Topic: [ANN][BURST] Burst | Efficient HDD Mining | New 1.2.3 Fork block 92000 - page 1089. (Read 2170889 times)

I would mine solo but I started getting
every now and then.
Any idea whats wrong? Nothing changed with the wallet, the plots are generated with the same id as the v2 pool

It seems to be stuck at 2700!!

That is a bit slow, my clients usually take 10-15 mins to sync up, though I haven't brought up a new client for a thousand or so blocks.

Woo.  I'm quite excited about this coin. 

Would someone be willing to send me a handful of BURST so I can secure my account and assign mining?  I only need 3.

BURST-WRV6-MGJD-Z4TT-DDVLA

Much obliged.

I think we should focus on more important things at the moment..

I wish the pool would have a list of previous blocks found, or something to indicate pool luck.

CPU is only important for the generation of the plots. A good 4-core i7 or 8-core AMD can generate over one TB per day on Linux using dcct's miner. A higher-end CPU can hit 2TB, and dual-cpu boxes with 8-core E5s can generate over 4TB/day. After the initial generation, the CPU will sit idle and do nothing, so you want to strike a good balance between getting the plots done fast, and wasting money on a CPU sitting idle. If you plan to constantly add more hardware, a higher-end CPU is worth it. If you plan to do a one-time setup, a lower end CPU may be more cost effective. If you already have a powerful computer at your house, you could always generate the plots on that, and then when they are finished hook them up to a mining computer with a simple dual-core i3, or something of the like.

Memory requirements aren't quite hammered down right now. For my mining, I like to give each 4TB drive (3.6TB formatted) 2.5GB of RAM to itself. However, even at that size I get the occasional memory error, but it's not disruptive in most cases if you leave your miner in a looped script. For 5 drives each with 3TB of unformatted storage, I would opt to get 16GB of RAM, though you would likely be able to make do perfectly fine with 12 or even 10, especially if using Linux.

External looks to be marginally cheaper ($150 for 4TB on WD MyBook drives today on NewEgg, and $150 off of $500 purchases if you pay in Bitcoin), and USB 3.0 is fast enough to support plot generation AND mining. However, you may need to get an add-on PCI-e USB 3.0 card like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14G-0001-00018&cm_re=usb_3.0_pci-e-_-14G-0001-00018-_-Product to get enough ports. I would advise against USB 2.0 for larger drives.

Bandwidth, assuming you aren't generating the plots elsewhere and downloading them (for that, get some good bandwidth!) is very minimal. Both solo mining and pool mining use far less than the average house's internet connection.

Im soo happy that I found this one early, im not going to let it pass by like bitcoin.

Im thinking about ordering 5x3TB just debating on which path to go. Internal or external. Part of me wants to have a neat setup in a tower and part of me wants some crazy external mounted setup.

What are the CPU and memory requirements like? And also bandwidth?

1. Download pocminer_pool
2. move your plots folder from pocminer_v1 to pocminer_pool
3. In the mine.bat file, edit the poolip to http://178.62.39.204:8121
4. Go to http://localhost:8125/rewardassignment.html
5. At the bottom fill in your passphrase, and put BURST-8NZ9-X6AX-72BK-2KFM2 as recipient and submit. This will have a fee of 1
6. After 4 confirms, your generate address will show up in http://178.62.39.204:8121/users
7. run mine.bat

dev has put this in the post before, these step will be enough, i think, follow the step, and to ask which step you are in stuck

Alright, have a v2 pool running at http://178.62.39.204:8121/
The v1 pool will be converted to v2 in a day or 2, but setting up the migration would have delayed this release, and only running that one on v2 could result in a dangerously high portion of network hashrate on one pool, so it's better to split it for now anyway.

Usage:

You will need the pocminer_pool posted previously when the v1 pool was launched: https://mega.co.nz/#!7hwHQJLZ!-waC7CwWeMStkdAwjEVbew1fN_YqeZDRWMWfCylaNPo
Reward reassignment has not been integrated into the wallet gui yet, however an extra html page was included in the 1.0.3 release that you can use. http://localhost:8125/rewardassignment.html
Below where it says set reward recipient, fill in your passphrase, and put the pool's burst- address where it says recipient, and submit. This will have a fee of 1 Burst. It should come up with a page of a bunch of details you won't care about if everything is good.
Once the transaction is in a valid block + 3 confirms, you should be able to use the pool. You can check the users list on the pool to make sure that your numerical account id is there(your generate address)
Edit the pool's ip/port into the run_mine file for pocminer_pool.
Rename or move your passphrases.txt file, since pocminer_pool will try to solo instead if it sees a correct passphrase for those plots.

Starting target deadline is 75k
PPLNS
When your balance hits 500 burst you get paid.

All users who have not upgraded to 1.0.3 are now on a bad fork

V2 Pool allows you to mine with your solo plots. You do NOT have to regenerate plots if you have solo plots. v1 pool users can keep mining without doing anything. the v1 -> v2 migration for v1 pool users will be transparent to them, and not require them to do anything.

The coin's amazing isn't it? Awesome.

I am currently building my "farm", Only up to about 12TB right now though. I'm getting 2-3 blocks  a day still. I plan to keep adding space at 3TB or more a week for the next few months, then hopefully keep mining solo until it gets to where I'm hardly finding anything, then i'll pool it. But yea, this coin is amazing!
