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

[zhaohui1985]

So overall which pool is best for now? Urays v1, http://burst-pool.cryptoport.io or smth else ?

omagad there are no uray's v1 :
we have

V1 Dev Official pool
V2 Dev Official pool
V2 Uray's Pool-1
V2 Uray's Pool-2

lol right, sorry. Which one gives stable payouts ? Would you guys suggest me stop plotting v1 official ? There are delays with payouts so i wonder is this pool gonna die or smth

which pool is fastest ?
 I am using pool v1  and pool v2,  seems pool v1 is faster than pool v2

I'd like to claim the multipool bounty.
BurstMultipool.com has fully automated shift payouts (coming from: BURST-XP3R-XV7U-CTNA-66G5R), supports Scrypt, Sha, X11, Scrypt-N and Keccak miners.

My personal BURST wallet is: BURST-SKL3-ACW8-DBN6-5M8VM

Shift 2's automated payouts just went out paying out approx 12,000 more BURST.  Check out burstmultipool.com and in the transparency section you can see every earning and payout, as well as coin transaction.

Good work ... your multi-pool is fantastic.

Not sure what's the problem with me, but this is all I get during mining.
http://imgupload.sk/images/4/b/4bw7neq0yfe2sq8rwwso_thumb.jpg

Yes, I'm generating nonces and mining as well, though I've been doing so all night and there wasn't a single valid share obviously. May there be a problem with my configuration?

You'll have problems with overplotting with those plots.. The second one need to start from 600001 not from 17000..

yes, the second plot need to be delete and replot, or you will be regret if you continue plot this file, and these error message are fine, don't worry about it, it will work fine.

Are you sure guys?
So when I stopped plotting first time at nonce 17000, I should start new plotting with 17001 not 17000?
(not 600001 as Matt said because 600000 is my maximum, not the value I stopped at)

Thanks.

The Windows version is already pre-compiled into an EXE and is ready to rock out of the box...
The instructions to "install msys/mingw" are to compile the exe yourself from the source code.

Long story short, just open a command prompt and do a "CD" to the folder you extracted it to (that contains the EXE file) and run the file with the desired arguments.

Here is a better guide on How to use the Windows GPU Plotter:

1) The GPU Plotter is archived in a .7z file, so you will need to Download and install 7-zip to be able to extract it (if you don't already have it):
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

2) Download the (Windows) GPU plot generator v2.0.0:
https://mega.co.nz/#!2BNDXY4L!jgwHDZXDJyFp2Jg5mN8sxtpplgXEInSMf1cQGbPc5lM

3) Right-click & extract the "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0.7z" file and select 7-zip -> extract to "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0\"

4) open the newly created "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0" folder

5) In an empty space within the "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0" folder do the following:
Hold down the "shift" key and right-click in an empty spot. Select "Open command window here"
(Note: the "Open command window here" option is only available if you hold Shift and Right-Click)
(Alternatively, you could just open a command window manually and do a "CD" to the folder containing the gpuPlotGenerator.exe file)

6) find the GPU's Platform and Platform ID:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe list platforms

(Note down the "ID" number for the proper device platform, this will be <platformId>)

7) Find the DeviceID of the device to use:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe list devices <platformId>

(Note down the "ID" number for the proper device to use, this will be <deviceId>)

Type the desired plot information:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate <platformId> <deviceId> "<Plot folder path>" <AccountNumber> <StartingPlot> <NumberOfPlots> <Stagger> <Threads> <Hashes>

As an example, this is the command that I used on my AMD Radeon 7800:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate 0 0 "C:\Plots" 11111222223333344444 14670000 7335000 1000 64 1024

These directions are better than nothing, but I still start to lose it on step 6.  Where the hell am I supposed to find these ID numbers and why can't the damn program find them on its own?  And in the above example, it seems that a pair of zeroes are used for these purposes?  WTF?

And as shown in step 8 - go into more detail about how and why each character, symbol, and space was typed. Define what each group of numbers is and what I'd want to write there for use on a 7950 / 270X / 280X.  I need pictures and words and arrows!  To install it on 7 64 bit.

Hey guys, is it possible to mine with 2 different hard disks in one pc with a single miner as a single plot? If yes how we do it? How to create plot for that miner? Anyone know any guide on this? Please help me guys. 

[Amph]

Mined about 7.2 TB on two PCs with Dedicated GPU (R9 290) so a total of 14.4 TB.  In average of 14K Burst per day so it is about 0.0497 BTC per day at 0.00000355 BTC rate.

Plotting will continue until 37 TB  (8 HDD combined) should be another 1-2 days to complete.

POC is FREE money

not really free, you need to buy...you know the HD?...

Your payment of 75,000 BURST has been sent, but it doesn't seem the block explorer has caught up quite yet.

