If i have 4*2TB HDD... what best, raid massive or use same hdd?

Trying now.
try -Xmx1500m
2TB and java -Xmx750m .
@BurstBurst:
What is plot file size and your available RAM and your run_mine command ?

try -Xmx1500m
i had the same settings as u burstburst. i've upped the allowance to 1024m and so far so good. the pc i'm running it on is a win 8.1 with 4bg of ram and running java 1.7.0_60-b19
mine stopped again. i've upped it again to 1350m. tried 1536m but my system couldn't spare that extra due to other mining software running on this machine. if that doesn't work i'm going to try a diff java version next.

I'm changed my setting AND it is working well now. Will Let's it run 24 hours to see any issue later.

Poloniex has NXT, maybe it's not difficult to add the BURST.
You can send the "new coin request": https://poloniex.com/coinRequest

Most exchanges won't accept a coin without a mining pool. Usually, they want a block explorer and mining pool at least.

Is anyone also getting the error "Error reading file: ......" when using mklink to another drive ?
my experience is that only mklink /h (hardlink) would work, but u can not use that on differnt drives ... (i know i have posted that before, cause i thought it would work) so on windows i found no other solution than running one miner instance on every drive! that will work! every drive will commit its own found deadlines for the same address!
@burstcoin: you are AWESOME!
@Wulfcastle: Thx for all that work, its so GOOD looking :-)
bouth of you should publish a burst address, so that we can donate!
no, softlink can still work, i have tried, it can read the contents, and hardlink has the problem of not link the different filesystem

Now since the asset exchange the coin is being priced on 10k (per block) basic because their is no pool. With no real exchange or pool (so far) the price will be based off this and no real chance for the market cap to increase since its not readily available. In other words, very hard to mine and worth very little.....

Hey burstcoin, question for you. If I wanted to CPU mine Burst, I understand that I'm limited in speed by the rate I can generate plots, so it's not viable. However, would it be possible to make a mining program that only generated the relevant scoop of each nonce for the current block therefore being 4096x faster?
No. After the data has reached the full size, the whole buffer is hashed, and the resulting hash is xored with the buffer to finish the plot. So, in order to figure out a scoop you need the pre-xor value of each scoop higher than it, and the hash of all the pre-xor scoops.

Why are people using 800000 to generate a 200 GB plot? Shouldn't it be 819200 (4096 X 200) to generate a true 200 GB worth of plot nonces? If there's 4096 scoops per bigger thing, wouldn't everything be based off of 4096 instead of 4000?
I saw were someone mentioned Windows 8 having the ability to put multiple hard drives together into one logical drive. Can Windows 7 do this, and is there a name used for the proceedure in Windows?
And about pricing this coin for sale - I think since it isn't on any exchange, it should have a set price. X BURST = X BTC, period.

Ideally multiples of 4096 would be best because no wasted data or overlapping.
Yes you can either do a RAID or a JBOD, a JBOD is the simplest to setup. Also, you can use a GPT to surpass 2TB limitation. I've tried 3 plots files on 3 500GB drives, which resulted in 0 blocks for 4 days of mining. But got 4 blocks when I made a JBOD(Spanning Volume), one 1400GB plot. I got those 4 blocks in the past 24 hours. Maybe just coincidence or maybe the algo runs better on bigger size plots.

Okay, I am ready to apologize for my earlier assholiness in this topic. But dammit, this coin and miner should have been released with FAR better instructions and details and documentation.
Now that my first miner seems to be working (20 GB partition on a laptop drive while I am on vacation), I am calmer now.
Let's move on. I have serious questions.

If I get into this coin, I'd like to purchase a few multi-TB drives and make one huge plot for simplicity. I'm better off not complicating things further than they need to be.

Hey burstcoin, what's the maximum allowance size for a single plot? Or is that only limit to the file system and format?

Me and couple other were frustrated too before, so no worries.

Nope, just give it a few minutes to connect. August 18, 2014, 07:47:42 PM
