That's a really good "getting started" guide. Thank you for your work No problem, I'm glad to help! I you have any input let me know and I will update it. Also, it seems that calculation of nonces/minute may be off... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.msg8771161#msg8771161It shows me calculating at 121,230 nonces/minute... but actual file growth is more along the lines of only 12,123.0 nonces/minute. (Maybe this is from the message I got when compiling?) ...It might also be nice to have a "ETA" for completion time. But not really needed. Maybe the CLOCKS_PER_SEC value doesn't match the actual clock() values on your platform (function that I use to retrieve the time). I will use the time() function instead. Here is the new version: GPU plot generator v2.0.1 Warning: to the AMD owners, the 14.4 catalyst driver cause a major bug. The generated files are corrupted. I will investigate on this problem. In the meantime, I recommend you to switch back your driver to the 13.12 version.Changelog: - Nonces display corrected (XX/YY nonces). - Using time() function rather than clock() in nonces/minute computation. - Nonces/minutes repeated at the end of the generation process to keep a trace of it after execution. - ETA and elapsed time added. Windows x86 binaries: https://mega.co.nz/#!TVEVjQ5L!Uyd2HuPTZSP9eARwjiChjd1P6BMWHQtYT0SGGHLrnuI Sources: https://mega.co.nz/#!2RUwHAyC!IOxfTZk9PsRdPS7Z3a76MAT4vT3ygvp--r_dVQ5GaD4 If we are on 14.4 then do we need to delete anything generated with the GPU plotter and start over?

Hey guys. Does anyone know why the block explorer still says we have only 108 million coins mined?
Shouldn't we be somewhere near 120mil now?

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. 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. head -c `stat -c%s <GPU-path>` <CPU-path> | diff - <CPU-path> Gotcha. I'll take a look into testing this tomorrow. Once the GPU plot I have going currently finishes. [/quote] I didn't forget... Plot file just finished. I ran your test with some smaller plot files: cd /media/twig/Burst_Coin_21/~~Linux~~/Plot_Generator ./plot 11111222223333344444 0 2000 1000 4 cd /media/twig/Burst_Coin_21/~~Linux~~/GPU_Plotter_v2.0.0/bin ./gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate 0 0 /media/twig/Burst_Coin_21/test/GPU 11111222223333344444 0 2000 1000 64 1024 head -c `stat -c%s /media/twig/Burst_Coin_21/test/GPU/11111222223333344444_0_2000_1000` /media/twig/Burst_Coin_21/test/CPU/11111222223333344444_0_2000_1000 | diff - /media/twig/Burst_Coin_21/test/CPU/11111222223333344444_0_2000_1000 After issuing the last command, it just returns to a prompt... no additional output. I assume this means the plot files match. (also I am mining and finding shares from the GPU plot as well)
Warning: to the AMD owners, the 14.4 catalyst driver cause a major bug. The generated files are corrupted. I will investigate on this problem. In the meantime, I recommend you to switch back your driver to the 13.12 version.
My plots appear to be fine (on Linux) generated with the 14.4 catalyst driver, as compared to the same plot generated with the CPU I'll test out v2.0.1 and see if there are any changes.

BurstMultipool.com was unexpectedly restarted by OVH and offline for a short time - it is back online now. Please point your miners and help generate buy pressure. Completely optimized, automated payouts.
I have also set up the startup scripts so in the future restarts by the VPS provider will result in the pool coming right back online

I don't know if it's just me, but my system would use 3GB total in the first 6 hours. Then later on, it would use double at 6~6.5GB and degradation of speed also. Is it possible there is a memory leak in the plotter? I'm running AMD 13.9 driver with 2.9.1 APP SDK. Yes this is a minor update. I'm working on a major update right now: I'm trying to remove the final scoops re-ordering from the kernel to run it in pure CPU mode. This will remove the x2 GPU RAM overhead. I'm also trying to decorrelate the staggerSize and the necessary RAM amount (note that this will increase I/O operations when writting nonces to disk, but I'll give it a try. If it works well, we would be able to go to staggerSize=totalNoncesNumber). I'm also reducing the cost of the step2 kernel to enhance nonces/minute. With all of those improvements, it will be easier to make the multi-gpu aware version of the plotter.

[/quote] That's a good news, even if I will have to investigate more on this part ^^ For those who already generated some files with the plotter, to make sure the generation is successful, do the following : Generate a file with the same parameters as your full plot file (address + offset + stagger) but with a noncesNumber of 1. The generated file has to match with the first bytes of your full file.

Plotted 28 TB. Average 21K burst per day at rate of 0.00000330 BTC with 0.0693 BTC Profit sent to BTC-E. POC is wonderful. 9 TB more to complete a total of 8 HDD Plot. Ordered another 12 HDD (Seagate Desktop HDD 6TB 7200RPM STBD6000100) from Amazon. Should receive it next week so I'm still have time to setup 2 new PCs station with each to handle 6 HDD.

Would anyone be interested in a buying shares of a mining operation? We currently are plotting 48tb with another 48tb coming in soon.

Great, thanke Any similar code for the wallet available...? Windows @echo off cls :start java -cp pocminer_pool.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer_pool.POCMiner mine http://127.0.0.1:8125 http://poolipgoeshere:8121 goto start
Linux while i="0" do java -cp pocminer_pool.jar:lib/*:lib/akka/*:lib/jetty/* pocminer_pool.POCMiner mine http://127.0.0.1:8125 http://poolipgoeshere:8121 done Was just about to post this for Windows If I close the cmd that starts mining with the windows .bat with the above in it, then nothing opens back up. How am I supposed to implement it? Thanks! If you close yourself it won't restart, but if it closes itself, then it restarts!! Just test it out.

After issuing the last command, it just returns to a prompt... no additional output. I assume this means the plot files match. (also I am mining and finding shares from the GPU plot as well) Thank you. The 121k nonces/min had me worried there.