When you receive, would you be so kind as to give me + trust?

Community, if it isn't too much too ask, would you also give me + trust when you see the transaction on the block explorer?

Every question you just asked is literally answered in the post that you quoted -.-

Where the hell am I supposed to find these ID numbers
Do step 5.
Run command in step 6.
Run command in step 7.

and why can't the damn program find them on its own?
It does.  You are writing the program to instruct the .exe

And as shown in step 8 - go into more detail about how and why each character, symbol, and space was typed. Define what each group of numbers is
Maybe only I can see it but the first thing twig did in Step 8 was...to define each parameter -.-

[timk225]

Ah yes I see that now.  I'll try it when I get home tonight, and then I'll come on here and bitch and moan some more about it at the first sign of trouble or having to think excessively.....

I will be adding some better Scrypt coins if we can ever get our hashrate to improve significantly.  The problem is most of the most profitable scrypt coins have tons of hash pointed at them already so we need closer to a GH to be able to solve blocks consistantly.

These instructions seem to work but my GPU is not listed... I have an R9 290, do i need to change drivers?  OpenCL was downloaded and installed but I dont understand the readme where it says change the path....

Any help is appreciated

Does someone know how to run the burst-pool by uray? I downloaded the source but I dont know how to run it.

Yes, you just need to generate the plot on the second hard disk, and then softlink it to the "plots" folder on the hdd when the miner is running,

[marcus556]

Thanks Bipben for the GPU generator and your hard work!  I've gone ahead and doubled your burst wallet balance for you.

Wow! Thanks a lot for your support

I will continue to enhance the plot generator. The next version will be centered on performance.
Some people pointed out that it would be great to be able to split the work between many graphic cards. I will add this feature to the roadmap.

v.2.0.0 seems solid, thanks....

Also, could you explain the relationship of the stagger size/hashes ratio? It was kind of vague to understand it.

There is no relationship between the two.
The <staggerSize> parameter is used to order the scoops into the resulting plots file. The greater the stagger, the more RAM will be required to generate the nonces.
The <hashesSize> parameter is a value between 1 and 8160 used to split the step2 global work in chunks. Those chunks of workload are then queued to your graphic card one after another.

Example : ./gpuPlotGenerator 0 0 <path> <address> 0 100 10 64 400

-> Creating generation buffer ((PLOT_SIZE + 16) * staggerSize)
-> Creating result buffer (PLOT_SIZE * staggerSize)
-----> Generating 10 (staggerSize) nonces (from 0 to 9)
-> Step1: Buffer initialisation spread on <threadsNumber=64> threads
-> Step2:
  -> Computing 400 hashes spread on <threadsNumber=64> threads (from 0 to 399)
  -> Computing 400 hashes spread on <threadsNumber=64> threads (from 400 to 799)
  -> ...
-> Step3: reordering scoops : moving them from the generation buffer to the result buffer
-> Writing nonces to disk
-----> Generating 10 (staggerSize) nonces (from 10 to 19)
... and so on


As you can see, without the reordering process, we should be able to reduce the amount of memory needed by the plot generation (or at least scaling it as we want without any impact in the mining) and greatly enhance its parallelization. Postponing this step could greatly improve the whole generation process but will increased I/O operations. I will make different versions to test some ideas on that matter.
Also, I will try to lighten has much as possible the step2 kernel processing to increase the nonces/minutes.

Just seen this message, I dont think its my .bat file because when i do the list platformId command, my GPU doesnt show up there either only my CPU.  Im still trying to setup my bat file...

Yes, you just need to generate the plot on the second hard disk, and then softlink it to the "plots" folder on the hdd when the miner is running,

Thanks for the reply bro. But how to softlink? Can you guide me on that? I am in windows 8. Thanks.

[tibolt]

not recommended due to "failed to submit share" error. cause of high pool load i think.

Does someone know how to run the burst-pool by uray? I downloaded the source but I dont know how to run it.

Google mklink command for help - you're creating a "Symbolic Link".

Basic usage is open the command prompt as an administrator and use this format:

Code:

mklink "Drive:\path\to\folder\fileNameForShortcut" "Drive:\path\to\actual\file\fileNameOfFile"

You'll want to make this shortcut in the plots folder of the miner you will be running.  So if you have your miner and first plot on your D: drive and your second plot is on your E: drive it would look something like this:

Code:

mklink "D:\poc_pool_minerv1\plots\4578973_0_100000" "E:\poc_pool_minerv1\plots\4578973_100001_200000"

That will put a Symbolic Link to the "200000" plot in the plots folder in the D:\ drive.

It's just a tedious way to make a fancy-ass shortcut.

Just generate the plot on the 2nd hard drive and then make a simple shortcut on the miner "plots" folder
