does this look right for pool mining? its just sitting there not doing anything else

It shouldn't say that there is no share to submit to pool.  If you want to solo mine, delete the pool ip from the bat file
Everything else looks golden

When I was plotting I didnt always finish the plot so sometime the miner says

Error reading file

Does the miner use the nounces that are available or does it not use that file at all because it's not complete?

If it still mines with whats there I guess it doesnt matter.. if it just skips that file then I am wasting space



edit: exactly like the person above xD


It still uses the files, you're ok.


Also, just tested and simlinks work.


what is the pools wallet address? one of the steps is to put it for recepient im assuming so i can receive coin but i cant find the wallet adress to enter in the rewardassignment.html



BURST-8NZ9-X6AX-72BK-2KFM2


i enter my passphrase and copy and paste that wallet for recipient

and get this error  {"errorCode":5,"errorDescription":"Unknown account"}

Look here to see if you are mining on the pool or not

http://178.62.39.204:8121/shares

If your address has shares, you are mining.

yes. at first start just using 16gb and keeps rising until fills up all memory. maybe im doing something wrong.


when i open 6 miner on 32gb machine memory usage at start 16gb and keeps rising and later fills up all memory. stagger size is 1024. total capacity is 6 tb.


how can i configure windows machine or plots to use less memory?

The actual mining does not consume much memory. Plotting yes.
from the command "run_generate.bat 987654567890987612 0 80000 8000 7" that you are using to start plotting, 8000 represents the stagger size. The number of nonces to generate in a stack (stagger). And one nonce has 256 Kb of space/memory consumed/used
So, if you lower that you will lower the amount of memory needed to plot.


So your saying that you only start the miners and they start using 32 Gb of RAM?
There are 2 aspects to this.

1. edit your mine.bat's -Xmx parameter. Xmx sets the max memory each JVM instance is allowed.

2. Windows 7's prefetching has a tendency to attempt to load and keep in memory large amounts of plot data after it sees you keep reading the same files repeatedly. Ironically it sometimes can try to preload so much that there isn't enough memory left for the miner to actually function, causing instability. If you start mining, see the ram usage increasing, then close the miners and see that most of the memory has not been released, this is likely your issue. I had 2 machines that started fine, then started having stability issues like this, and disabling prefetching fixed both of them immediately. To do this, open the services manager, stop and disable superfetching, then open regedit, go to HKLM/system/currentcontrolset/control/sessionmanager/memory management/prefetchparameters, and set enable prefetch, and enable superfetch to 0. Then reboot

If he's pool mining its fine if there's no shares to submit; it means he didn't hit the pool deadline of 75000.

It will still use available nonces, but I would advise you to finish the plotting because if you don't, it can cause overlapping, which wastes space.

trying to pool mine.... this thing is freaking out.. i copied my address and passphrase and changed the IP..

i deleted plots folder and replaced it with a shortcut to the plots folder that is being built.. any ideas?

java -cp pocminer_pool.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer_pool.POCMiner mine http://127.0.0.1:8125 http://178.62.39.204:8121








Shortcuts don't work. You need the actual plots folder and plots there to work.
So you need to keep generating plots until you fill up the first drive and then continue to the next one

Ther was an idea earlier but didn't see it going trough.
Someone asked abotu simlinks. Will try later and see if that works

I don't think putting a shortcut will work, but I might be mistaken.

i had my solo miner runnig i closed it and now it stopped freaking out... it says NO valid shares to submit to pool any ideas

Is this running ok? what do those errors mean

You need to run the wallet in order to solo mine. Also, you will need to copy your passfrase you got when creating the account to passphrases.txt and run run_dump_address.bat.
It should dump your address and passfrase to address.txt

Let me know if its working metter


those seem to be the old addresses i generated when learning, the most current one im using is mining right?

 i have the wallet running and logged in with the same passphrase thats in the .txt file
 the generate bat wrote into the passphrase file found address "passphrase" -> 140628xxxxxxxx

but it still says error reading file 140628xxxxx then it says new best 140628196xxxx:9729




Ok, go to your wallet. Click on more info on Balance thingy (green blob). You should see the ID there. Is it the same with the one in your plot file?

yes inside the wallet the number is identical to the number on the top of my generate nonce bat and is identical to what you see in the miner cmd picture. its disconcerting seeing it say that there is a error reading the file with the same number (the one in my wallet and my plot file) .. as you see in the picture in red circle.. am i ok?

No, sorry. I read between the lines. Its working now.
The error about not being able to read the file is ok. If you are generating that plot at the same time you will see that message every time a new block is found.
Also, that message is shown if you stop the plotting before it ends. But it still reads the file, you should be fine

My bad

wonderful! now im feeling confident Smiley  so theoretically could i map drives on my network and generate plots on them too and utilize my network and other computers that stay powered on in my same lan?

you've been so much help i dont have any burst yet, but i would love to tip you, do you have a doge address?

DSdAH4YMmQeQypxxQd3HgN3tToX27ch5eM is my Doge.
So, in theory you could use the drives on lan. But, when you plot files the process is as follows. The data is generated in RAM, and when the set stagger size is reached it is then dumped to disk.
For example. I am plotting files with a stagger of 40000 (thats 10 Gb of RAM used). So, every 40000 nonces, the plotter dumps 10 Gb of data to disk.
The problem is that unless you have gigabit LAN, plotting on mapped drives will be slow

so it would most likely be wise to mine in the v2 pool untill im running a good size plot for solo mining... the pocminer pool v1 i already added the IP in the bat file, can i just merge the pocminer folder with the original miner files and run the bat for it to work?

it looks like most of the files are identical can they overwrite each other with the exception of my passphrases witch should be what was generated into my solo one?

You only need to change the IP address at the end of the command for it to work, plus copying the address. txt, passphrases.txt
And for solo mining, from what dudes say, you would need at least 2 Tb to actually find something. And considering the page on where this was posted I would say right now you will find a block in over 4 days.

I think the last "/" needs to be removed after :8121

duh
