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

the difficulty increases....... when a mining pool?

Trying to get one up today.

For the pool, will everyone have to generate different nonces for the same public address, or will every person get a unique address to generate plots for?

Unique address

Will the current miner be used or a new one specifically for pool mining? Is this a requirement to register for the pool?

A modified pocminer is needed. Current setup has you enter your payout address into a textbox, and submit, and it kicks out a generate address to use, and no other registration needed.

Oh ok. Is the pool going to be ready for today or is it still tentative?

in generate, what more important? gpu threads or ram in xmx (i mean java -Xmx2000m)

with -Xmx2000m you just set the upper Limit. If you dont get any errors this limit is set high enough.

The more CPU threads you use the faster you can generate the plot files. But no matter how many threads you use - you end up with the same file.

Higher stagger sizes (=more memory usage) produce "better" plot files. They are faster to read, use less disk seeks.If you have the RAM, go for 8191.

What mean "If you have the RAM" ?
Yes, i have RAM ))) 8 Gb
If i try 8191 generate windows just blink (open-close immidiatly)

Put a "pause" statement in your batch file, so you can see any errors that pop up.

i try "pause", but run_generate start new window, but i try again

I have a question, and forgive me if it was already answered somewhere in here as I just browsed through and could have missed it.

So what happens in the event of a hard drive upgrade, like for instance, if I have my 6 sata inputs on my board maxed (all used up) with 2TB drives, and I choose to upgrade them all to 4 or 6 TB drives. Is it possible to move the plots that were generated on the original drives to the new drives? Or do I get to rebuild all my plots?

Thanks in advance

I have a hopefully functional version done right now, that I'll be testing on a testnet with the difficulty floored in a few minutes to see if everything seems to work. Assuming that goes well, there're a few things I need to adjust, but it'll be up tonight.

You can move them just fine.

Ill start mining again once the pools up

So I just mined a block and it showed in in the burst web interface (127.0.0.1:8125) and I just checked the web interface again about an hour or so later and the mined coins are gone? Under Blocks, in the web interface, it doesnt show up anymore either. What the hell?

[SpeedDemon13]

For an experiment, I'm running an IDE hdd setup with 2x 120GB IDE hdd's in JBOD. Funny, I got a block in 48 hours. lol

This happened to me as well. Make sure your system time is synced with the internet time server of your choice. If your computer is off by even 10 seconds, you will have problems mining. Sounds weird, but it is very important for NXT based coins. After I synced my computer my found blocks stayed in my wallet.

[SpeedDemon13]

Has anyone made a calculator estimating number of blocks found per gb at current diff?

[abctc]

dev, you can send 1 coin to save my wallet? thank you
BURST-7FA6-....-....-.....

- please, do not mislead people. Your wallet already protected with 64bit security, and you (and with this version of vallet only you) can extend that security to 128bit by sending (not receiving) coins (or by making another kind of outgoing transaction: Arbitrary Message, Alias).

[duncan_idaho]

I finished generate plot 1.6 TB on computer with 3 GB of RAM. Everythnki seems to be ok but after couple hours of mining miner crash with message about out of memory (Next time i write it down) Memory usage is sometimes 70% sometimes 35%. I dont know what is going. Sometimes it is crashed at night and i have no miner fo 8 hours :/ Any advice ?

As I know - 256 bit (32 byte).

Plz someone fill my order on nxt ae....i just want some burst and only have nxt :0 65 nxt for 1k burst....sounds like a deal to me

- the keys are 256 bits, but Curve25519 itself is 128bit strong.

1. Change you cmd file to

Code:

:START
java.exe -Xmx750m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner mine "http://127.0.0.1:8125"%*
goto START

If the miner will fail, then will start again.
For stop you should use Task Manager or ctrl+c in the console.

2. Add addition RAM.
3. Try to -Xmx1024M instead of -Xmx750M (but I doubt this is the reason).

"An article by Forbes estimates the storage capacity as between 3 and 12 exabytes"

1Exabyte = 1million Terabytes.

What if they would troll us with mining burst?^^

==

Now since the asset exchange the coin is being priced on 10k (per block) basic because their is no pool.  With no real exchange or pool (so far) the price will be based off this and no real chance for the market cap to increase since its not readily available.   In other words, very hard to  mine and worth very little.....

Poloniex has NXT, maybe it's not difficult to add the BURST.
You can send the "new coin request": https://poloniex.com/coinRequest

Most exchanges won't accept a coin without a mining pool. Usually, they want a block explorer and mining pool at least.

Can someone explain that better.. will burst not reach any bigger exchange? :x

- the keys are 256 bits, but Curve25519 itself is 128bit strong.

The Curve 25519 from the source of NXT operates 32 byte, but I did not go into details.
In any case it does not matter, you should brute-force 64/256 bit key if you want to sign somebody else's transaction.

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.

yes, and if someone want to sell up to 76`000 BURST at 0.00350 BTC/1000BURST, he can do it right now:

Alright, pool is now finally up. Disclaimer, this has hardly been tested, so there could be bugs.

pocminer_pool: https://mega.co.nz/#!7hwHQJLZ!-waC7CwWeMStkdAwjEVbew1fN_YqeZDRWMWfCylaNPo
(I know I shouldn't have made a separate miner, but it needs an overhaul anyway, so that'll be coming at a later time)

pocminer_pool does both solo and pool mining. plot files that have a corresponding passphrase in the passphrases.txt file are solomined if you have your wallet running, and plot files without a passphrase are assumed to be for the pool

edit the pool ip into the mine.bat file.

go to the pool at http://198.199.103.145:8121/
put your payout address(BURST- address) into the textbox, and submit it to get a generate address
generate your plots for that
target deadline is currently set to 20000, so you'll get a pool share for every deadline under 20k your miner finds.
When the pool finds a block, the reward is given out proportionally to the number of shares each person submitted since the last found block
payout should be instant when a block is found, since there is no block maturing time.

If anyone wants to host their own, code is on github, and you need the lastest client from github also.
