How much plots can one miner handle? I would like to optimize more, but you get no response from the miner.
I have 2-3 plots in on folder but i cant see whether all be used.

as i know the limit is only the filesystem.
i run it with 2gb plotfiles on full 2tb drives on linux.
i did this to be able to move them quickly within the cluster and i am quite happy with the performance.
each node parses 8 tb within seconds but the diff is going insane.
the java miner takes more memory the bigger the plotfiles are.
i am not sure if this is a bug, a feature or java related...

if burst continues to perform like it does i can add more nodes and use the existing to create the plots really simple.
the more nodes there are the faster i can plot :-)

I think best solution - one miner for each drive.

Nothing is wrong.Your setup is fine and yes you are mining.
The target Deadline is 50K.

So, instead of an extremely accessible Deadline which would make more people (as in, everyone) have valid shares, this "pool" is following the path of elitism already.
Go figure, I thought the whole point of "decentralisation" would be to allow more people to get at least something back.
But no, this altcrap pool is starting right off the bat favouring the 1%, AND taking a 2% fee.

You're doing it wrong.

I tend to agree that the deadline cutoff is a little restrictive. With almost 2TB on the pool, I usually get a couple/few shares in per block found. I imagine someone who wants to mine from a 500GB laptop or even smaller would sometimes not get any shares in for a found block. Deadline cutoff should be higher, and maybe tied to difficulty so it remains roughly the same over time (i.e. same proportion of shares accepted). Still waiting to see the v2 pool and see how it looks/works.

I'm certain V2 will contain many upgrades, and make more people happy.

I hadn't found any blocks in quite a while, then found two almost back to back! woohoo!

BURST power!

Yes,this is burst power man Grin

My last block was 5940 now I seat about 30 hours without block.It is more and more difficult to mine burst with every day.Yesterday I got two blocks,and today 0 this is my first day without block.

how to start mining? my run_generate.bat keeps pop up and close... the guide from OP doesnt help. I have no idea what the guide is on about...

run_generate is what makes your plot file. You need to click run_mine to start mining, (AFTER you have a plot file made) but your wallet has to be open to mine. I didn't design this system and I don't know what the guy was smoking who did design it. It has lots of room for improvement.

Well, I really stepped in it now. I just dropped $330.00 on ebay for 4 Seagate 7200 rpm 3 TB drives.

Worst case, when this coin craps its pants, I can keep the drives and sell them for a mild profit through my PC repair business to people who need new hard drives in their computers. So I'm virtually loss-proof on this, but damn, to lay out $330.00 that I know damn well I should be saving.....

With shipping included, that $330 bill means I got my drives at $27.50 per TB, which is a little better than the $30 / TB average I have seen. 3 TB drives seem to be the sweet spot for dollars spent vs. TBs gained.

My current mining pc hasn't found anything in 3 days on its 600 GB plot I hacked together from 4 old laptop hard drives via spanning in Windows Disk Management. I sure hope I have the wallet info set right in the miner so it is sending coins to the right wallet! It should be right.

Gl man, I'm pool mining right now with 500 GB and I can get about 1000 per day.

If anyone can shed some light onto this, it would be great.
I don't get why the stagger is 8191 maximum. Code limited or because of memory allocation by the OS?
I am generating plots at 60000 under linux and it works fine. My next question would be if I still can use these files. Or, if I go higher than 8191 and keep it a 8191 multiple, will it work then?
Asked burstcoin dev but no answer until now, so maybe one of you guys know something.

Thanks
