So, I am having a random issue and I am not sure why...

Every once in a while on my server machine, one of the instances that is on my G drive (miner instance) crashes out. Just closes. I don't know why it is doing this. It is only on that one drive, the other miner on the other drive is fine, and the miner on the mapped drive on the same server, mapped to my desktop is fine too. It's only the G drive miner, and randomly...


Any Ideas or suggestions on how to get it to stop? Thanks!

I think my question got overlooked, can anyone help me out with this? Thanks!

Is it just the miner that stops or is it a plot generation too?

Try adding the word pause on a line after everything else on your bat file

java -Xmxblah blah blah blah
pause

When it dies it will pause the command prompt and ask you to press a button to shut down. This way you can see what the error is that is killing the process.

Once you get that it is much easier to help diagnose the problem.

Edit:

I am assuming your on windows.

try to give the miner some more memory e.g. -Xmx2g or even -Xmx4g ... if that does not help
start with java > log.txt -Xmx2g ... so that you can post the log.txt content here ... at the moment we can only guess ...

Hi guys!Just came back from job and seen,what I found my first block 2382. Cheesy
I have found this block with only 200gb plot file.So,I think,all new miners have  a lot of chances to get their blocks.
I would like to ask comunity...I have 2 TB HDD and I made only one plot file,whitck starts from 1,and ends on 800000(200gb)
Some people says,what I need to make next run_generate.bat file 1600000 800000,and some members tell me,what I need to make 800000 1600000 file for next 200 gb section....May be it is better,to make one 6800000 section,or so...
What can you say?


The first number after the address is the starting nonce, the 2nd number is the amount of nonces to generate. So:

run_generate.bat YOURADDRESSNUMBER 800000 800000 8191 1
Would start at nonce 800000 and go for 800000 nonces, or another 200GB that, if done as one file, would lay contiguous to your above plot. 8191 and 1 of course can be changed at-will.

The part that matters most is the first number:

first 200gb plot
1   800000

second 200gb plot

800001  800000

that is the starting nonce number that is keyed to your passphrase. They can be whatever you want but make sure they don't overlap (duplicates area waste of space)


You can make a giant one but it doesn't do anything extra or more efficiently than making multiple plots. I personally am making 100GB and 200GB on 3 different machines and moving them.

The problem with a giant plot is that it will take a LONG time to generate and it is likely that your computer will get turned off or something will happen before it completes which leaves you with an unfinished and improperly named plot. My advice is to stick with 200GB or less per plot.

Also I generate mine like this:

0  800000          1st
800000 800000   2nd
1600000 800000 3rd
2400000 800000 4th

I like clean organized sets. Hope this helps.

i'm not able to modify code for winzoz and recompile it.
i hope you update code for next release!

thank you again luxe!

you could just notify dev, that harden code at this point would make sense ... i don't even have git skills now or know how to use github ... have to figure that out first :-)

luxe but you're not part of the development team?

no, i just love this coin ... and try to help ...

good job luxe!!! i think you have the capacity :-)

Luxe just a simple request.
when the disk is full, run_generate program delete plots folder and restart.
so i lost 500gb of plot!!!
can you release an update like this...
DISK FULL --> run_generate stop itself without delete plot folder!!!

thanks!!!!

hmm .. just looked at the source:
https://github.com/BurstProject/pocminer/blob/master/src/pocminer/GenerateSupr.java
on the first look it seams that just following is needed, surrounding/replacing line 36 to close the output stream on exception ... but i don't have the time to test it out right now ... sry.
Code:
try{

 out.write(outbuffer);
}catch(Exception e){
 out.close();
 getContext().system().shutdown();
}

How do I know that the id file I generated in my miner program is tied to my wallet account?  I haven't seen anything that solidly states it is.  When I open the localhost:8125 now, it opens to the correct BURST account number, but if I find a block how do I know I got it?  How do I even tell if I have found a block?

CGminer and SGminer had the Difficulty / Best Share numbers so that made it easy to tell.

if you login into web wallet localhost:8125 and click on NRS a pop up with all data appear...
difficulty information too.

Difficulty is currently 329.7 TRILLION.  Is this supposed to encourage me to mine?

No, obviously! In fact i'm asking myself why you are still here.. Don't you think that maybe your words aren't the best for someone that is helping you? People like you, spreading shit everywhere, must be ignored. The how-to is in the first page, lot of us was able to set up everything without any trouble, wallet is working, miner too and every 4 minutes someone find a block, so read, study, try, test and stop mucking up this thread.

+1 - Go away troll.  You are no longer welcome.

BURST for sale... If you want to avoid the NXT exchange, and complete a basic BTC for BURST exchange PM me...

I have 300K + Available.

30K lots, 50K lots, 100K lots, and even 300K lots if needed. PM me, Thanx!

Can use escrow, or break it up into smaller tarnsactions and straight trade. Let me know.

***I know people had a hard enough time setting up the BURST client. And while I personally use NXT and am familiar with the AE, some people might not be and don't want to go through the conversion to NXT, and then converting NXT to BTC, and then withdrawing BTC and incurring fees, with exchange rates fluctuating, etc...Then I have immediate BURST available***
