Password rar'ed miner: https://mega.co.nz/#!voQn2QpC!brWwuYvfk-xtfTHHVSaapVESPhR24gEM1qEy2uH7PUo

Password will be released in 40 minutes. I'll do some kind of write up here on usage some time before then probably. If not, there is also a guide in the archive.

File size is large due to jar dependencies.

Password: 1h:;Bh;p6Wb|ASwLW*U8;QZyr)T6MyScQSm6hMs2%MLflX&F@7
You can now start generating plots.

EDIT: non-passworded version now available also: https://mega.co.nz/#!b0pzHajA!ERk068l5NS6kR7zdLdTgltqyPw3Z60lwAWvgXtNQNTk

Thanks! I'm setting mine up right now. Can't wait to join the race for blocks.

Is there any technical whitepaper guys?

'missing args' error when i run run_generate.bat

You need to give it command line parameters.

Follow the quickstart in the readme:

Quickstart(for windows):
Sync your clock. Go to set date/time -> Internet time, and manually make it sync.
Java must be installed and runnable from the command line.
Put a long password in passphrases.txt
Run run_dump_address.bat
Copy the long number generated after your password from address.txt
Now you can run run_generate.bat like this "run_generate.bat <number retrieved in last step> <plot number you want to start with> <number of plots you want to generate> 8191 <number of threads>
The number of plots should be a multiple of 8191.
This will generate plots with nonces from <starting plot num> up to <starting plot + number of plots>. Don't make overlapping ranges.
When your client is running and synced, run run_mine.bat to start mining.
You can mine while still generating plots. The miner will throw some read errors, but you can ignore them.
Use the password from before to access your coins in the wallet.

Getting "could not reserve enough space for object heap" when trying to generate plots

[notsofast]

I'm totally mining this. Brain going wild trying to think of ways to extract value from the concept.

Payment to digital archivists?

Plot mining as a distributed alarm system for hdd failures?

have you looked at storj.io?

I will now. Thanks.

Getting "could not reserve enough space for object heap" when trying to generate plots

Use a smaller value instead of 8191 then, and make the number of plots a multiple of that. 8191 is ideal if you have a lot of ram, but unusable if you don't. Try 4000 or something instead. Higher numbers cause less HDD seeking while mining, but take more ram to generate.

When I run the bat file by doble clicking it, the prompt closes immediatly, saying java it's not recognised file or command.. I've java installed on my pc! I'm on W8.1

edit all the .bat file and replace java for C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java

Now generating plots...

you really need to give real example opf this:

That did it thanks.

workin on getting this figured out...what plot number is smart to start with 0?  how many threads should be used?

[Depredation]

Error: Could not find or load main class pocminer.POCMiner
Is this because I'm using Java 8?

Edit: NVM wrong parameters used, got it working!

Now generating plots...

can you post what you use for run_generate?  instructions make no sense

Thanks, i'm noob!

Now:

Now you can run run_generate.bat like this "run_generate.bat <number retrieved in last step> <plot number you want to start with> <number of plots you want to generate> 8191 <number of threads>

what's <plot number you want to start with> <number of plots you want to generate>?

an example please?!

The number of plots should be a multiple of 8191.

Where 12345678 is the number dumped to address.txt,
run_generate.bat 12345678 1 819100 8191 4
That would start to generate plots for nonces 1 - 819100 for address 12345678 using 4 cores for calculations. The resulting file will be about 200GB

For people who have less ram and can't do the above:
run_generate.bat 12345678 1 800000 4000 4
Uses half the rame to generate, and will cover about the same range, but more hdd seeking will be done while mining.

I continue to get the memory error above.  I have 4 gigs of ram.  Here's my command line statement:

Code:

run_generate address_number 0 409550 500 1

Am I missing something?
