Question.

If i set out to plot 800000 (200 gb) and my file name is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_0_800000_1000 but i stop at 400000 (100 gb) should i rename my file to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_0_400000_1000 or it doesn't matter ?

The file name doesn't matter. But you might want to rename it so you know how many nonces it has

Another question.

If i have 10 plot , when i mine at pool , it will submit 10 plot shares or it will only submit 1 best share out of the 10 plot ?

1 more question. can i open a few miners if i have several harddisk or partitions? I would just need to copy and paste the poc_miner to each drive right?


For 4TB harddisk (3.63TB real space), are my arguments optimum?  0 - 14,400,000. From the guide it says 200GB for 800k

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate 460635828253812312 0 14400000 1000 4

Right. Its the only way to mine right now on Windows.
One miner per drive/partition

i think it might be a good idea to not develop any GPU plotter because if plotting become too fast difficulties will be very high very quickly. Right now CPU plotting put a limit how much people can plot. Even if someone buy 1 Petabyte of HDD they will need many days to plot it whereas if GPU is available people will plot Petabyte in a day and distribution of coin will be left to only a few people who build petabyte farm. People will soon not able to mine using TB if GPU plotting is available

Its not that simple. You have to take in consideration writing speeds also. They will be able to speed up nonce generating, but after a stagger is generated it has to be written to HDD.
Overall it will be faster, but not that faster.
IMO you might be able to doble the nonces/sec you get with the CPU.
But it won't be that dramatic.

More difficulty=Less coin mined=More miners=More value.
The big player has to come. We still in "how to mine" phase.  Wink

Any news on Bittrex listing ??
Would like to get some BURST, but can't trust C-Cex with my BTC.

C-cex is quite good.
But i can understand. Just some patience and burst will be added to bittrex.
Relax and enjoy this new amazing coin.  Wink

C-Cex is ok, just not a large exchange. I buy and sell there with no issues yet.

how  many coins do i get for 1 TB per day???

~1000-1500 BURST (mining in pool)

Question.

If i set to plot a single 500 gb file but i have to switch off my computer and stop plotting @ 250 gb. What's the best way to stop plotting before it complete 500 gb ? Am i able to resume plotting ? Is there such thing as corrupted plot if i close the plotting suddenly ?

You can still use the partial plot. It will cause an error "error reading file", but it will work.

There is no resume, just start another one with a higher starting nonce.

So i can close the plot bat anytime and suddenly without any problem ? I can still mine with whatever is left on the plotted file ?

You can. Just make sure your plots don't overlap.

Thank you. That make sense.

Good to know, i really think we need to restart for beginning, so sorry for my bad answer

If need to restart everybody will be doing 10 - 50 gb plot i think because 1 huge plot is too much risk

Nevermind. got it! thanks



Step 3: If using windows, replace the first word "java" in each of the .bat files with "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java" and "save as" each of them as .bat files again.

Example for the run_generate .bat file:
Original; java -Xmx4000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate %*

modified: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate %*

Step 3a: Many of the values in the original .bat files were causing issues for my computer, so I changed the -Xmx4000m (or whatever your # was) to a lower value like 1000 or 500 (ie. -Xmx1000m) and it began working. This will be entirely system dependent, and is like tweaking a normal miner's settings to find what works best.


For step 3. I don't see a java folder. Did he meant the java application? How do i "save as". I can't see an option there. I tried renaming java.bat but it is still recognized as "java.bat.exe"



You save as in the run_generate.bat I think

I get it now. But it's still not working after changing every bat file. It shows this error : "missing args"

My run_generate file contents are : C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate %*
