@burstcoin.

Hate to push the matter but lots of people are curious.

Has bittrex contacted you?

Also (knowing your busy with everything else) could you post new updates and such via twitter when you have them.

Its HUGE when the Dev does this and I think its time the crypto world knows your genius. Grin

Ok - Ive followed the guide - Seems to be working on drive 1. What settings do I need to change for each drive? currently on drive 1 of 2 I have this:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate (ACC#) 1 800000 1000 2

Would I need to change "1 800000" to "800001 1600000" for Drive 2 if I have them generating simultatenously?

Also - Does it matter that the size of the drive 4TB vs whatever the size was of the drive used by the person who wrote the guide?

And finally - How do I go about joining a pool?

Thanks so much guys - Won't be forgetting the help you have all given me

It is starting_nonce number_of_nonces, not starting_nonce, ending_nonce, so you can keep that 800000 the same on each, just change the start number. The start for the next plot must be at least the previous start + the number of nonces on prevous. So you're doing 1 800000 now, so next one one start at at least 800001. No need to make them sequential though, doing 100000000 800000, then 200000000 800000, then 300000000 800000 is just as good.

For pools, you want a v2 pool. Some basic instructions are on the front page of mine: http://178.62.39.204:8121/
uray also has a v2 pool, but those 2 are your choices. You will need a coin for the reassignment fee, so send me you address, and I'll send you some.

is it possible for two different miners with different wallets to submit shares to the same address?

for example when i first started learning how to plot i was using my old ID/old wallet passphrase, when i figured it out i started a new wallet with new ID and new plots, is there a way i can run my old one on a different computer to utilize the plots for my new wallet?

Only if you want to solo mine. If you did a reward recip assignment from your old address to your new address you could solo mine with those plots to the new address, but no miner supports this currently.

so my old wallet is mining the v2 pool.. i would put my new wallet in this field..

Get reward recipient:
Account:

for all received funds to be send to my new wallet?

No. The procedure I described would only work if you were solo mining instead of using a pool. What I described is basically setting your new address as your active pool so it would get mined coins.

okay thanks.

its ok to have different plots with different stagger right? first few i did 1000 next few can i do 2000 and be ok to mix and match as long as they are correct multiple of the stagger

Hey guys,

Just bought 2x 4TB drives to dedicate solely to mining burst. Following the Windows guide now but was wondering whether someone could give me the optimal settings for my drives? I.e. the maximum number of coins per drive.

Just asking because I see the windows guide is a month old and I expect everyone has fine tuned the settings by now!

Thanks in advance!

There's no real tweaking by HDD brand like there is with GPU mining.

There are a few things you can do to generate plots faster but with 2x4tb you should be up and running quickly just by following the guide... you don't have to fully generate 8tb worth of plot space before you can begin mining. Your "hashrate" will ramp up as your plots build in size.

Keep a bunch of memory open so things run nice and smoothly, and SYNC YOUR COMPUTER CLOCK TO TIME.NIST.GOV before your run your miner!

Thank you brother!

Any particular settings/values I need to chnage in the guide to get maximum efficiency on these drives? Or can I litterally just follow the guide verbatim and be up and running full speed?

Thanks again!

There's very little to worry about regarding performance after plotting is done, however a lot of people overlook the stagger size parameter. The higher the stagger, the faster it will read, and also the less stress will be put on the disk while mining. The speed increase isn't too important, since it won't likely make sufficient difference, but I like my disks to last. If using higher stagger values, with the java plotter, you need to use 64 bit java, and adjust the path in your bat accordingly.

Awesome - So Is it OK If I set up everything on one drive, and then just copy and paste the miner and wallet folder over to the new drive and run them both? Or are there settings that need to be adjusted?

Also - I understand it will take a long time to generate the plots for 8TB - will it start mining at the same time e.g. mining once its created a plot? Or do I have to wait for the whole thing to be complete before I can mine anything?

copy everything BUT PLOTS .. need to generate more with new nonce's and you mine and generate same time

As this is still a new form of mining, not a lot of optimization has been done to the process yet. So your best bet is to follow the guide verbatim.

i dont believe this is possible as you use the wallets pubkey when plotting your nounces so your plots are specific to one wallet address.

im guessing you cant rename them to a different account id Tongue

i cant recall whether this was answered before but can you have multiple miner instances point to a v2 pool mining to the same burst address? i've got a second instance pointed to the pool but have yet to see it submit a valid share. It could just be it hasn't found one yet which is very likely as i've justed started plotting on this second PC. just wanted to check it does work though.

Should be fine.

thanks.

edit: works! second miner just logged it submitted a share to the pool

Any estimates of current network size in TB (probably PB by now)?

How would I go about calculating this for myself?
