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

[kenshirothefist]

A few questions I couldn't find answers for:

How can I specify what is the maximum space that BURST takes? Or how does this exactly works, it creates a big file on hard drive?

Also, does the speed of mining (hashrate) depend on how powerfull the CPU is? Or is the hard drive free space the only performance parameter?

You set the number of nonces, you can get this info from the guide. The CPU only matters during plotting, after that it barely gets used.

Hmm, "nonces" are not mentioned neither in windows or linux guide ... can you please point me to the guide where it shows how to set the size I want to use for mining BURST?

You're going to have to do a little reading, then if you have specific questions, I would be more than happy to answer them. What I can tell you is this...


account number (starting nonce) (number of nonces to plot) (memory allocation) (number of cores)


Take that and combine with the guide and i'm sure you'll figure it out.

[crowetic]

Only found 1 block yesterday, then I realized... I had over guessed the number of nonces to plot...


and WHEN YOU DO THAT IT ERASES THE PLOT AND STARTS OVER!!!

so make sure you calculate the number of nonces correctly, or you'll be re-plotting 2TB like I am now. (facepalm)

How do you mean that " I had over guessed the number of nonces to plot... "
Sorry for bad english.

What I mean is... I set the number too high, and when it got to the end, and the drive was full, but due to my dumb-(ness?) instead of stopping, it started over, and re-plotted the same space it just did.

Because of this, I would now suggest that people do a bunch of smaller plots, as opposed to one large one. Just a thought.

Hello, Burst community!
We are near block 6500, any news about the pool v2 release?

Hope it is release today!

OK, thanks, I didn't scroll down to the bottom of the guide to see the 256kb*X formula ... sorry

OK, I've started the C-version of plot (on linux), I can see process "plot" running at one core 100% (I have 12 cores and I started plot with 12 cores/threads) .... is this normal? Also, I don't see any file being created, does it first fill the memory and then flushes to disk?

*edit: yes, this turned out to be true (I have lots of RAM - 144GB) therefore the "initial" phase obviously took a while and now it runs at full speed with all 12 cores being utilized and I can see file being created under "plots" directory...

In the miner, what is the meaning of all the parts it keeps spitting out - and why does it repeat it so many times before submitting a block?

Code:

{"baseTarget":"23359889","height":"6460","generationSignature":"2f891ba0d68d6a9aa709ae56415accbb00382404f77ff98f3547be7a9722b100"}

Code:

New best: 8667538425315684595:146090
Submitting share
{"result":"success","deadline":290772}

I think I have a basic understanding... how's this?

"baseTarget" - the number under which you need to generate to submit a share?
"height" - is the block number we are currently working on.
"generationSignature" - is just the hash stuff, mostly irrelevant to most people.
"New Best" -  your generated payment address:number you generated below the baseTarget to be submitted.
"deadline" - I've heard this is the number of seconds before which if no one submits a lower share you get the block.  This seems oversimplified, but maybe not?

The huge number of repeat {"baseTarget".... ... } lines, does each one represent a value calculated that isn't low enough to have a share submitted?  Also, why do all three of my miners seem to generate nothing (non-submittable shares) for a few minutes then all submit several shares in a few seconds, all at the same time?

[mmmaybe]

Aaah, I found my first block   Haha, its funny that I feel much better about finding a block than I ever felt solomining some random GPU coin.

someone rember the run_generate page config in this topic?

[familiaverde]

i cannot start generate plots on linux  ... i got this error : Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for 4096000KB object heap

Can someone explein me what is wrong ?

[fanepatent]

If anyone can shed some light onto this, it would be great.
I don't get why the stagger is 8191 maximum. Code limited or because of memory allocation by the OS?
I am generating plots at 60000 under linux and it works fine. My next question would be if I still can use these files. Or, if I go higher than 8191 and keep it a 8191 multiple, will it work then?
Asked burstcoin dev but no answer until now, so maybe one of you guys know something.

Thanks

how to start mining? my run_generate.bat keeps pop up and close... the guide from OP doesnt help. I have no idea what the guide is on about...

How can I setup wallet to listen to not only to localhost, but on my specified local IP address?

99% wrong java path

Well, I really stepped in it now.  I just dropped $330.00 on ebay for 4 Seagate 7200 rpm 3 TB drives.

Worst case, when this coin craps its pants, I can keep the drives and sell them for a mild profit through my PC repair business to people who need new hard drives in their computers.  So I'm virtually loss-proof on this, but damn, to lay out $330.00 that I know damn well I should be saving.....

With shipping included, that $330 bill means I got my drives at $27.50 per TB, which is a little better than the $30 / TB average I have seen.  3 TB drives seem to be the sweet spot for dollars spent vs. TBs gained.

My current mining pc hasn't found anything in 3 days on its 600 GB plot I hacked together from 4 old laptop hard drives via spanning in Windows Disk Management.  I sure hope I have the wallet info set right in the miner so it is sending coins to the right wallet!  It should be right.  I am solo mining for the moment until the v2 pool is fully in place.

Gl man, I'm pool mining right now with 500 GB and I can get about 1000 per day.

run_generate is what makes your plot file.  You need to click run_mine to start mining, (AFTER you have a plot file made) but your wallet has to be open to mine.  I didn't design this system and I don't know what the guy was smoking who did design it.  It has lots of room for improvement.

[crowetic]

I hadn't found any blocks in quite a while, then found two almost back to back! woohoo!

BURST power!

[m3ta]

Nothing is wrong.Your setup is fine and yes you are mining.
The target Deadline is 50K.

So, instead of an extremely accessible Deadline which would make more people (as in, everyone) have valid shares, this "pool" is following the path of elitism already.
Go figure, I thought the whole point of "decentralisation" would be to allow more people to get at least something back.
But no, this altcrap pool is starting right off the bat favouring the 1%, AND taking a 2% fee.

You're doing it wrong.
