I consolidate my drives Plots from 1TB HDDs to 4TB HDDs. Now i have 4 folder with 4 plots and 4 miner on the 4TB drive.
On my system run to many miner jobs, it would be clearer if I this 4x 1TB plots in one folder with one miner could work.

But I am not sure whether the miner also used all my 4 plots.

If the plots are generated using the same address on all the drives you can use symlink (linux) or mklink (windows) to link all plots to one plot folder and just use one miner (tamke care to not use overlapping plots-> waiste of space).

Almost no sell at c-cex, only more buyers with every hour Roll Eyes

Nice dream Wink

BTC sell amount
605.85 Total

BTC buy amount
9.58 Total

It is because you can't see the whole orders book Wink

that's not true, some one set the high price of burst,
look at the burst on sell
Price per BURST BURST amount 2122181.65 Total BTC amount 605.85 Total
and the burst on buy
Price per BURST BURST amount 10845720.31 Total BTC amount 9.58 Total
burst buy amount is 5 times of sell, you can't say 605 btc is larger than 9.85, if someone set 1btc / burst at the top and with a log, these could be ingore

Question regarding the "staggnation" parameter when generating plots:

"staggnation : is the number of plots to group together per run, which causes less disk reads / seeks the higher it is, the lower the more disk reads/ seeks"

Does this parameter only affects performance when generating plots or does it also affect performance later on when mining with these generated plots?

Basic pool support (done)
Improved pool support (in progress)
BurstId authentication system
i am really curious what is "BurstId authentication system". does this is a new concept ? Grin

and for the multipool , i think it is good idea, and will improve the coin's popularity, but sadly, i can't make it, but occationaly, i find a tile who teach how to make multipool by yourself, i think community who has the ability to learn it will do it, or we can PM this guy to see weather he is willing do it for us Grin

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-build-your-own-multipool-the-open-source-way-701200
or this, it needs 0.25 btc to setup, but don't know they will setup the poc miner,can try

Total Blocks 6706 mined by 672 miners
it seems 52 new miners mined the burst in these two days, Embarrassed

i can't compete with you guys any more, didn't find a block in three days,,,see you in the v2 pools Grin

how big is your plot file?

3.8T

I am in the same situation, but 2.7tb for me, hope v2 pool will be realeased soon

when i download the wallet 1.0.3,i was thought there will be a choice when open the wallet sever, sever linked to pool or solo ,,,but nothing,...just wait, hope switch solo and pool mode will not too complicate

start_plot_num : is the starting plot, every plot file you make, just start the plot from the previous generate run start_plot + num_plots.
total_num_plots : is the number of plots you wish to generate, each plot is 256kb.

I have a few questions regarding plot sizes and number of plots. Let's say I have 10 TB of free space in a RAID volume (linux). Does it affect performance if I create one big 10 TB plot file or is it better to create for example 5 plot files, each of 2 TB? Is mining more efficient if there is one big single plot file, or it doesn't matter?

Also, will my miner automatically use all plot files if there are many of them or any special configuration is needed?

When I create multiple plots, is this the correct way:

1st plot:

./plot [myid] 1 2048000 8000 2
Creating plots for nonces 1 to 2048001 (500 GB) using 2000 MB memory and 2 threads

2nd plot:

./plot [myid] 2048002 2048000 8000 2
Creating plots for nonces 2048002 to 4096002 (500 GB) using 2000 MB memory and 2 threads

Do I start the 2nd plot at nonce 2048001 or at 2048002 (I'm not sure if nonce 2048001 is included in the 1st plot)?

One large plot will be the same as more smaller plots.

All plot files in the plots folder are used.

Those are fine. If you're trying to do sequential like that, you start on previous_start + total_nonces for the next, so it would be 2048001 in that case. There is no need or benefit to use ranges right next to each other though, just make sure your ranges don't overlap.

I'm using dcct's generator and my plot is 35% done so I wanted to start mining with it. I assume the plot file needs to be in the plot folder for poc_miner so it can find it? I created a link (shortcut) to dcct's plot folder and ran the run_mine.bat. Got this error which repeats indefinitely until the terminal is closed.

Code:

[WARN] [08/29/2014 20:09:29.190] [default-akka.actor.default-dispatcher-8] [akka://default/user/$a/$b] For input string: ".fuse"
[ERROR] [08/29/2014 20:09:29.190] [default-akka.actor.default-dispatcher-8] [akka://default/user/$a/$b] changing Resume into Create after akka.actor.ActorInitializationException: exception during creation

Try a different type of link. I'm guessing it's not following the link. Someone else was having a problem with a particular type of link the other day also.

I did try just moving all of the files from the poc_miner folder into the plotgenerator folder so it wouldn't use a link. It worked fine on another computer but still gives that same error on this one.

Can you do a ls -al in your plots folder? I'm guessing there's something called .fuse in it.

Well....I think,we need our own forum for this coin.It is only 3 weeks old and 208 pages... Shocked

Allso will be great if we can find some trusted person who can create and hold wallet for bounties.
If community will like it,I can make one,but I don't think what community will trust to man with 130 posts.

And couple words about plotting with gpu's...Dev said he has working programm,and that means,he using it for himself right now.I think,a lot of people will cry here about it after some time.

Dev has made a lot of work and of course,he wold like to use it for himself to get paid for this work,but we can set bounty to him for gpu plott's generator.I will lovely put 9k of burst to this bounty from my pocket.

It was me that wrote about the OpenCL plot program, dev does not have one as far as I know.
Its not working btw - has some race condition and produces plot files that are only 90% accurate. I'm working on a C miner and porting it to windows currently, so the gpu plotter has low priority.

In all case, i don't think that's a gpu miner/plotter will be a good idea for this one. It could remove all the attractions of this coins if we can mine "like" other.

Just my 2 cents

Eh, the focus is still on storage. GPUs just would allow for the initial plot generation to be sped up to the maximum write speed(s) of the drive(s) you're using. It wouldn't replace hard drive mining.

Indeed. The gpu would only be used to generate the plots (just like you rCPU is doing now) but way much faster.
Mining itself will be done by your HDD('s).

I do think that the gpu plot generator should be something for the future and priority should be given to the v2 pool (which is what the Dev is doing if i am correct).
