so...no one has adressed the kernel memory(paged) problem? after closing the miner the memory remain there

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.msg8751330#msg8751330

I think that if Windows needs that memory it will start cleaning seeing that its not being used anymore

you mean that if i add other TB, that mem won't increase farther?

It might increase further. But Windows will report that its being used to keep files in memory in case you use the app again.
So, opening the miner again should increase the ram usage a bit, but not as it would when you started it the first time.
This is pure theory, so I might be wrong.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work this way. Windows can cache so much that the miner can crash due to bad allocs. And then it still doesn't release the memory after the miner is down.

It seems to be a problem that gets worse over time as windows sees you keep reading the same file/s

I was able to keep it under control by disabling prefetching and superfetching as detailed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.msg8635800#msg8635800 , but that didn't seem to work for Amph

Is it a pagefile issue in his case possibly? Windows 8/8.1 does not seem to have the issue as Amph has in Windows 7.

someone is mining of on windows 8 here? can he post a screen plz?

This is what you want ?

with how much TB you are mining? you are at 3.57gb already

9tb when i take this screen

Transactions sorting bug fix for burst_1.1.0

didn't work for me.

hey guys, I tried the GPU plotter but GPU driver crashes every time it starts plotting

second thing, I've noticed kinda big amount of data being transfered while plotting/mining burst. It can download even about 500MB per day, while mining other coins it was about 10MB/day. It might put me out from burst train to the moon, because I have limited data transfer:(
Does it download data only while plotting or while mining?

Try with different version of catalyst software. There are still different version of gpu to be tested but my mate successfully plotting with 290x twin frozer x10 times faster than his i7 processor. If you gpu is same model, pm for specs  

I tried on 2x 7950 and the driver was crashing. Then I tried on another pc with single 7950 and it doesn't even start to plot, it crashes after 'Building OpenCL program'.
what catalyst version does your mate have? I'm pretty sure I have the newest drivers.

Supposedly they are on 13.9. I just did a clean uninstall and installing 13.9 on a HD7970.

Yes my mate is on 13.9, i told him to download this version as it was mentioned here before and it worked straight on his 290x but he said on same pc it didnt work on 280x, so hope driver is an issue. You can try installing different version and see if one works for you.

I tried 13.9 + AMD SKD and exactly same happens.

I used old 13.1 drivers on a 280x and works fine!

how much nonces/m ?

Wouldn't it be possible to mine on multiple v2 pools at once... by listing your local address followed by each pool link like this:

java -cp pocminer_pool.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer_pool.POCMiner mine myhost:port pool1:port pool2:port

No. Need different mining software for each.

Does anyone solved this issue?

What issue....

RAM overloading when minig,
also stated here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.msg8751330#msg8751330

they keeps ignore this thing

This needs to be addressed. Also RAM is not being released when miner shut down.

[coinits]

This is normal..

People are realizing just now that they missed the train and try to spread FUD. It happens all the time when something new is introduced here at bitcointalk.org

Should be nailing their fucking trust and sinking their reputation on here, especially when a 'senior' member does it. It was only a matter of time before the fucktards started to arrive.

[HoldTheLine]

10 minutes out from the completion of plotting 1TB with the GPU plotter and the fucking thing crashes with  a "Gpuplotgenerator has stopped working" and the entire plot file is reduced to 43GB.

This thing is more trouble than it is worth - I left the damn computer alone for 7 hours because the driver crashes if you do anything with it while it is plotting and it STILL crashes randomly.

God damn this whole plot generation nonsense. Wastes hours, even days of peoples time to write a bunch of useless data to a hard drive - either unacceptably slowly or infuriatingly unreliably.

can i run two miner in one pc with  two hdd drive in one pc?
each hdd(4TB)
ram:8gig

like i said, buying coin is easier than mining it.

Plotting and mining is only the first step. U still got to deal with pool problem from time to time. Than u have to monitor ur rig to make sure its running. After u finish with pool u got to deal with exchange problem like polo deposit not showing up after many hours.

After everything is settle than u got bad sector on one of ur HDD....

You are so right brother. Should have just 1 BTC of these and put em away. What a fucking shambles this whole process really is.

Mining seems easy but its not. Especially if u are going big. The bigger the farm , things get complicated. U have to spend a lot of time buying hardware , setting up , etc. The question is how much is your time worth ?

For instance , if u are a professional earning $50-100 per hours , u are better off buying coin. Seriously. Spend the time to earn money and buy coin. U will get more coin than spending time to mine.

Of course you can, just beware that for 48h your PC will be unusable cause plotting requires lot of CPU work

[Matt9301]

What changes the low value of deadline?? Staggersize, big plots or other??
If a computer is plotting, the mining is affected??

Anyone??

i created plot with my gpu 280x 10gig in 7minutes thats good bro with 13.12 ati driver.

same thing, but this problem is affecting only win7 user, win 8 is better in this regard

Hello guys.

Please tell me what is better to make rafts for 4 terabit hard drive.. stagger size ??

[regtable69]

burstcryptoport.io now paying smaller increments than 250 bursts dont know if this is right.

I am on windows 7 using the old pool miner with no ram issues memory leaks or the likes. plus m8ne runs with the start as just java no drive:/windows/java/everything
