I have an 8 Core I7 and its only using 33%. Memory usage is 500mb but I have 32GB.

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 1 4000000 8191 16

(Assuming its a 8-core 16 thread cpu)

Thanks!! it has 8 threads so i will drop it down.

Do you know how to restart plotting if you stop it?

If you stop a plot before it finishes, there's not really a way to 'resume' (other than calculating the ending nonce, and then merging the files). However, it doesn't matter, you can just start generating the next plot as you would if the previous plot finished correctly. The only issue is overlapping plots, but gaps mean nothing, all that matters is the total number of nonces.

Thanks!! How do i find the the current plot number?

Is there no IRC chan for Burst? You need one!

In the standard naming convention for plotfiles, you have:
address_startingNonce_noncesInFile_noncesPerRound
In the above, add the startingNonce to the noncesInFile (both from your most recent plot) to get the next startingNonce for your next plot.

So for example, if your most recent (aka highest startingNonce) file looked like this:
address_4095500_4095500_8191
Then your next plot should be
address_8191000_4095500_8191
Where 4095500 controls the size of that file (in this case, 1TB) and 8191 controls the amount of RAM used in generation (2GB with the linux plotter), and where 'address' is representative of your actual numerical address (which is generated by run_dump).

You my friend, are a legend. I get it now! Only issue i can see is if you stopped the plotting like me the file name will not be correct as it presumes it plotted to the height you specified.

[evoked22]

Guys,

Can you create your plots on linux and then mine on Windows?

Also if i have 16TB across 5 drives, 4x2TB 2x4TB. How should i create the plots? per TB? per drive?

Anyone know the answer to the above?

Also, is there an IRC channel??

Thanks in advance
Cryptomizer

Not sure if this is the one but there is #burstcoin on the irc.freenode network.

If that is not it please lets create one

[altcore]

Can you please take a look at the generator as well? Maybe you have a bit more luck in compiling it for windows

Thanks

I'm not good at cross-platform programming. But I managed to compile. Unfortunately the rate hasn't increased. Had to replace library shabal.s to a different version. Maybe because of this.

And it isn't working btw

Code:

'merge.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Tested on 3 different computers.

Nevermind. In my haste to test it I forgot I was in the downloads folder and had no plot file there...

[omgbossis21]

Same thing happened to me and I should of had enough memory, wasn't sure if it was a java 32bit/64bit thing or what.  Had to settle with memory at 1048 I believe.  To be fair with everything running I have around 60+  ram usuage but should of easily been able to reserve 2gb.

Yeah, change -Xms1000m to -Xms4000m to allocate more memory.

Yup, that's why you get errors in reading the files, but they're harmless, just noting that the plot file isn't complete.

Burst has the most volume on c-cex!

there is a place where i can see the diff of this, some general stats?

How much free memory do you have in your machine? 4000m will require nearly 4GB of free RAM to allocate properly. If you don't have sufficient memory for this, just change '8191' to '1024'.

Thats the thing i have like 12GB free!! I have noticed in Task Manager that the process is the 32bit version. Should it not be using x64 so it can address the extra memory?
