3 days running no joy on solo. Whats the best pool for mining on and how to set up to pool mine

https://i.imgur.com/Br8bAuK.jpg

go to one of those pool, then click "How to" tab, it should give head up how to pool mining

Cant get it to work nore the miner.exer jsut auto closes even after trying to set up.

Any full instructions on what to do as downloaded have plots done and edited confi file and i cant even get the config part to eve nwork on adding recipient on wallet

Run your burst client (wallet)
Using your browser go to
http://127.0.0.1:8125/rewardassignment.html
on the bottom ( see "Set reward recipient" )
Put your account secret passphrase there (the one you use to login into your wallet)
set recipient as
5611701311637421489

all i get is the following error {"errorCode":5,"errorDescription":"Unknown account"}

Has the blockchain finished downloading?
Has anyone sent you a couple burst coins?
Have you sent a burst coin to someone else?

Fix the ones to which you answered 'no'

block chain up to date no coin's sent or received  however miner works perfectly fine solo mining just errors and when running exe file it just auto closes

OK.  So what happened after you had a few coins sent to you and then sent a few coins out?  Did it start working after that?

have never had any coins set to me so no transactions only been solo mining and not generated any blocks and wanted to start pool mining

Right.  So have a few burst sent to you or use one of the faucets and have it sent to you, then send one of those coins out to someone else.  Your problem of "unknown account" should go away after coins are sent to you.  Sending a coin back out gets rid of a security message you'll get in the wallet.  The "unknown account" isn't going to go away until you have coins sent to you.  Hence the reply to "fix the ones to which you answered 'no'"

Any word on plot optimizer for windows?

Yes, don't use it.

tried both the faucets sites and get the error You got BURST!

TX details
string(60) "{"errorCode":4,"errorDescription":"Incorrect \"recipient\""}"

if anyone got any spare to throw me ill send right back BURST-YKME-ETDL-Y4M6-GS2CW and also send extra coin to cover fee when faucets site works for me

lol.  Just let him send it back.  He's going to get the security message until he sends one to someone, anyway.  Might as well be you.  And as soon as he figures out that he has your address just by receiving a coin...

[crowetic]

Just so that everyone knows, I am in the process of writing an updated, detailed windows noobie getting started guide/tutorial complete with links and detailed instructions. I am about half way done, and will most likely finish it tomorrow, I will then post it on burstforum.com for everyone, and likely here as well.

Thanks!

Kinda' like this one?

This is an idiot-proof guide (hopefully) for pool mining at http://burst-pool.cryptoport.io/ using windows 64-bit, with pictures!  I got stuck a few times with setting it up, so I have included a few details and pictures that I hope will help others.

First install or update Java.  This may involve removing older versions.  http://www.java.com/en/download/help/index_installing.xml .  This should put java in C:\Windows\SysWOW64.

http://i59.tinypic.com/wcib6e.jpg

Install or update flash player.  You will need this to copy your account ID or numeric account ID in the BURST wallet.  http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Download the most recent version of the BURST wallet from the first page of https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.

Download the pool miner at http://uraymeiviar.github.io/burst-miner/.

Extract these two files (the wallet and the miner) onto the drive you’re going to be using.

Go the the BURST wallet folder, run the batch file run.bat.  A command prompt window should open and run for a minute until you get a line that says “INFO: Burst server 1.1.2 started successfully” (or whichever Burst server is the most recent version).  If the window closes, it’s most likely a problem with Java, go back and make sure it’s installed correctly.  You can edit the batch file run.bat and put the word ‘pause’ in a second line to keep the window open and see what the error is.

http://i62.tinypic.com/f9nio3.jpg

In the wallet folder, click on the BURST wallet internet shortcut.  Create a new account.  Wait for the blockchain to download completely.  It may take a while, maybe an hour?

Go to the burstcoin faucet at http://burstfaucet.com/ and put in your wallet address, which should look something like BURST-NSRE-4KG9-6LZ4-ETTG3.  Fill out the captcha and you should receive 2 BURST.  Alternatively, if you know someone who has BURST have them send you two BURST coins.  Wait for the coins to post to your balance, then send 1 BURST to someone.  ( You can use my address, BURST-NSRE-4KG9-6LZ4-ETTG3, or the pool’s wallet address, BURST-L28E-WSYC-F4N3-B82AC, if you don’t know of anyone else with an address.)

http://i57.tinypic.com/20f7ts8.jpg

Go to the Burst pool miner folder.  There should be 4 windows batch files.

http://i59.tinypic.com/2h4j3fd.jpg

First, edit the four batch files so that they show the location of java in SYSWOW64.  The first part of each of them should read C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java at the very beginning.

