Hey burstcoin, did you finally get in contact with Bittrex?

Is anyone close to getting a Windows version of dcct's Linux plotter and/or a decent gpu plotter?

Will you simplify the V2 pool process in the near future?

Thanks for your hard work on this project....
Haven't heard anything from bittrex

Taking a look at gpu plotting again right now. I got a kernel working but with bad performance last week. Need to dig through the amd docs a bit. The per thread ram usage is too high to run everything on local mem, so that complicates things a bit.

I plan on integrating the reward assignment into the wallet interface, but haven't gotten there yet.

Is Pool v1 faster or v2 faster when the plots are ready?
can anybody tell me??

v1 is easier to setup, and pays out faster, but is harder to get a share, you lose more in transaction fees, and your plots will only work on that pool.

v2 is easier to get a share, and you can use your plots at any v2 pool, but is harder to set up and requires you have a coin to do the reward assignment

Hey Dev can you help me with instructions on how to install and run that plot generator that is supposed to be twice as fast for Linux? I'm using Opensuse  Huh can you help me with step by step commands please?

Same thing, the speed depends on your HD space.

Only difference between V1 is 50k on deadline and V2 is 75k on deadline.

Look ARROUND!
Today in Burst News:
- Burst to be added to Bittrex soon
- over 70 BTC volume and near 900 satoshi price on c-cex
- Gui plotter/miner in the works

i think burst on bittrex is not good now!

BTER, Poloniex, BTC38 and Cryptsy are better options in my opinion.

For bittrex is good, but not now..

yes... any big exchange is good... but not now...
It's not confirmed, but it sure looks like they will add it soon, especially with all the volume and attention lately.
I would be shocked if we don't see BURST on Bittrex later today. There is no other reason why they would add NXT all of a sudden.

My suggestion - pull your sell order on C-Cex. We have all made good money selling in the 600 - 800 range but I think it is worth waiting for a second exchange and see what happens.


trex just added NXT back, I guess they will be adding BURST soon aswell

Look here!

Bittrex want to add this coin soon!

Dev, speak with them!

That's a big step, good job Burst team.

Maybe ninja add to a different exchange later?

1680TB? Thats insane. How are you accomplishing this?

I'm having a problem generating a 2nd plot on my hdd.  I started pool mining, so moved the run_generate.bat and pocminer jar file over to my poolminer folder, then edited the file to this:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate 4163282010088137402 4000000 5434000 1000 6%*
PAUSE

...Same as I used for my first plot file, except the ranges.  My 2 files are named:
4163282010088137402_0_3890000_1000
4163282010088137402_4000000_5434000_1000

The problem I'm seeing is this:  the run_generate script keeps going past nonce "5434000"...and keeps doing this until I run out of room...at which point I get an ugly error message, and the generated plot is deleted.  To fix it, I figured I could just kill it after writing nonce "5434000" (once it started generating 5435000).  However, after restarting my miner, I still get an error saying it can't read the newly generated plot file (Error reading file: 4163282010088137402_4000000_5434000_1000).  What's wrong with my run_generate?? How can I kill it safely?  I had no problems generating my first plot file. :/

Hopefully the Windows port of the Linux version is out soon. I don't mind doing it on Linux, just a preference using Windows in general. It does plot faster on Linux on my Ubuntu machine.

ICO? Not even once.
im doing pooled mining and so far i have 160gb plotted.  it says is no valid shares to submit to pool. is this normal i was told to verify im mining to check the pool for my user name, it hasnt showed up

Same. I moved my plots from pocminer to pocminer_pool. Also, my numerical address is not showing on the pool's list.

so what happens to me i did mine in 400gb plots, 1-1800000 and 1800001-36000000   am I ok to mine or should i of done it differently

What are the names of your plot files?

16036893174223139082_1_1800000_1000
16036893174223139082_1800001_3600000_1000

nobody explained to me that it was important!! just to not have duplicate plots. ..


edit: could somebody explain the importance of staggering and ram and such i have 8gb ram and cant set it over 1200without it erroring and stagger i cant set it higher than 2400 without error so i just left them both at 1000

Your fine with those two.

Staggering is nothing but how big each section is. You can use up to 8191 mb of ram to "hold" the plots in ram as they are created. It doesn't matter if they are 500 or 8191 big. In the end they are the same. As long as they don't overlap.

He asked for the names of your files because it shows everything about how big the are and whether they overlap



Anyt tips on how to speed up the plots generation? Does staggering size matter to speed it up?

To a point stagger size will speed up plot generation--a stagger of 100 will be far faster than a stagger of 10. However, once you get over 1000 or so, the benefit from higher staggers mostly lies simply in the time it takes to parse each file. Smiley

So I guess it depends on the speed of the CPU right?

Yup, plot generation all hinges on CPU power.

Is that Linux plot generator on the OP really twice as fast? is it only for Ubuntu? would it work on Opensuse? I really would like to use it, are there any instructions?


https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8299637

im curious as well is it faster?

It's significantly faster, and will work on any Linux system which uses makefiles and gcc--Opensuse included.

Code:
wget https://bchain.info/plotgenerator.tgz
tar zxvf plotgenerator.tgz
make

You can edit the Makefile to add -O3 and -march=native, though I've seen no performance boost from doing so personally. On a 2xIntel E5-2560v2 (so 16 cores, 32 threads) this plot generator gets around 14000 nonces/minute, while the traditional linux plotter gets a bit over 7000.

Thanks, so after I enter those commands, what do i do? will it make a text file somewhere? where do I find it? and also where do I edit the details of the plots? Also, how do I make it run, if yo could please provide me with the command (sorry I'm a linux newbie over here).
