what about the plot gpu miner? to fill a 3tb you need 3 days with a i5, this is crazy

Yes , Any new info for the pocminer written in C and not in java ( java is very very slow  Sad ) .

Can't you write one for nvidia, Amph?  Wink Or convince Christian to do a comeback?  Smiley Perhaps we can start a nvidia bounty

why does https://bchain.info/BURST/tools/overlap tell me it does?

"  Your results (assuming all plots are completed):
Plots 16036893174223139082_1800001_3600000_1000 and 16036893174223139082_3600001_3608000_1000 overlap (1800000 nonces)

Totals:
1800000 nonces overlap (439 GB)
9008000 nonces total (2199 GB)
9008 disk seeks per Scoop (72 seconds @ 8ms)   "

You need to start from 5400001

16036893174223139082_5400001_3608000_1000


why is that? being the second one is barely at 1950000 if i stopped it now it wouldnt overlap?

Because you need to do the first plot 1800000 plus the second one 3600000 to have the third one 5400001..



and i keep on learning, didnt know you add them up

Is it more efficient to have less larger files.  Or more smaller files?
for example, does the mine work better with 4 x 1TB files or would it work faster with  16 x 256GB files?


Is the same thing, but I think is better more smaller files..

Is it confirmed that non-completed/stopped plots really are working and able to submit shares...?

Yes, it has been this way since day one.

Thanks. We can then conclude I'm a gigant dumb ass who deleted fully functional plots...  Angry

Don't run linux in a VM, rather just dual boot, or even run off a usb stick (make sure you make the plots on your main HDD though)

will linux see my ntfs hdd? and write the plots to be able to mine in windows?






Yes, and yes, but if your home directory is encrypted you'll have to write the plots directly to C:(or D or whatever else you've got)

It is very profitable.

With 3.4 TB I'm was able to get 5000 BURST per day so at current rate of 0.00000850 BTC will be 0.0425 BTC per day. That's Great.

Can anyone help me use the merge.exe for windows ? i think that i have some overloop nonce but i dunno exactly what nonce and i have like 10 files Smiley ... i think that i need to put merge.exe in the Plots folder and what is the next command to resize the nonce ..

Thanks!

so just for better clarification no matter what happens while generating the plots or the number rangeyou choose (computer crashing, closing cmd ) and no matter the amount of plot files (as long as none of the plots overlap)  you will mine based on the total size of all of them?

if i stop my plotter while its generating what will happen and whats the downside? is there a way to know where it stopped so i can start it again

If you use the windows plotter it tells you were it is. And you can start plotting from where it tell you it left off. If you are using the linux plotter... not really.
This is the downside. Other than that, nothing much. The miner will give an error message that it can't read the file, but it actually does.

How do you know it is still reading/using the file when it gives the error message saying it can't?

yes if pool make sure to put pool's wallet for recipient