Go the the BURST wallet, click on your burst address and click ‘Copy Numeric Account ID’.  If you don’t get the drop-down it is most likely because your flash player isn’t working right.

http://i60.tinypic.com/2r4snzm.jpg

You can also get the account ID number by going to the pool miner folder, creating a text file called ‘passphrases.txt’ and entering the passphrase for your wallet, then double-clicking on the run_dump_address.bat.  It will create a file called address.txt with your numeric account ID in it.

Now go back to the run_generate.bat batch file.  This is the file that generates your plots.  Edit it to:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate [numeric account ID] 0 xxxxxx 1000 y

where ‘xxxxx’ is the number of nonces to generate.  What this refers to is how much disk space you’re going to mine with.  It is about 4000 per Gb, so if you’re using 1000 Gb, it will be 4000000.   ‘y’ is the number of threads to use.  There are a few other changes that CAN be made to this, but it only going to run once, so as long as it works you shouldn’t worry about it too much.

In the pool miner folder, double-click on run.bat.  A window will open and close.  Now double-click on run_generate.bat and a command window will open and start generating plots.  It should start to spit out lines like so:

Generating from nonce: 0
Writing from nonce:0
Generating from nonce: 1000
Writing from nonce:1000

This means you are generating plots.  Let it run all the way through, it will stop at the number of nonces you told it to generate and close.  It will take a very long time, hours and hours.  One of my computers took 36 hours to finish.

If you are running another miner on your graphics cards (scrypt, x-11, blake, etc.), that miner might slow down until you are finished generating plots.  Don't worry, it will speed up again after the plots are finished generating.


Now to set up the pool.

Go to http://127.0.0.1:8125/rewardassignment.html.  .  Under ‘Set reward recipient:’ in the ‘passphrase’ box enter your passphrase.  In the ‘recipient’ box enter 10745596296835956940.  (The instructions for this are at http://burst-pool.cryptoport.io/howto.html )  If you did not wait for the blockchain to finish downloading in the wallet, then it won’t work.  Wait for it to finish and try again.


Now go back to the pool miner folder.  Edit the run_mine.bat batch file to:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner mine "http://burst-pool.cryptoport.io:80"

Now double-click on the run_mine.bat batch file and it should open a command window and start to run.  It should start displaying lines that look like:

[“baseTarget”:”4045283”,”height”:”16561”,”generation signature”:4e8g8gfg2fe6f204g82c9e7gh7aa87c7650g7588d9b3gh4f782219va3546c67a”]

and occasionally give you a result about submitting shares.  It may give you an error about submitting shares at first, just give it a while and it should start successfully submitting them.

When it starts successful submitting shares, you can confirm that you are mining by going to http://burst-pool.cryptoport.io/ and searching for your BURST account ID (BURST-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx) using ctrl-f.  Again, it might take a few rounds, so give it a little time if you don’t find it.


Note: You can start mining without waiting for the plots to finish generating, you'll just have a lower chance of getting anything for it.


What my four batch files look like:

run.bat
   C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner %*

run_dump_address.bat
   C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner dumpaddr >address.txt

Run_generate:
   C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1024m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate 13867756655654712537 0 3200000 1000 3

run_min.bat:
   C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner mine "http://burst-pool.cryptoport.io:80"


Many thanks to KSpinner, who wrote the first guide I went off of at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.msg8298999#msg8298999 and to billyboy402 at youtube who made a video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYlf1xFTHvs
Feel free to tip them or to tip me.  1 BURST is currently only $.0006, so it’s not that much.  Have fun mining!

 my BURST address: NSRE-4KG9-6LZ4-ETTG3

****EDIT:***
I wasn't getting anything off of two of my computers with the stagger only at 10.  I made a change to the stagger and it seems to be working better.  The changed was made to the run_generate.bat file, I changed '10' to '1000' so that my run_generate.bat was read as:  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate [numeric account ID] 0 xxxxxx 1000 y.  It seems to work better.

-> Deadline-Limit 43200 (5 days)
43200 s / 5 = 8640 s -> would be a very short day ^^

yeah need more one zero, WTH

43k deadline limit is hard. You might want to up that a bit.

Does pool 3 take just your best deadline, or all your deadlines under the limit?
