Topic: [ANN][BURST] Burst | Efficient HDD Mining | New 1.2.3 Fork block 92000 - page 1008. (Read 2171083 times)

Sent my promised 25k to your address in sig.

Before I send, I at least have to ask, how did you lose your personal coins?

You are always talking about C/C++ as a safe alternative. You know what can happen if a buffer overflow is exploited? Or even malicious code is run?

This is not JAVA running in the browser running malicious code here, this is an application from a trusted source, open source, you can compile it yourself. It has less attack vectors compared to a C wallet with equal code quality.

I agree with you we need a C/C++ wallet, but for speed and usability, not safety.

at the http://burst-pool.cryptoport.io/ pool i alway get failed to submit nonce is thie normal ??
plotting is already done.

You got it.

Everyone please send me the funds for this multipool!

Unfortunately, I lost all of my personal coins =(

But I will still take care of this for the community.

Anyone want to sell me 1.5 million at 480? Send me a PM!

That is strange, since only contacts are saved locally and everything else is on the network/blockchain.

Yea, I was wondering the same thing, although I sent before I knew this had happened. Hopefully he's still on the up n up.

Hi guys, new to mining and new to burst.

Fantastic idea for us minnows.

Got everything set up for v2 pool.

Could a kind souls please throw 1 burst my way please.

BURST-5GH8-NZLH-T6EH-9M7AH

Much appreciated!

You got it.

Guess the hold up for Bittrex is that NXT has a new API and that forks of NXT might have not applied it yet: https://twitter.com/N10z/status/507641472397504512

Very, very nice work   I'll try it on my linux box, but any chance for win versions...? Would be awesome  

I like to share an updated version of the Linux C tools. You can download it here:

https://bchain.info/dcct_miner.tgz

First you need to unpack it:
tar -xvzf dcct_miner.tgz

Then compile it:
make

of if you use 32-bit Linux:
make linux32

If you really can't compile it use the ones in "bin".

Now you have 3 tools:

The plot merge utility

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 merge utility optimizes your already created files making them a lot faster to read.

How to use it?

Start it with one parameter, the input file.

This will read your plotfile and create another one - 1234567890_0_100000_100000 - in your current directory. It now has a stagger size of 100000 which is a LOT better.
When done, delete the input file and put the optimized plot in its directory.
You can now use the optimized file with both the JAVA and the C miner.

This does not work for incomplete plotfiles.

The C plotfile generator

This tool creates plotfiles. It takes the same parameters as the JAVA plotfile-generator.

Start it like this:

The 32-bit version can handle a stagger size of about 15000, lots more (depending on your memory) with the 64-bit version.

Some recommended stagger sizes:
2GB memory -> 4000
4GB memory -> 8000
8GB memory -> 20000
16GB memory -> 50000
32GB memory -> 100000

It creates a directory "plots" and puts your files there. They exactly match the files generated with the JAVA-Tool and can be used with any miner.

The miner

You want to use your plotfiles to generate coins, this is where the miner is used.

The C version has some advantages:
- It uses almost no memory
- A lot faster, multithreaded
- Can handle multiple plot directories

You first have to create a file called "passphrases.txt" and put your passphrase in it. It supports only one passphrase and uses the files first line.
Avoid spaces before/after your passphrase.

Then start the miner:


For example:


Each directory is read by a separate thread. If you use multiple HDD's try to use one directory per HDD, this is fastest.

The miner creates some nice output:

When seconds left approach zero, you likely found a block.

If you like it - you can do me a favor and use/spread my blockchain-explorer http://bchain.info. It does not support BURST unfortunately.

What error??

well i get error with this... it say something with wallet but i have it online all the time

My run_mine.bat is like this:
java -Xmx1024m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner mine "http://burst-pool.cryptoport.io"

Difficulty continues to rise. I wrote a quick script to grab the baseTarget from every block, and used the it to calculate and graph total network size over time:
