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?

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

Yeah, those files are fine. With 8GB of RAM, either not enough of it is free, you are on a 32-bit version of Java (or OS!) or your -Xmx value is too small. Either way, stagger isn't too important, it just makes parsing the files a tad faster.

I saw your tweet to bittrex.  Have they contacted you?

Not yet.

Hello,

To generate plots, how to determine the plot value. I just gave the value as 824000 for 200 GB. Will this be enough. I also have a 1.5 Tb space, how much plot to allocate? pls help !!

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1200m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate 1007041384185016045 0 824000 500 5


Plot size is calculated as (tb*1024*1024*1024)/256 or (gb*1024*1024)/256.


thank you !!

one more question, i am having multiple computers, can i use the same account number (1007041384185016045 ) for all the computers? or do I have to download the wallet in different computers and generate new account for each for plotting ?

i would like to know this too, can you run the same wallet on different computers, (harddrives here and there all combining hashrate)?

You can use the same address on different computers, just make sure you use a different nonce range.

You should be proud of this project it is very refreshing. Congratulations for the true innovation.

Excuse me PLEASE!!! Shocked

But I read here a while back that any number we use has to be an even multiple of 8191, is that still correct?

For example, my 600 GB plot = 2457600, but when dividing by 8191 I found I needed to make it 2457300 to come out as an even multiple.

So if this is correct, don't forget to check the number by dividing it by 8191, and lower the big number until it comes out even, as in (some number).000 .


never read that anywhere :0 hope i dont have to spend another 24 hours replotting Sad

I did mine in groups of 4000 and 8000 (instead of 8192)

So mine were always even.

I have ~8 tb like that and I hit plenty of blocks before switching to the pool.
I did mine in 5000; each of my plots were 250,000 plots big.

Actually, I think the meaning from that was this: whatever you choose for your plot stagger number (8192, 1000, 2000, etc), your ending plot range number should be a multiple of.  For example, for those who don't have enough RAM for 8192, using 1000 or 2000 means you can use any ending range number that is a multiple of 1000 (or 2000).

Edit: Source: README file in POCMiner - "The total amount of nonces should be a multiple of the stagger amount."
