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

If I am plotting 8 drives am I then running pocminer's run_generate 8 times?  Once from the folder located on each drive?

If you mean that you will generate the same plot on every drive i would advise, actually recommend using different plots.
Using the same plot is just like creating one plot and copying it to the other 7 drives (if identical).

Create your plots in sequences over all the drives.But doing this 8 times at once will require some powerfull hardware (cpu+mem) setup.

Definitely need to make sure you have enough cpu thread and system ram to plot all those simultaneously.

You really should plot them one after another. All simultaneously wont be faster - most likely slower.

True, bandwidth of the sata ports would be slow if done simultaneously on a standard sata controller on a motherboard. Unless your running those drives off of a PCI-e 8x or 16x card.

i can't mine or generate my own wallet address ....

need more simple GUI wallet and miner ...

or a guide with pictures

Yes a gui wallet and miner would be really beneficial to the masses.

OK, so I plot them one at a time (or one per computer I have lying around).

Am I doing different settings for each drive?  How do they differ?  Just change the starting point by 1 each time?

not just by one, but by the amount of nonces you plotted. Or just increase by 100M and you are safe.

Low sells, no panic it will rise again.

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

Would I want a single plot?

I use cheap SATA Controller and single drives. Raid5 is safer but you can also take RAID0 or JBOD .

I would always take 2TB plots not  a large plot.

Thanks!

So, what would the generate command look like?

ID#:

Plot Start: 1

Plot End: 8392704 (for a 2TB--right?)

What are the next two?  The plot size and then what (edit: this is threads maybe?)?  The guide has them set to 1000 & 4 respectively.

Plots - Plot X

0 7800000 2000 4
7800000 7800000 2000 4
15600000 7800000 2000 4
...
...

Etc.

Maybe someone should do a youtube video on it....lol

Seriously, for better adoption of the coin, simplifying the process can help. At least get the wallet to be GUI.

BUMP!

Welp, I'm officially obsessed with burstcoin. I just formatted my 3TB drive which was full of HD movies that I've been collecting for years. I figure I can re-download the movies, but I'll never get a chance to mine BURST at this low of a difficulty again.

I know, I've never seen a coin as cool as burst, im going to buy some while its still low.

Yeah super exciting! I feel like we just found scrypt mining on week one! =D

[CryptoSurfer]

I still have to figure out where to buy some more (!). C-cex or NXT Asset (can't seem to understand how to trade on this one) ?
Any advise ?

[familiaverde]

So lets say i ploted 1 800000 then 800002 19660800 and my pc restarted and last plot i remember was 2300002 ... if i start again 2300002 19660800 its ok ?

Contact ABC with a PM.

he would be happy to help I'm sure.

People aren't dumping at the moment cuz they are waking up to NWO being a scam and are trying to recover with BURST

I'm really interested in finding what the relationship is between difficulty and the total size of the burstcoin mining network. As an analogy, the bitcoin mining network knows that they have an approximate hash rate of 200 petahash right now. It would be interesting and useful to know the total number of bytes dedicated to mining BURST. This would allow miners to more accurately predict their earnings, and it would also allow the entire community to know the economic cost of mounting a 51% attack.

I asked the dev about this, and they said:

A scaling factor is used and adjusted based on recent block times to attempt to get 4min/block. The difficulty used internally is (2^64)/scaling_factor. What is displayed in nrs info is cumulative difficulty(block 1 dif + block 2 dif + ... + block n dif).

A general difficulty -> TB amount could likely be found but I don't know it.

So, this confirms that the difficulty figure is arbitrary, and not directly related to the number of bytes in the network. However, since it self-adjusts for a 4-minute block time, I believe there should be a linear relationship between the average difficulty and the number of bytes in the burstcoin mining network.

Current estimates (based on my own findings and what others have been saying) indicate that 1 TB will mine about 2000 BURST per day. Based on this, the total number of bytes mining burst is approximately 1800 TB, which equals 1.8 x 10^15 bytes.

Currently, the difficulty is 2182485975211560, and the block height is 6246. This makes the average difficulty equal to 3.49 x 10^11.

Based on these figures, and the assumption that there is a linear relationship between average difficulty and total bytes mining, the formula for figuring out the total number of bytes mining is:

Code:

(cumulative_difficulty / block_height) * 5151 = number of bytes on the burstcoin mining network

Using this formula with current figures, we get a network size of 2182485975211560 / 6246 * 5151  = 1.8 x 10^15 bytes.

I'd love to work to improve on this formula! Any feedback is welcome.

@Dev: Any progress on the v2 pool ? (just very very curious how it's going).

I've been obsessed since I first started, my third drive purchase is on it's way.

Watching the mining deadlines is the best movie i have seen in a long time.

Is PoC going to be future of mining?

Well done man. I believe you are correct.

On a side note, we are over 1.5 PETAbytes!!!

This is a moral victory.
