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

[fanepatent]

starting at plot 1 and stopping at plot 80000 is that going to use as much space as possible on my HDD? ( for maximum hdd hash rate)?

No. Like I stated earlier, thats only 2 Gb .80000 x 256 Kb.

ok i think im starting to understand! i see my harddrive space being used! and i noticed the plots folder! so once its done i could re run the command starting at 80001-160000 for another 2 GB? and it would write some more plots, yes?

Exactly

great! ok almost got it. curious about adding harddrives now. so lets say i attach some sata hdd's and format them ntsc and give them drive letters, how does it know to plot them on that particular harddrive. and how does it know to look there for my plots?

It doesn't know. You have to run a miner on each drive and start plotting where you left off on the first drive.
As for the miner, it scans the "plots" folder when the block changes. So it knows if there is a new file.

I had a question. When i mine in the pool V2 and i plot files at the moment, is it possible to mine at these files?
I get no valid shares and shares the are successfully transferd to the pool.

So i'm ban from pool? Help me...i'm confused 😩

If you just started plotting with the new ID for pool v2, you need to let it run longer. After 2-300 Gb of plots you will start seeing shares at a smaller interval

I somehow managed to fork myself yesterday so missed mining all night

noticed something was wrong when the block after mine hadn't been found for over 6 hours

how is something like this even possible?


edit: increased size so maybe someone will see and if something needs to be done we can fix it before we have forks all over the place.

This was probably because the clock on your computer was wrong. It's best to make sure your OS has its time synced with the internet to make sure it stays accurate.

that would entail copying my whole pocminer folder to the drive and run the bat from it?..  so you would have x amount of mining windows open for x amount of drives?

so each miner would scan its own plot folder on each drive? being that each drive has a identical miner it knows where to send thecoins and what the other miners are doing?

Could also be if he was using an old client. 1.0.2 rejects the correct chain since about 2 days ago.

Thanks :-).
I hat the same id for all of my plots, is that right?

You would need to copy the miner without the plots folder. And yes, x miners for x drives.
The good news is it doesn't need much resources to run the miner.

The v1 pool used a different ID. Pool v2 uses the same ID as the wallet.
Which one are you using?

[Razerglass]

Is this running ok? what do those errors mean?

I use the wallet id. And my plots are from 0->x x+1->y ...could One miner Scan more plotfiles or is it right one miner for echt hdd?

[fanepatent]

You need to run the wallet in order to solo mine. Also, you will need to copy your passfrase you got when creating the account to passphrases.txt and run run_dump_address.bat.
It should dump your address and passfrase to address.txt

Let me know if its working metter

One miner for each HDD. Or you can try and RAID 0 some drives...
How many nonces do you have?

I have updated the client. Will check if the clock is running as it should

plz link the pool v2 post on first post..

You need to run the wallet in order to solo mine. Also, you will need to copy your passfrase you got when creating the account to passphrases.txt and run run_dump_address.bat.
It should dump your address and passfrase to address.txt

Let me know if its working metter

those seem to be the old addresses i generated when learning, the most current one im using is mining right?

 i have the wallet running and logged in with the same passphrase thats in the .txt file
 the generate bat wrote into the passphrase file found address "passphrase" -> 140628xxxxxxxx

but it still says error reading file 140628xxxxx then it says new best 140628196xxxx:9729

Ok, since the community is growing I will start to write a tutorial. So please consider donations. Hard drives don't grow on trees you know...

Ok, go to your wallet. Click on more info on Balance thingy (green blob). You should see the ID there. Is it the same with the one in your plot file?

yes inside the wallet the number is identical to the number on the top of my generate nonce bat and is identical to what you see in the miner cmd picture. its disconcerting seeing it say that there is a error reading the file with the same number (the one in my wallet and my plot file) .. as you see in the picture in red circle.. am i ok?

No, sorry. I read between the lines. Its working now.
The error about not being able to read the file is ok. If you are generating that plot at the same time you will see that message every time a new block is found.
Also, that message is shown if you stop the plotting before it ends. But it still reads the file, you should be fine

My bad

wonderful! now im feeling confident   so theoretically could i map drives on my network and generate plots on them too and utilize my network and other computers that stay powered on in my same lan?

you've been so much help i dont have any burst yet, but i would love to tip you, do you have a doge address?
