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

[SpeedDemon13]

Having great luck today, hit 3 blocks: 6009, 6100 and 6118 so far. Only 50% done creating plots on 2.785 TB space and prior to that only 1 block in 5 days. Started 6 days ago creating plots for my recent setup change.

Glad to hear that! I just hit a block myself! 6114

I love it when you get two in a row

Looks like one of the big boys maybe offline 

This happened before about a 2 days ago.

Does it matter how large your plots are?


Is there a common method of quantifying "hashrate" along with expected results?

I was consider changing this setup for pool mining, would have gotten way less....lol

Cool you get a block too...

He probably has a hardware issue maybe, ie hard drive failure. Just a guess.

In general, the larger the better and more hash rate. Not sure how to quantify the results, maybe ask the dev.

8tb hdd's announced, maybe something to be watching out for.

it would be worth it if more coin like this(but maybe based on c++ and not java) would be released

If I got a multi-TB hard drive, connected it to a computer, formatted the drive, put the wallet and miner software info in a folder on that drive, and used that computer to plot the rest of the drive, then took that drive out and put it in a different computer...

It would mine with no problems, right?  I'd open the wallet file and start the miner and it'd be no different than if that drive were installed and plotted in that computer right from the start?

Yes, that is correct.

They will be expensive regarding $/TB. At the moment 3/4TB drives are best.

Sure, you can mine there, too.

Mostly.

You still have to have the wallet software running (unless your pool mining)

Dev, would you mind putting a link to my article on Burst in the OP?

Can anyone explain how to install and use dcct's plot generator for Linux dummies?

I tried last night with the two commands in the OP using Ubuntu and only got an error like 'command "plot" not recognized'.  I'm at work now so I can't get the exact details but it sounds like I screwed something up...  I guess there's a chance I wasn't using 64 but Ubuntu - I just grabbed an old DVD I burned but the plot command should still do something, shouldn't it?

EDIT: Yes I was in the correct directory.  The ls command showed plot, the original .tgz I had extracted as well as all the other files that extracted and compiled with it.

If I had a 8x3TB RAID0 or JBOD span, what generate numbers should I use?

Would I want a single plot?

type in:
uname -a

x86_64 in there?

You'd be better off using each drive on its own. Try 11000000 nonces for each drive.

Thanks!

Hi HDD miners ,

I have a lot of questions to the new art of mining.

First of all i downloadet the wallet and the POCminer.
I read the instruction for windows and ist seems ok.
I made an testsetup with my 60GB SSD (g:\)and and an old dualcore + 2GB of RAM.
I see now the Burstserver, which is connected to my localhost:8125 and the run_generate.bat is running and also the run.mine.bat.

What for JAVA memory values i should use? Its @the moment an 32 Bit Win7. How could i calculate the value? Something like that, "2048MB-XMX1-XMX2"?


g:\Mining\pocminer_v1>Java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate *ID* 0 51200 1000 2
Generating from nonce: 0

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


I get an extreme bad value for the deadline...what does it mean?

What are the important things for mining burst? Could i mine with an old CPU and 2x2TB ore more? How much RAM is usefull? What is with the transferspeed? Could i use more USB Drives?
Is it better to use Linux? Questions over Questions...i hope someone hav answers for me...thanks al lot :-)
