hi, don't forget vote this, even it is not a big exchange, but high vote can cause attention of people and will make it be more popular, and i found that every ip can give a vote every 24 hours, it is not limited, i have use one ip vote 10+ times, in 24 hours you can only vote once with one ip, but after 24 hours, you can still vote

How to mount 3TB NTFS partition on Linux? It's recognized on Windows just fine but Linux won't. Hard Drive shows up on Disks utility but it shows it all as "Unallocated".

[burstcoin]

Can everyone take a moment to tweet to Bittrex for our great coin?

Part of the new wallet update doesn't go into effect until block 11800. Bittrex's backend uses some of that stuff, so wait until that block passes before nagging them.

Okay, time for me to bitch aobut this.

I downloaded the GPU Plotter on page 443.  I have WinZip on my computer (Windows 7 64 bit Pro).

When right clicking the files, I can't even get the option to open with WinZip.

So what the hell?  Is this plotter made only for Linux?  How do I open the files to install them?

it's a .7z file, not a .zip file.
You need 7-zip to be able to extract it:
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

.7z is a fairly common compression format which most are familiar with.
Either way, 7-zip is a MUCH more robust compression application and I would suggest using 7-zip instead of WinZip in the future.

[fivebells]

is it possible to use all GPU to plot ? Right now it only allow 1 device to plot for 1 instance, and 1 instance uses quite a bit of CPU. My rig can only use 2 GPU max. I am using 750 ti.

If you can get it to function usefully at all on a 750 Ti, I'll be very interested.

Honestly, 7zip is the best compression/decompression freeware out there and even way better than Winzip or any paid version.

GPU plot generator v2.0.0

Changelog:
Kernel split to increase graphic cards compatibility (introduction of the <hashesNumber> parameter to batch hashes computations).
OpenCL platforms and devices listing added.
Platform and device selection added as generation parameters.
Enhanced CPU and GPU support (removed the auto-selection and fallback).
Clearer information display.
Displaying the % and nonces/minutes while generating plots.
README added with some basic build and run instructions.
Makefile cleaned up.

Windows x86 binaries: https://mega.co.nz/#!2BNDXY4L!jgwHDZXDJyFp2Jg5mN8sxtpplgXEInSMf1cQGbPc5lM
Sources: https://mega.co.nz/#!LZs1RapR!6VGB1SssX5lFp8GX0bZmN2OH-MftLVzEAn1P1nKrdwA

Please read the README provided with both the binaries and the sources.
Your feedbacks are welcome, it greatly helps me.
If you like this software, support me

Roadmap for the next versions (feel free to post your features/ideas) :

Awesome!
Just tested it out on Linux (Ubuntu 14), I had to modify a couple more things than what was in the readme:

OPENCL_INCLUDE = ../_opencl/include
OPENCL_LIB = ../_opencl/lib/win/x86
CC = /c/_data/cryo/_apps/mingw/bin/g++
CC_FLAGS = -ansi -pedantic -W -Wall -std=c++0x -O3 -I$(OPENCL_INCLUDE)
LD = /c/_data/cryo/_apps/mingw/bin/g++

I changed these to my locations (also CC and LD needed to be changed):

OPENCL_INCLUDE = ../opt/AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1/include
OPENCL_LIB = ../opt/AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1/lib/x86_64
CC = g++
CC_FLAGS = -ansi -pedantic -W -Wall -std=c++0x -O3 -I$(OPENCL_INCLUDE)
LD = g++

I attempted to do a "make dist" but it was complaining that the "bin" folder didn't exist.
I created the bin folder manually, and then I was then able to issue a "make dist" and got the following:

Code:

Compiling [Command.cpp]
Compiling [CommandGenerate.cpp]
Compiling [CommandHelp.cpp]
Compiling [CommandList.cpp]
CommandList.cpp:54:5: warning: unused parameter ‘p_args’ [-Wunused-parameter]

     ^
Compiling [gpuPlotGenerator.cpp]
Compiling [OpenclError.cpp]
Linking [bin/gpuPlotGenerator.exe]
Generating distribution

Not sure if that is a critical issue or not, but I ran the app anyways.... and it appears to be GENERATING PLOTS on my AMD Radeon 7800!

Code:

./gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate 0 0 /media/twig/Burst_Coin_21/GPU_Plotter_v2.0.0/bin/plots 11111222223333344444 14670000 7335000 1000 64 1024

Also, not sure on the "hashes" (1024) number really compares to though

On my AMD Radeon 7800!


WOOT! 121,000 nonces/minute!

Did that ~3.5TB take 2 hours to finish?

guys burst-pool.cryptoport.io is going to explode !

we got 300+ miners at http://burst-pool.cryptoport.io, network traffic is huge, if we continue like this, more and more nonce submissions are going to be failed due to network lag.

please use alternate pool if you can, and spread the hash power and network trafic, this is completely separate pool, so you need to re-do reward assignment transaction to this pool address, please follow the How-To on site

alternate pool : http://burst-pool2.cryptoport.io

set your reward assignment to 16434009311448803259 (BURST-WBXV-ER87-3JCG-GNC6A)

mining URL :

Code:

http://burst-pool2.cryptoport.io port 8124

or

Code:

http://burst-pool2.cryptoport.io port 80

try to set reward assignment and getting {"errorCode":5,"errorDescription":"Unknown account"}

you need to have 1 coin in your wallet before doing this..

use faucet to get some coins in your wallet then do the reassign

many thanks! I only starting\looking and not see this info in any doc\header
also not sure I should generate plots again after some time or once generated they can be used forever?

[fivebells]

Code:

head -c `stat -c%s <n-path>` o-path | diff - <n-path>

should work.  Where o-path is the path to the old output, and n-path is the path to the new.

Seriously though, I have no idea what you are requesting.
[/quote]

If you're still running a plot on the GPU, could you then try running one of the CPU plotters with the same parameters (address, nonce range, stagger size) for a few minutes and check that they match in the part created by the CPU plotter?  Say the directory containing the GPU plotter output (the "plots" directory") is <GPU-path>, and the path to the CPU output is <CPU-path>.  Could you then run this command in a terminal and report back its output?  If they match, there should be no output.

Code:

head -c `stat -c%s <GPU-path>` <CPU-path> | diff - <CPU-path>

Doesn't work. device 1 is fine, device 2 - either working individually or together with device 1 on seperate drives doesn't work when instructions supplied in the Readme are followed.

not together. I can run 3 instance each at their own speed. I can only run 3 x 750 ti on my rig. 1 bat 1 GPU. I am running 3 bat. I max out because my CPU is 100% running 3 GPU. I cant run anymore GPU. Each GPU is running around 3.3k. I can only run the GPU on one of my rig. The rest of my rig driver crash at any setting. I am not sure why only 1 of my rig is able to run. All of them are exactly the same.

Natively it reads, I think you need a driver to write to a NTFS file system.

Did that ~3.5TB take 2 hours to finish?

Writing to the the actual plot file, I've measured it spike between 1.5-2.5GB/minute.
So, I calculate plotting the 1.79TB file would be around 16hours by the actual file growth rate
...compared to the 5+days it would take on CPU.

May be notable difference... I am also CPU plotting on the same system to the same drive as the GPU plotting...
