Hi everyone, hope everyone that is mining Burst is enjoying it and finding blocks.
I just wanted to create this thread to sharing info and ideas to improve mining Burst or any future PoC coin.
Here is an rough draft of a google spreadsheet I created, please add to it:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uaXMLjLt90Ms1oRjcjz-eYPOkARtNS8JdrKFKOJdg4o/edit?usp=sharingEveryone should have a fair knowledge to mine and to withhold that knowledge would be not good for the crypto-community in general.
Be glad to see people helping each other out here and please refrain from getting off topic, only talk about mining PoC and issues with it.
If I see any info that is helpful enough to be post on the OP, I will append the OP and add it below.
Thank you everybody,
SD13
Appended Info:Here's the thread for Burstcoin for cross reference:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.0Formula for calculating Plot/Nonce Size: x=HDD used data size in GB
f(x)=Plot/Nonce size
f(x)=4096x
Guides for mining Burst taken from OP and thanks to the guys for supplying it:

One thing that cause me a little issue was the wording on KSpinner's guide:
run_generate.bat fileExample for this is:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate
*youraccount#* *plot#tostartwith* *plot#toendwith* 1000 4
It should have been this:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate
*your_account_#* *plot_to_start_with_#* *plot_size_#* 1000 4
A note, do not include the asterisks and put number instead in the following words:
*your_account_#*,
*plot_to_start_with_#*,
*plot_size_#*Your plot size ideally should be the multiple of the number that follows it, that number is the stagger size for each generation/write to the hdd.
Example, I underlined the numbers to show each numbers more clearly:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner

Thanks to dcct, here's a tool to calculate overlapping plots from the Burst thread:

UPDATE: Please do not alter others information on the spreadsheet as a joke, that's downright disrespectful. That would not help the community out.
