Any advise ?

Welp, I'm officially obsessed with burstcoin. I just formatted my 3TB drive which was full of HD movies that I've been collecting for years. I figure I can re-download the movies, but I'll never get a chance to mine BURST at this low of a difficulty again.
I know, I've never seen a coin as cool as burst, im going to buy some while its still low.

Yeah super exciting! I feel like we just found scrypt mining on week one! =D

i can't mine or generate my own wallet address ....

need more simple GUI wallet and miner ...

or a guide with pictures
Yes a gui wallet and miner would be really beneficial to the masses.

Maybe someone should do a youtube video on it....lol

Seriously, for better adoption of the coin, simplifying the process can help. At least get the wallet to be GUI.

Low sells, no panic it will rise again. Smiley

If I had a 8x3TB RAID0 or JBOD span, what generate numbers should I use?

Would I want a single plot?

I use cheap SATA Controller and single drives. Raid5 is safer but you can also take RAID0 or JBOD .

I would always take 2TB plots not  a large plot.

Thanks!

So, what would the generate command look like?

ID#:

Plot Start: 1

Plot End: 8392704 (for a 2TB--right?)

What are the next two?  The plot size and then what (edit: this is threads maybe?)?  The guide has them set to 1000 & 4 respectively.

Plots - Plot X

0 7800000 2000 4
7800000 7800000 2000 4
15600000 7800000 2000 4
...
...

Etc.

OK, so I plot them one at a time (or one per computer I have lying around).

Am I doing different settings for each drive?  How do they differ?  Just change the starting point by 1 each time?

not just by one, but by the amount of nonces you plotted. Or just increase by 100M and you are safe.

If I am plotting 8 drives am I then running pocminer's run_generate 8 times?  Once from the folder located on each drive?

If you mean that you will generate the same plot on every drive i would advise, actually recommend using different plots.
Using the same plot is just like creating one plot and copying it to the other 7 drives (if identical).

Create your plots in sequences over all the drives.But doing this 8 times at once will require some powerfull hardware (cpu+mem) setup.


Definitely need to make sure you have enough cpu thread and system ram to plot all those simultaneously.

You really should plot them one after another. All simultaneously wont be faster - most likely slower.

True, bandwidth of the sata ports would be slow if done simultaneously on a standard sata controller on a motherboard. Unless your running those drives off of a PCI-e 8x or 16x card.

Wow someone really just sold a btc and a half at 250.

I'm guessing that noob who got the 3 million cheap coins is dumping them all now.

It's good in the long run, more distribution and less weak hands.

Damn, this thread grows faster than anyone I've ever seen   Cheesy

Any news on v2 of the pool that I missed...?
What new features will be in the pool v2 besides being able to use solo plots? The pool seems to work fine as of now.

It's nice to have a backup just in case there's an issue with the pool at anytime. So, solo mining can be the back up of the pool mining and you can use your personal burst id to setup your plots.
