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

[phreakk]

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.

Not profit if you just ordered 12 HDDs!

It's profitable since HDD's are easily resellable.

Haha, I got the GPU ploter working on an internal laptop card  

Intel HD Graphics 4000 - 750 nonces/minutes so far and increasing. Beware AMD owners


On a more serious note: on a box with decent hardward, running one miner on it's three disk's. Just recently I've gotten the following error:

"Error: Unable to get mining info from wallet"

I've upgraded to the latest wallet and its running. One one know what's up...? The only extradorinary is that is moving two file around 500gb between computers, but Filzilla take so litte resources I can't thing it does matter do the wallet error.

Any ideas?

[CanaryInTheMine]

so all the plot files generated with 2.0.0 are all corrupt then?  how to tell for sure?

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#msg8771161

It 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.

My miner is still crashing twice in a day. Always dead letters problem. As suggested by a kind fellow here, i have placed this as the bat file.

Code:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1024m -cp pocminer_pool.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer_pool.POCMiner mine http://127.0.0.1:8125 http://178.62.39.204:8121

But it still crashed. I have 2 miners running, one is in internal hard disk and another external. The external one always crash with dead letters. A little help pls

if close your internal miner and open external one only, if external one not crash any more, that is your memory is not enough to open 2 miners. change your -Xmx1024m to -Xmx500m and try again

will reducing the parameter to 500m reduce the mining performance? If yes then i'll off my internal one because it's only 200GB where as my external one is 4TB

no, it is the Max run-time requirment of your java miner, performance is determined by hdd read/write speed and capacity, you allocate too much memory to your miner.

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

The pool has issued shares for fractional ownership of it.

alright. I'll set 500m for both miners and give it a try. Thanks mate! Cheers

how i can check my plots at corrupt?

I noticed the plots generated by GPU plotter with 14.6 drivers produced extremely huge deadlines (13-14 digits) when mining. It's very hard to mine anything with such deadlines.

i use 13.9 catalyst + display driver from catalyst 14.4

[soulmann]

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.

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>

Gotcha.
I'll take a look into testing this tomorrow. Once the GPU plot I have going currently finishes.

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.

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.
[/quote]

What is noncesNumber? Does my bat file shoulf look like this C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate 15403606239865755752 4080000 5591040 1 2

edit: Nevermind, looked at the wrong column. 

You are selling 5,000 shares, so at the current BURST prices that comes out to 17.75 BTC, or $8,449.

What is your current daily profit?  Need to calculate ROI ;p

BTW, the proceeds from the share sales will be used to purchase hosted mining hardware to point directly back at the pool and the BURST proceeds from that hardware will be equally distributed amongst the shareholders.

Paradigmflux, am I reading that right?

You are selling 5,000,000 shares?  At the current BURST prices that comes out to 16,700 BTC, or $4,932,500.  Seems a bit high, don't ya think?

You will need to produce almost 5 million dollars with your multipool in order for a share to ROI, right?

New to this asset thing, so let me know if I am misunderstanding.

Hey bro,

There are 5000 shares for sale, for 1000 burst per share.  It would take 5,000,000 burst to buy every single share currently for sale.
All BURST raised from selling shares will be used to buy hosted mining hardware which will be pointed back at the BURST multipool and the proceeds from it will be distributed equally amongst the shareholders.
The dividends will never be issued to the asset issuer, so the profits will be split equally among whoever has purchased the shares so far.

I do the same thing for NXT and have paid out nearly 100k NXT back as a dividend already.  It helps create some buy pressure for the coin, and removes the pool's reliance on independant miners by allowing it to actually run some hardware.

I edited my earlier post Paradigmflux--can you respond to it?

Pls see my post prior to this one

[MOB]

Sorry, I must be missing something still.

Is this just a way for people to help BURST, or is this supposed to be profitable for all concerned at some point?  It seems like 100K paid out versus 5 million paid in would be a poor investment.
