Can I have some assistence please, Im trying to get started and ive been successfully following instructions except for this part
this example :
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate xxxxx plot#tostartwith plot#toendwith 1000 4
how do i know where i want my plot to start and end? could i have some clarification please, and how would i go about setting this up on multiple harddrives... and lastly what are the to last arguments on the end of this.. the 1000 and the four?
use the run_generate.bat, its easier.
run_generate.bat id-that-you-got-from-running-run_dump_address.bat starting-nonce ending-nonce stagger-size cores-to-use
like this
run_generate.bat 987654567890987612 0 80000 8000 7
It will start from nonce 0 and will plot to nonce 80000
The next file should start at nonce 80000 to whatever you want it to be. Like:
run_generate.bat 987654567890987612 80000 80000 8000 7
The same applies if you run across multiple drives. Do not overlap the nonces. Start your next file from where you stopped the previous one
I think I'm even more confused now, I'm noob. okay i am editing my generate bat file. i have my ID in there but I do not know what plots to use, or "nonces" to use, should i just use the 0 to 80000?? will it figure it out by it self? im testing it on a old computer i have sitting around with like 50gb freespace... before i unpack some harddrives i want to know what I am doing.
you don't need to edit the file.
Run it from command prompt.
A nonce represents a lets say segment of the plot you are generating. The stagger represents a stack of nonces. So, In the example I gave you it would generate 80000 nonces in stacks of 8000.
Also good to know, a nonce has 256 Kb. So that example would take 2 Gb of space.
So, just to clarify things. "run_generate.bat 987654567890987612 80000 80000 8000 7" this is the command you have to run. Don't edit the file.
so now i get this.
C:\Windows\SysWOW64>java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/*
pocminer.POCMiner generate 9211698109297098287 1 80000 8000 7
