I Guess akula999 found his way around after PM.
Well, i wish him luck!

Edit: Confirmed: He is up and running and generating plots.

Thanks crypto, after many "pissed off" moments, i've sort of figured it out - thanks to you!
When/If I find a block, i will send some your way. Hopefully I'll find something.

Eventually everyone finds a few blocks. The bigger your plot file, the better.

I've put up a few offers for sale but no messages about them. Not sure whether the fact that we can only solo mine will effect the price positive or negative since its harder to get coins but you get so many....

I'm going to give mining on a 1TB drive until this Saturday morning. If I find 2 blocks in 48 hours, I will up my mining. I have access to get the following at a heavy discount:

will it be worth it?

Hey guys one question, my 500 GB is full now and no more extra space on my hard drive.. Can i now keep mining on that plots or i cant find a block this way? I dunno what to do lol

Just keep on mining.  It's like saying you've built a 5MHS scrypt rig and have run out of GPU's.  Can you still mine?  Of course!  Your plots are always working for you.  Buying another HD and filling it with plots is like building another traditional rig.

Am new to NXT based coins. I just received 40K from a trade. Should I secure it in any way? All I have done is run the .bat and log in with my seed in a web browser.

just ensure your passphrases is complex and secure ...

a normal 3,5" 4tb/6tb drive + external case is less expensive ...

I used the random generated one it presented to me. Will this suffice?

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!

you can use mklink in windows or ln -s in linux, to mapping files in just one drive, then you can just open one miner.

If you are going to use one miner with different plot files be sure to NOT use overlapping nonces.

One more thing is you should make an outgoing transaction. Your full public key isn't saved into the blockchain until you do. Almost any type of transaction will suffice, send yourself 1 burst, or buy an alias, or set your account name.

Assuming this is you:
http://127.0.0.1:8125/burst?requestType=getAccountPublicKey&account=BURST-ZEN7-MS5U-L59L-5UK39
shows if your key is saved or not

Until you send some Nxt from your account, it will be protected only by 64-bit entropy. As soon as one outgoing transaction is made your account will receive a public key and it will be protected by 256-bit entropy, much more secure. As a result, we recommend issuing a transaction (by sending Nxt, registering an alias, or sending a message) as soon as possible after Nxt is deposited into your account for the first time.

depends on length ... use >30 chars: letters (upper and lower case), numbers, symbols ... that should be safe!

In burst, mining a block also will do the protection upgrade

So nobody has figured out how to generate the plots quicker yet?  I think I have a solution that should generate them anywhere from 100-500 times faster.  If I get it up and running (give me half a day) I'll let you know

I assume this is a gpu solution? If so, glad to see someone else doing it so I don't have to

Actually no, nothing as involved as that.  I started looking at re-writing it in C++ (which would be more efficient for sure) then it dawned on me that this can be done in a much simpler way, though probably not a way suitable for everyone.  The creation of the plots requires a lot of computing power, but only needs to be done once.  So my not-so-pretty solution is simply to distribute the plot creation out to a farm   If I can get it working, I think I should be able to achieve upwards of 1TB an hour, maybe 10x this if I have my calculations correct.  In theory I could produce plots for other people, but creation speed would be limited by their internet connection so not really practical

True... i rented cpu cloud but plots uploading is limited by my 100mb/s internet
Need local solution to run it in NAS (PC) directly...

I thought about that once also, but the networking speed was a deal killer, since there really isn't any mining benefit over having each machine generate its own set of plots, then just grabbing all the hdds.

You might not be able plot for other people online like that, but you could sell them pre-plotted hdds.(wonder if there'd actually be any takers on that one.)

Ah cool not just me then!  Why store is locally?  Cloud storage is pretty cheap these days.  There's tools to allow you to use s3 like a mounted drive for example.
