can we stop and resume plot creation, or we need to do it manually by appending next nonce range?

If you really stop the process it would be the latter one. You have to do it manually although with PS you should be able to automate this.

thx, one more question :

does wallet need to be run during plot generation or mining ?
During plot creation not. But yes, after the plot creation you need to start burst\run.bat. Let is sync for a few seconds (sync your windows time) and keep it running.
The run run_mine.bat.

Use http://localhost:8125 and log in with your passphrase to check your balance (and other usefull info).

Definatly during mining!

This coin needs to be simplified. GUI?

I sorta like it the way it is, for now anyway. It limits the amount of people who can mine, so I can get more! lol. But yea, eventually, to gain popularity, there probably should be some sort of simplified installation method, and GUI miner.

I had my laptop close twice (thanks to my kids) and plotting resumed without me having to do anything after logging back in...I think as long as the java window and the command window were not physically closed, then it should resume. Although if a hard reboot is done than you might have to replot from whatever number it ended at (or whatever number you can deduce it ended at given the size of the plot file you have  generated upon restart).

Yea, this is an annoying issue, I just started 3 2TB plots on another computer, and it's going to take quite a while... if it gets shut off for any reason I will have to manually figure out where to restart the plotting...


There should be a way to check which nonce was finished last, so that we can start from the exact correct location when these sort of things happen.

None of them retrieved an Error. Now im gonna check, if its realy faster Smiley

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx3000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate *Your Adress* 277000 1600000 2000 4

Aaaaaaaaaah. Cryptosurfer wins again  Tongue

Whoop Whoop!

My polling is incredible slow... 80Gb in 24h. Someone experienced the same speed?
I think it depends on how much memory you use and how many threads; I run at 8000 at 2 threads, I could run at 4, but I don't want my computer to be loud.  At 2 threads I can get 6  GB per hour and at 4 I can get 12GB. So over 4 days, I've amassed 415 GB only running and 1 or 2 threads.

Thank you!
So im gonna do some experiments with these settings. Unfortunatly my run_generate task keeps crashing, if I use a value greater than 1000 for the -java Xmx option

Install 64 bit java. Then you can use more than 1000


Is already installed. And no older java versions were found.

are you using

java .........................

or

C:\windows\sysWOW64........\java

on your bat files?

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java ... running on a pc with 4GB Ram, Win 8.1 64bit in second partition of a 2Tb HDD

if your sure you have the 64 bit version installed change it back to the original "java"

WIth 4 GB of ram you can probably go 3000 or so

Try:
(Check if the file exists)

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx2000m ..............................

if this works try
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx3000m ..............................

It seems that it is working, thank you guys!

Just out of curiosity. Which alteration fixed it?

Is there an IRC chat for Burst? I'm unable to locate one.

Getting errors. Error reading file, a lot now? trickle - maybe 1-2 every half hour, now im getting error every 5 minutes.

This occurs every time a new block is generated and your miner switches to the new block.  Your plot file is re-read each time and if it is not complete the error is thrown.  This is purely informational and does not effect your mining.

Alright, I have come up with another question...


I have a system with 3 2TB drives in it. I am currently plotting them all, my question is this... Do I need to run multiple copies of the miner? Or will the one miner see all 3 drives? Right Now I have 3 copies running and it seems to work, but yea, I would like to know if I actually have to do that or not.

Thanks!

You will have to run a miner on each drive...and each will likely need it's own account number. I plotted x2 500 gig HDD's, with the same wallet number, but different plot #'s. I found that the exact same deadlines were being reproduced for both drives. I wonder if the plot generation is done based on the account number, and if that somehow predisposes the plot #'s to be something specific regardless of what drive they are created on?

I have also noticed that I found 2 blocks with my newest drive that was still plotting.and each night I restart my miners and usually find at least 1 block each night (and these are only 250 Gig HDD's, pretty neat, huh?)

I have actually re-plotted several drives with new accounts because I was having a lot of luck with brand new "still-plotting" drives hitting blocks their first night running. I have now settled on my 4 drives which are hitting paydirt regularly (as these seem to have some sort of lucky number combination that keeps coming up).

I also noticed that deadline time has nothing to do with how long you have had the drive or how big it is, My 15 Gig plot hit 2 blocks, and it was spitting out 200K deadlines all day then popped a 211 deadline. LOL

Thank you for the reply, I am going to fix it now. You think you actually need a new account for each drive, why not just different nonce numbers? hmm...
