I bought some burst today. But after looking at it burst a little more it should have been made three years ago. Its actually a step backwards. But its here so its innovative, but it shouldn't get this much attention cause we have graphic cards which perform better, with better security. And nothing run by a pc is eco or more eco friendlier than another, cause its still using power plus I don't think everyone is going to turn off all there rigs.  I could go on more about viruses, hacks, and hard drive failure but I bought some so I want to make good with my purchase. But If we can get pc fans to start mining with our gpu's, hard drives, that's innovative. You might as well invest into western digital with all the new hard drive purchases esp if they make hard drives for mining like we have seen with motherboards.

I can't say I think like you do here... For me, I leave my computer on 24/7 no matter what, so having it run the hard drive miner, that doesn't take hardly any extra power at all, is essentially free mining to me.

What you're talking about with mining with fans??? I have no clue what the hell you are talking about there. That isn't ever going to be a thing. It simply doesn't make sense.

Hard drive mining is far from a step backwards, it's the most energy efficient way to mine there is.

people ARE shutting off their rigs. Many many people, ESPECIALLY GPU. Almost everyone I know that was a GPU miner, has either turned their rigs completely off, or kept a few running with nvidia cards, or kept a few running just because... but people mining for instant profit, with GPUs are pretty much completely out of the game. Mining with GPU is so power hungry compared to this hard drive mining, it's not even funny...

But yea, I'm glad you invested in the coin, but if you really feel it's a step backwards, maybe you should have checked it out BEFORE you bought...

I will gladly buy your whole stock of coins right now for 350 sats. Get you out and you can never look back.

BURST power! lol.

So can anyone tell me what the realistic minimum amount of drive space is needed to mine this coin?

I have an 8 Core I7 and its only using 33%. Memory usage is 500mb but I have 32GB.


C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 1 4000000 8191 16

(Assuming its a 8-core 16 thread cpu)

When i execute with these settings i get the below error.

Has anyone encountered the above?

Yeah, change -Xms1000m to -Xms4000m to allocate more memory.

Did as suggested and now get the below error.

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Thanks for your help

How much free memory do you have in your machine? 4000m will require nearly 4GB of free RAM to allocate properly. If you don't have sufficient memory for this, just change '8191' to '1024'.

Thats the thing i have like 12GB free!! I have noticed in Task Manager that the process is the 32bit version. Should it not be using x64 so it can address the extra memory?

Do you have a 64-bit version of Java installed? If not, just reduce 4000m to 2000m and then reduce 8191 to 4096, or 2048.

Thanks!! it has 8 threads so i will drop it down.

Do you know how to restart plotting if you stop it?

If you stop a plot before it finishes, there's not really a way to 'resume' (other than calculating the ending nonce, and then merging the files). However, it doesn't matter, you can just start generating the next plot as you would if the previous plot finished correctly. The only issue is overlapping plots, but gaps mean nothing, all that matters is the total number of nonces. Smiley

Thanks!! How do i find the the current plot number?

Is there no IRC chan for Burst? You need one!


In the standard naming convention for plotfiles, you have:
address_startingNonce_noncesInFile_noncesPerRound
In the above, add the startingNonce to the noncesInFile (both from your most recent plot) to get the next startingNonce for your next plot.

So for example, if your most recent (aka highest startingNonce) file looked like this:
address_4095500_4095500_8191
Then your next plot should be
address_8191000_4095500_8191
Where 4095500 controls the size of that file (in this case, 1TB) and 8191 controls the amount of RAM used in generation (2GB with the linux plotter), and where 'address' is representative of your actual numerical address (which is generated by run_dump).


You my friend, are a legend. I get it now! Only issue i can see is if you stopped the plotting like me the file name will not be correct as it presumes it plotted to the height you specified.

Yup, that's why you get errors in reading the files, but they're harmless, just noting that the plot file isn't complete. Smiley
