and it has a lot of players. By including this coin to gamble will boost the burst coin market value.

What is your HDD capacity? Pool? How long did it take?

6tb 2min ghost block.

Hello, I'm relative new with burstcoin. I just wonder that most miner have reading rates of 300MB/s. I have only 30MB/s. does anyone have an idea why it is so slow? i have 2 x 8tb (Seagate Archive HDD SATA III 8TB), both in a usb3 hdd docking station connected on a usb3 on my notebook.

I want to use my notebook because it has very low enrgy consumption. is there a faster setup for it?

regards, eric

what about you miner.conf???
how are you reading your plots directory??
are you reading in parallel whit all the threads available??

I use Blago's miner and it's the best. You can also try a GPU miner but this just changes the speed in which your nonces are read but your deadlines remain the same, it does not mean you will get more Burst, for that you need more hard drive space.

[HITTI2]

Added another 3tb.

My very first forged mined block.

  Sorry for stupid question. If I want to invest on HDD to mining Burst at this time. Does it late? Any future or equip return after done volume of Bust mined. How long Burst will be mining done?
Thanks

it's never too late because if burst goes to 60000 sat, you can speed up your roi!!!

good luck!

I just hit a 135burst!!!
