Topic: [ANN][BURST] Burst | Efficient HDD Mining | New 1.2.3 Fork block 92000 - page 1187. (Read 2170889 times)

just mine with what you have and even if the petabyte miners come along and drive up difficulty wouldn't that translate into higher price for the burst that you mined and held from the beginning. i think you're putting the cart before the horse with all this worrying.

thanks. good to know.

edit: also, i'm sure this was asked earlier but can't recall the answer but can one miner read multiple plot files for the same plotted address but diff nounce ranges?

still selling 60k+ burst. holla.

10 days, 3.1Tb (currently), FX6300, RAM 8Gb = 20 blocks
Perfectly!

btw, speed of generate: 800k nonces / 35885 seconds  (=195Gb)

Mined 8 blocks after 10 days. Not bad.

aha, he must have not found a  block until now, and he just want to complain, and i wish he will not find a coin forever , it is a shame if the coin flow in a pocket whose owner complain it all the day,

Are you just going to keep reposting this every couple of days?  

How long should it take to plot a single 3 TB plot on a 3-4 TB hard drive, using an i3-4130 cpu on 16 GB of RAM and Windows 7 64 bit?

Time for an observation on this coin and mining method, I'd like your input.

After a few days of reading on it, it seems that the only real mining equipment needed is some multi-TB hard drives, otherwise any old computer can eventually make the plot files and be good enough to mine on.

But therein lies a problem.  Cost of entry is low.  It won't be long before someone with huge storage capacity jacks the difficulty into the stratosphere.

You've seen what happened when ASICs came out for Bitcoin, and then for Scrypt coins.  Difficulty went sky high, everyone got less, and it takes a ton of money to even be a low level player.

So how long will it be before 100 TB worth of hard drives gets you one block per week?  Of an unknown, untested, unproven alt coin that could price crash at any time?

At least with BTC ASICs, their high price slowed the addition of them a bit.  Any jackhole here can call up Tiger Direct and order 100 4 TB drives at any time, and then we could see a run on large hard drives like what happened with GPUs last winter.

So part of me wants to get in on it, and part of me wants to say the hell with it, it's not worth the effort to be playing catch up and adding TBs of storage every few weeks.

And hard drives do not have good resale value.

And we are all solo mining now!  How long before Petabyte pools start on this coin?

What say you?

Well I suppose I could get some more hdd space. If not for this but for some place to save my videos, later on.

You will only get a share of a block once the pool finds one. I think the message "No valid shares...." is you haven't submitted a share 20,000 or lower on the deadline; you might want to put at least a 1TB or more towards the pool, ideally 2TB.

Yeah, assuming it is able to read your plots fine and you generated them for the correct address, this error simply means you didn't have any shares under the current (20k) difficulty/deadline.

I like the new pool, only thing is, i've been mining on a 500gb just for this, brand new hdd for almost 7 days now. No blocks

When I read the pool was out, so I went on ahead deleted the solo plots. and generated new plots using the new id from the pool that was made for me.
It is almost done generating, and I've been running the new mine bat the whole time and all I get is this.

I want to get bigger hdds, but I want to wait to make sure I get at least one block first.

Don't use it more than one PC, because they will warn you that you are using it for non-personal usage. This happened to me when I was running 3 rigs with it.


It will just start the plot over from the beginning.

The pool miner is stuck on "No valid shares to submit to pool".
Any ideas?

my pc rebooted on me while plotting was only half way through. is it safe to launch it again and it auto resumes from where it last finished? anyone tried this or had this happened? don't want to throw away the effort if it can be reused.

I think the dev mentioned this very early on that you just pay attention to your total balance. everything else is left over from the POS functionality that was removed from this coin. it just needs to be cleaned up later on to remove the confusion.

if you're running windows based pcs take a look at teamviewer for remote access to your machines. it's free, simple and works like a charm.

Ahh very true, thanks for the suggestion! Went back and edited my post.

You can try the pool out. Solo mining is pretty annoying at times. Some times you get on a streak, then all of a sudden days upon days of nothing. At least with a pool, you can minimize the luck factor a bit.
