Hexa would be good to do the plots faster, but 12TB with the Quad is fine too. More HDD storage is more important, you might be able to OC the quad a bit to get it to create plots faster.

people dumping now on c-cex

What would be a good Solution?

4TB and a Hexa-Core Xeon E5-2620 or better a Quad-Core Xeon E3-1230 and 12TB?
Or better more TB but then it takes so long to plot...

Dang, 2TB of my space hasn't been mining all day

Personally I would do a RAID5, just to have some insurance with the parity and plus it's simplier to manage one plot. If the array fails a drive or two, it's easier to rebuild the array than re-plotting everything again and would have less down time. If you decide not to do an array, RAID/JBOD, then just make a plot for each drive.

1TB = 1024 GB

24 TB = 24576 GB

Multiply this by 4096 per GB, equals 100663296.

But I have read here that this big number should be an even multiple of 8191 for whatever reason, and 100663296 / 8191 = 12289.5, so use 12289 * 8191, which equals 100659199.

Spanning 8 3TB drives into one might work (I think Windows NTFS has a 16 TB limit, check on that) but it'd take a helluva long time to plot.  Like weeks with a high end i7 cpu.

My AMD FX 4130 3.8 Ghz cpu took 2-1/2 days to plot 600 GB.

No blocks yet, 2 days later.

ok thx

Thanks for the answer :-). Could you explain how i calculate the plotvalue? I had 50GB, that means for me 50*1024*1024Byte, but what it means in plots? I read somthing before, but i cuold'nt understand the the calculation...

As far as i know there is no difference. As long as they don't overlap everything is ok.

No difference, as long as its not 100's of plots. Just use them as they are.

they are difference between one big TB plot and one TB splitted in 10 smaller plots?

is possible merge plots? i made many plots due to prevent crash system..

The plot settings 0 51200 1000 2 are ok, but thats just 12GB. You need to generate a lot more plot files to get good deadlines. Ram? With linux you can start with 1GB, with windows & java you need 2GB+. The 2x2TB setup will get you way better results.
Slow transfer speeds like with USB2 can slightly reduce your block finding chances, but its still worth it.

Hi HDD miners ,

I have a lot of questions to the new art of mining.

First of all i downloadet the wallet and the POCminer.
I read the instruction for windows and ist seems ok.
I made an testsetup with my 60GB SSD (g:\)and and an old dualcore + 2GB of RAM.
I see now the Burstserver, which is connected to my localhost:8125 and the run_generate.bat is running and also the run.mine.bat.

What for JAVA memory values i should use? Its @the moment an 32 Bit Win7. How could i calculate the value? Something like that, "2048MB-XMX1-XMX2"?


g:\Mining\pocminer_v1>Java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate *ID* 0 51200 1000 2
Generating from nonce: 0

java -Xmx750m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner mine "http://127.0.0.1:8125"%*


I get an extreme bad value for the deadline...what does it mean?

What are the important things for mining burst? Could i mine with an old CPU and 2x2TB ore more? How much RAM is usefull? What is with the transferspeed? Could i use more USB Drives?
Is it better to use Linux? Questions over Questions...i hope someone hav answers for me...thanks al lot :-)

Thanks!

type in:
uname -a

x86_64 in there?


You'd be better off using each drive on its own. Try 11000000 nonces for each drive.

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

Would I want a single plot?

Can anyone explain how to install and use dcct's plot generator for Linux dummies?

I tried last night with the two commands in the OP using Ubuntu and only got an error like 'command "plot" not recognized'.  I'm at work now so I can't get the exact details but it sounds like I screwed something up...  I guess there's a chance I wasn't using 64 but Ubuntu - I just grabbed an old DVD I burned but the plot command should still do something, shouldn't it?

EDIT: Yes I was in the correct directory.  The ls command showed plot, the original .tgz I had extracted as well as all the other files that extracted and compiled with it.

You know what Burstcoin is all about?

Dev, would you mind putting a link to my article on Burst in the OP?
