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

[mmmaybe]

Great new version, thanks dcct!  

The optimizing tool, is it still restricted to 10 digit long nounces?

Thanks! Of cause not. All fixed  

Aaaaah....! Thanks alot   

[cyberspacemonkey]

is anyone else having issues with not being able to submit the nonce's but like only 20% of the time? the other 80% says "Failed to submit nonce, Retrying"

I have tried both ports on the pool and the same thing..

Any ideas?

Scratching my head over this as well, it seems like there is currently no decent pool to mine at the moment. some give wrong payouts or will give "Failed to submit nonce" error.  I currently have 6TB but would rather not solo mine.

Burst isn't the only coin on a downtrend, BTC and others are too

It's worth remembering some of the EPIC crashes BTC/USD has gone through, too.

So , which do we aprrove optimizing the stagger size? I've missed that info - why bigger stagger size is better?

[enta2k]

Finally it´s done plotting, now my deadline average <1mio. just had one less than 1k, looks like now it´s working as it´s supposed to be.

The stagger size is the number of hashes from a given nonce that are recorded contiguously on the disk.  A single contiguous read is faster and easier on the disk  mechanism than a lot of short reads interrupted by disk seeks.

If you created your plots with a small stagger size, processing them takes a long time. You might miss your deadline if its found too late!The utility optimizes your already created files making them a lot faster to read.

Is there any difference  with 3072 stagger size and 100000 stagger size? How much time will it take to read 3 Tb with 3072 stagger size and 100000 stagger size?

[unsoindovo]

C++ clone?

could be better yes

Its crazy.  Remember the virus clone?  People jumped on it without a second thought.  I guarantee you many will jump on next clone.  Shit or not.

Yea, without even checking the source even once. Its that "ooh, something new, lets make quick money"-people. Let them go 

Yep, let the dummies walk off the cliff.

It would take something very worthwhile to get everyone to replot their drives.

with gpu is easy to replot, not for me because i've sold them all lol, but the point stand

same here!!!

just one 280x survived :-)
hope some new maxwell wid high perfo and low consumption will come on market!

There is a huge difference! 100k stagger with 3TB is ~1s for seeking, 3072 is >30s.

Ok thanks for the info , and since my stagger sizes are 2048 and 3072 , do I need to optimize them ?

I've been through a couple and I'm still here...lol

It's no different than the Stock Market, downtrends and up trends happens constantly. Just like cryptos, people spread the same type of Fud in the Stock Market too.

[Prototyp]

The new dcct tools works fine, thanks and good work!

I must test the new merge tool i have many plots with low stagger size....

[enta2k]

Still get "dead letters encountert error" from time to time, something i have to worry about?

[Palad1n]

And where this new version of dcct merge for windows? )

Heeeeeelp! What is wrong with this ?     Always get "Passphrase does not match reward recipient"

U prob changed the reward assignment.

No I make again a reward assigment , but nothing...

pool mining or solo? when pool: which pool?

i think it is really hard to plot with 100000satgger size!
how many RAM do you need to do that?

[oktay50000]

+1 on this

[hellojdk]

Thank you, developers, running very well, several times faster.

I've created an advanced windows port of the dcct's-linux plotter:

Download: https://mega.co.nz/#!DgsWFIJA!H_D0Tg-Laxwp1yvccUwZG8uRx2jgz0IBTTZ91r0IfQA
Source: https://github.com/BurstTools/BurstSoftware

Improvements against the Java miner:

• At least a 5 times better performance. With a Haswell CPUs up to 14 times.
• Break and continue a plot a latter time. Please break only between writes.
• Optional asynchronous mode for writing the plots in the background. Use twice as much RAM.
• I have only access to Intel CPUs, so I don't know if it is working for AMD CPUs.
• Setting lower priority class at start up to ease the impact for foreground applications (e.g. miner)

Usage: wplotgenerator <account id> <start nonce> <number of nonces> <stagger size> <threads> [/async]
         <account id> = your numeric acount id
         <start nonce> = where you want to start plotting, if this is your first HDD then set it to 0, other wise set it to your last hdd's <start nonce> + <number of nonces>
         <number of nonces> = how many nonces you want to plot - 200gb is about 800000 nonces
         <stagger size> = set it to 2x the amount of MB RAM your system has (with async 1x the RAM your system has)
         <threads> = How many CPU threads you want to utilise
       options:
         /async ... writing plots from a background-thread for best throughput (needs twice as much RAM)

Plotter	Codepath	CPU	Codename	Logical processors	Total average nonces per minute	Average nonces per thread per minute
pocminer_v1	Java	Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1660 0 @ 3.30GHz	Sandy Bridge-EP/EX	12	2'048	170,67

It´s not starting to do this without your help.
Just undo what you did, set the correct reward recipient.

No, it's not worked from the begining
