Is this bad? 178738000 nonces overlap
178738000 * 256 kb = 45756928000 = 4575 GB wasted!

For everyone who wants to know if their plot ranges do overlap:
https://bchain.info/BURST/tools/overlap
Just copy filenames (or output of "ls -l" or "dir") into the box.
(let me know if you like it!)

pretty neat, showing me overlapping quite a bit, but the reason being is because I stopped the plotting then restarted where it left off with a new plot. So I was aware, and they aren't really overlapping, one just isn't fully finished. lol.

Just setup 12TB of space dedicated solely to BURST, 
now, I wonder how long this will take to plot 
now, I wonder how long this will take to plot this totally depends on the amount of cores you generate with
my 8 thread quad i7 systems need about 5 minutes for a 2gb block.
12 tb sums up to about 512 hours or almost 22 days.
i run mine on 5 systems but plan to fill up 60tb.
Yea, I know. It was a rhetorical question really. I assumed about a month. I am using only 1-2 cores of a highly overclocked i7. I too am hoping to up my TB to something like 100. Right now I'm closer to 20, but the plotting is taking a while! lol.

nice, found some overlappig in my first plot files ... but as long as i have free space i will not replot them ... or does that have any other negative aspect?!
Those overlapping nonces are just wasted space. 256kb times the number of nonces, no other negative aspect.

Wait, how is this work globaly verifiable by peers, how do you know my miner isn't modded to just relay random data until something stivks and I get a block ?
my simplified answer is, you broadcast ur account number and ur selected nonce to network, these two numbers can be verified into deadline value, so yes you can just broadcast any data (nonce and account number), but i doubt you want to broadcast random account number since you wont receive ur reward, and for nonce yes it is just random value, we select it which one has lowest deadline value
edit : i think nonce is not so random, because they are relevant scoop for each block (depend on previous block hash), i am not sure, we need to read the implementation, its just based on OP post
but if nonce isn't a globaly verifiable var you can just hash with your address and random var that match the nonce schema and spam the network until something sticks... I haven't looked at the source because java but I'd really like an answer to this because if it trully is a reliable hashing scheme it could be very big.
nonce is globally verifiable, u can reproduce 256KB of hash just by using account number and nonce so any peer can verify it.
this source code is the relevant part, you can verify it : https://github.com/BurstProject/pocminer/blob/master/src/pocminer/util/MiningPlot.java
and yes you can spam the network with your address and random var until something stick, put it simply (your address) + (any random var) result is always correct, but each of them will result to different deadline value, network will choose one which is the smallest deadline value of all broadcasted nonce submission

Wish I even had at least 2 or 3 blocks...lol.....Nearly going on 96 hours on 1.5TB with ZERO blocks....I'm going to give this til Sunday, if no blocks by then I'll give up mining until a pool is up....
hmm can't belive that, are you sure you login to wallet with passphrases.txt from mining folder?!
is your mining/plots folder 600GB?! sry, but we had all this before ... just want to be sure you did everything correct ...
Exactly as the direction dictate.

That's not necessarily true, eventually you will find something. Just gotta hold out. The first 2 days I was mining, I hit 6 blocks before my plotting had even finished, now I have been over a day with nothing, and much more space. So, it's all about luck and whatnot, just keep going and you'll hit something. But you know if you want to stop it's not going to hurt my feelings. Will give me more of a chance to hit blocks! lol.
Your such the comedian.
That didn't really help with you saying you hit 6 blocks in the first 2 days....I know it's luck, but damn me and few others are feeling left out until a pool is out. There must be something that gives a edge mining this that people are getting so many blocks.

it's really not going to cost you much at all to keep mining if you've finished plotting unless you need to space back from your hdd
It's nice that it's power efficient, but that's a moot point when your not getting nothing in return. I don't need any of the space, I have these drives as spares.
For use few getting nothing at the moment; It's like getting free gas to drive anywhere, but never getting to the destination(s) you want to get to.

@uray
did i get it right .. using another algorithm than shabal256 would protect the coin from beeing raped by kind of GUI/ASIC 'hack' ... cause it just woldn't be effective?! if i remember it right ... for first step of pool mining we have to recreate plots anyway?! maybe than ... that algorithm e.g. scrypt should be included there. sure something dev should think about.
