Same thing happened to me and I should of had enough memory, wasn't sure if it was a java 32bit/64bit thing or what.  Had to settle with memory at 1048 I believe.  To be fair with everything running I have around 60+  ram usuage but should of easily been able to reserve 2gb. 

Has anyone encountered the above?

Nevermind. In my haste to test it I forgot I was in the downloads folder and had no plot file there...

Tested on 3 different computers.

Not sure if this is the one but there is #burstcoin on the irc.freenode network.

If that is not it please lets create one

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

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.

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).

I'm not good at cross-platform programming. But I managed to compile. Unfortunately the rate hasn't increased. Had to replace library shabal.s to a different version. Maybe because of this.

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

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

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.

You cant. Just start with a nonce above your previous range and keep the partial files.

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

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

Nope, a 1k block deadline could only mine a block that has waited a bit over 16 minutes since the last one.

I know the V2 pool has a target deadline of 75K, but what deadline is actually feasible to mine a block these days?

Could a 75K ever really get it?  Or even a 10K?

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)

Hi Guys,

I have managed to start plotting with the below settings. Could someone show me which variables to change to increase the RAM and CPU.

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 1000 4


Thanks

I want to plug a 2nd hdd to my computer but it has a different wallet (passphrase) and its own plot file.

Do I still run the wallet run.bat only once? (cant open 2nd one anyway)

(yes I know i run the mine.bat for each drive)

So only 1 wallet run.bat needs to be open?

And it isn't working btw

Yes, but you can check first and shoot later.
