Talked to C-Cex,

Wallet is not open source, they won't list it.

Dev, open source the wallet.

its already open since day-0

You noobs sure want to dump quickly...  This is the accumulation stage, not the drop it like its hot stage  Tongue

but take his first :-)


@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.

after reading the miner source code, i think we dont need disk space at all
we can create opencl kernel of this code : https://github.com/BurstProject/pocminer/blob/master/src/pocminer/util/MiningPlot.java

nonce argument is any nonce u want, addr is ur account number
we can bruteforce any nonce within 240 seconds each block using GPU
and broadcast the best nonce that produce lowest deadline

assuming GPU can do shabal256 at 1 GH/s , that is equal to 240 Giga Nonce (240 secs blocktime) which is equal to 60 GB of disk space ( 1 nonce = 0.25MB )
and again, getting into 1 TB disk space performance, will require atleast 17 GPU (assuming 1 GH/s is accurate)
conclusion : if it is near 1 GH/s its cheaper to use harddrive than GPU

and loking at a glance of shabal256 it is really cheap in computation, i think we really need replace shabal with more memory intensive algo such as scrypt or something to make harddrive mining is far more efficient than GPU or future ASIC

this is my understanding after reading the miner code,
using disk space


and after using GPU, without disk

Is there a way to query balance and mining stats using CLI?
Linux Server doesn't have a GUI and Lynx doesn't seem to work with it.

Also I read that a different wallet address is needed for each external hard drive, is that true?
Or can the same wallet address be used?
What about copying this install to a laptop, and just adjusting the plot size for it, then running it, same wallet address etc.

maybe https://github.com/BurstProject/burstcoin/blob/master/src/java/nxt/http/APIServlet.java contains the commands you are looking for ...

you don't need to use differenet wallet addresses ... just ensure all you plot files are linked to your miner/plots folder ...

any alternative download links for the miner?

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....
I mine 50 hours with 600GB and don't have a result... Without a pool it's going to be a waste of time. I actually stop to mine at that moment.

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.

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

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 ...

haha, cause my machine is slow from generating 4 plots at same time and cut and paste was laggy. Smiley

3rd line is 1097082171119035817_204802_1004802_1024


just sayin'
thx for the help everyone  Smiley


I'm struggling with the maths lol, but I think I'm ok now.... plotting as advised:

1097082171119035817_0_204800_1024
1097082171119035817_204801_1004801_1024
1097082171119035817_204801_1004801_1024
1097082171119035817_4204803_7404803_1024

why do you have
Code:
1097082171119035817_204801_1004801_1024
twice ?

1097082171119035817_0_204800_1024
1097082171119035817_204800_1004800_1024
1097082171119035817_1209600_1004800_1024
1097082171119035817_2214400_1004800_1024
1097082171119035817_3219200_1004800_1024
...
thats how i would do it^^ just add the size e.g. 1004800 to the start number of the last etc.
