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

[Patek]

Huh, after couple hours of testing and stuff I finally got miner working. However, still got some questions - here they come:

I'm running miner on 2TB partition - 2 threads cpu and 4gb ram. My plot generator config looks like this (found on previous pages):

Code:

C:\Windows\System32\java.exe -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate my_account 0 81920 1000 2
C:\Windows\System32\java.exe -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate my_account 81921 81920 1000 2
C:\Windows\System32\java.exe -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate my_account 163842 81920 1000 2
C:\Windows\System32\java.exe -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate my_account 245763 81920 1000 2
pause

It produces plot files of ~20 gb in size. Can I make any changes to make it more efficient? Or is it already running as supposed?
What happens when all 4 files are created and config says "pause"? I assume it will stop generating plots. What then? IS it time for miner to finally solve those plots? How will I know if miner solved everything there was to be solved? What to do once its done? Erase those plot files and start over again?

So basically I can create a plot file... let's say -- 10G worth.
I test, I am happy... and not I want to soak up another 90G.

I can just create a second plot file (no overlapping nonces) and as long as they are in the same folder, everything is good.
I know under Linux I could symlink the plot files from other drives into the /plots folder -- as long at they are there, they will be used for mining.

Does that sound accurate?
This may actually be answered by the previous post as well.

It was answered. By me.
Short story, symlinks are necessary for Win. In Xubuntu the miner worked with a simple drag n drop shortcut.

[wmikrut]

Understood... thank you!

[fanepatent]

Understood... thank you!

I haven't tried to create shortcuts of files directly. It will be very interesting if it will work...

edit: Guess what... You can make direct shortcuts of the files in one folder and use one miner. I guess the same could be applied to Windows with symlinks

[tex81]

1) If total number of nonces is 2^64 - is there any (statistical) reason to use all 64 bits in nonce numbers?
2) If I mine on pool for 2 different accounts (colocation) - should I use 2 miners?

[wmikrut]

Understood... thank you!

I know there is a windows tool (NTFS Links maybe) that lets you symlink files like you do in Linux.   The only gotcha was if you deleted the link... it removed the file as well.

I haven't used it since XP and would see if there is a W7 version of it.

There is a downside to making shortcuts of all the files in one single folder. It takes a bit to read them, I got shortcuts to 4 Tb of plots and it takes a while. Also keeping 6 cores out of 8 from an i7 4770 at 50%

Why is my miner on pool v2 crashing ? It was fine for 2 days and for today 1 crash like every 2 hours. Something wrong with pool or at my side ?

Don't run it directly from the bat file. Open a CMD and open the bat there. This way you will see why it crashed.
Most probably it ran out of memory

First reward decrease in under 2 days and difficulty is still rising exponentially! Glad I made the decision to purchase some overpriced HDDs from Future Shop when I first heard about this coin...

Guys, is anywhere a vote for adding this coin to cryptsy.com? It'll be good for it.

[theblazehen]

Hey guys, balance for faucet down to 1.76K, anyone want to top it up a bit?

burstfaucet.net

[Amph]

can someone tell me his kernel memory(paged) for 3tb? my paged is 5gb with 3tb, is this normal?

anyone?

[milly6]

OP Can you please upload everything on another mirror. Mega.co.nz is bogged down, or just not working today.. would be nice to have a different download location. I cannot get the wallet or miner. Thanks.

You might want to check the cryptsy voting list for that... or just tweet at them. I dont think they really use the voting list to make actual determinations on what coins will be added.

Seems like Cryptsy stop using the voting list for nearly 2 months now.

HI guys! very interesting coin. pls send me some for test. plots generating is very slow on my old amd proc.( BURST-GQKE-37E9-KLWD-2Y5EX
thx

For testing what. You are joking right?
