so does this thing work with mac?

It should. Everything is java.

if i stop my plotter while its generating what will happen and whats the downside? is there a way to know where it stopped so i can start it again

If you use the windows plotter it tells you were it is. And you can start plotting from where it tell you it left off. If you are using the linux plotter... not really.
This is the downside. Other than that, nothing much. The miner will give an error message that it can't read the file, but it actually does.

How do you know it is still reading/using the file when it gives the error message saying it can't?

With 10TB, i think its better to use the Pool.

ok but what is the return estimate with the pool?

Rough estimate you can do it divide your total TB by the total in the network, then multiply by 3.6 million coins. I think the current network size is 1.9~2 PB.

For example if I had my 4x 4TB now, it would do (16/2000TB)3.6*10^6=28800 approx. So, about 2 to 3 blocks a day-ish.

About 4~5TB to get a block/day, give or take.

with 6w of consumption 

i bet alot will change by time it takes me to plot 10TB in what half a month... >.<

even if the diff will be x10 , you just need 60w to keep with it, diff need to rise x100(impossibile in two week) to really make you waste electricity

where can i download the pocminer for mac? is it linux or what?

I just started generating plots that are greater than the number I put for the last nonce range number. ie 4000000 to 4082000.....and my generate plot script shows me generating 4088000.  What is happening???

mine did that too till it had 8mb left and it just kinda froze!

It is not startnrofplots endnrofplots:

4000000 to 4082000

It is startnrofplots nrofplotstogenerate.
So 1 5 means start at nr 1 and generate 5 instead of start from 1 untill 5.

omg.....I'm an idiot.

It's english....he's just using abbreviations.  "startnrofplots" == "start number range of plots" && "endnrofplots" == "end number range of plots"

so im running vmware i got the plot generator setup i think im ready to go... now where is it going to put my plots and how do i get them onto a drive in windows. i never really used linux

[Irontiga]

Don't run linux in a VM, rather just dual boot, or even run off a usb stick (make sure you make the plots on your main HDD though)

If you use the windows plotter it tells you were it is. And you can start plotting from where it tell you it left off. If you are using the linux plotter... not really.
This is the downside. Other than that, nothing much. The miner will give an error message that it can't read the file, but it actually does.

How do you know it is still reading/using the file when it gives the error message saying it can't?

Is it confirmed that non-completed/stopped plots really are working and able to submit shares...?

yes if pool make sure to put pool's wallet for recipient

will linux see my ntfs hdd? and write the plots to be able to mine in windows?

Yes, it has been this way since day one.

[Razerglass]

so just for better clarification no matter what happens while generating the plots or the number rangeyou choose (computer crashing, closing cmd ) and no matter the amount of plot files (as long as none of the plots overlap)  you will mine based on the total size of all of them?

[familiaverde]

Can anyone help me use the merge.exe for windows ? i think that i have some overloop nonce but i dunno exactly what nonce and i have like 10 files ... i think that i need to put merge.exe in the Plots folder and what is the next command to resize the nonce ..

Thanks!

[BurstBurst]

It is very profitable.

With 3.4 TB I'm was able to get 5000 BURST per day so at current rate of 0.00000850 BTC will be 0.0425 BTC per day. That's Great.

[Razerglass]

what merge.exe? sounds like a good tool



these dont overlap do they??

why does https://bchain.info/BURST/tools/overlap tell me it does?

"  Your results (assuming all plots are completed):
Plots 16036893174223139082_1800001_3600000_1000 and 16036893174223139082_3600001_3608000_1000 overlap (1800000 nonces)

Totals:
1800000 nonces overlap (439 GB)
9008000 nonces total (2199 GB)
9008 disk seeks per Scoop (72 seconds @ 8ms)   "

what about the plot gpu miner? to fill a 3tb you need 3 days with a i5, this is crazy

[Irontiga]

will linux see my ntfs hdd? and write the plots to be able to mine in windows?

Yes, and yes, but if your home directory is encrypted you'll have to write the plots directly to C:(or D or whatever else you've got)
