someone reserved about ~400 popular aliases, what are these for?

Most likely, they will be for scamming people, or trying to blackmail others into buying them. Anon136 is likely one, and will either be used as a bogus escrow or the owner will try to sell them back to those members for BTC. Thats the new thing, its an arms race for the alias' - unfortunately none of the NXT clones to date has survived long enough for the alias' to actually be worth anything (but people still try! LOL).

My polling is incredible slow... 80Gb in 24h. Someone experienced the same speed?

I think it depends on how much memory you use and how many threads; I run at 8000 at 2 threads, I could run at 4, but I don't want my computer to be loud.  At 2 threads I can get 6  GB per hour and at 4 I can get 12GB. So over 4 days, I've amassed 415 GB only running and 1 or 2 threads.

Thank you!
So im gonna do some experiments with these settings. Unfortunatly my run_generate task keeps crashing, if I use a value greater than 1000 for the -java Xmx option

Install 64 bit java. Then you can use more than 1000

Alright, I have come up with another question...


I have a system with 3 2TB drives in it. I am currently plotting them all, my question is this... Do I need to run multiple copies of the miner? Or will the one miner see all 3 drives? Right Now I have 3 copies running and it seems to work, but yea, I would like to know if I actually have to do that or not.

Thanks!

The dev mentioned this earlier. You have to run one for each drive

Are you making sure your nonce #s are different on each drive?

Another block maybe 4 me?

You will have to run a miner on each drive...and each will likely need it's own account number. I plotted x2 500 gig HDD's, with the same wallet number, but different plot #'s. I found that the exact same deadlines were being reproduced for both drives. I wonder if the plot generation is done based on the account number, and if that somehow predisposes the plot #'s to be something specific regardless of what drive they are created on?

I have also noticed that I found 2 blocks with my newest drive that was still plotting.and each night I restart my miners and usually find at least 1 block each night (and these are only 250 Gig HDD's, pretty neat, huh?)

I have actually re-plotted several drives with new accounts because I was having a lot of luck with brand new "still-plotting" drives hitting blocks their first night running. I have now settled on my 4 drives which are hitting paydirt regularly (as these seem to have some sort of lucky number combination that keeps coming up).

I also noticed that deadline time has nothing to do with how long you have had the drive or how big it is, My 15 Gig plot hit 2 blocks, and it was spitting out 200K deadlines all day then popped a 211 deadline. LOL

can i copy a finished plot to new drives?

or do I need to create a new plot each time?

Is already installed. And no older java versions were found.

Getting errors. Error reading file, a lot now? trickle - maybe 1-2 every half hour, now im getting error every 5 minutes.

just to get it right ... it seams to me that there are kind of rounds ~10 blocks and with ervry block the deadline gets lower ... if you do not win the current round you will get (a chance to) lower deadlines in next round?!

yes you can

I've opened a thread with a mining guide in Italian language. I will support users in that thread if they need. If you can, write a guide and open a thread in your language to help spread this coin! The more the merrier!

Thank you for the reply, I am going to fix it now. You think you actually need a new account for each drive, why not just different nonce numbers? hmm...

Maybe my RAM is broken. Its pretty old, though.

if your sure you have the 64 bit version installed change it back to the original "java"

WIth 4 GB of ram you can probably go 3000 or so

if this works try
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx3000m ..............................

This occurs every time a new block is generated and your miner switches to the new block.  Your plot file is re-read each time and if it is not complete the error is thrown.  This is purely informational and does not effect your mining.

Is there an IRC chat for Burst? I'm unable to locate one.

Just out of curiosity. Which alteration fixed it?
