nothing found on any.
still plotting the 500Gb's


I manually sync'd.


so;
- after your plots are done being created, the 'run_generate.bat' will close on its own, and you will have only the wallet and 'run_mine.bat' running?

- the burst wallet screen site idle for the most part?
My last activity in the 'wallet' window was 2 days ago.


I have 3 pc's running, nothing found yet....

did you sync your system time before mining? dev said it's very important
how many total space did you use?

it may sounds stupid..check carefully about the wallet your passSecret,make sure that you have lunch the correct wallet, that is the wallet's secret words are the words which used to create the plots's address..it these are all correct,, may be you are just unlucky...

Ok
Another dummy question.
1. I start generate plot file (in example  0  800000) but suddenly pc shut'd down. So i have plot file XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_0_800000_1000, which fullfilled only with 120gb. And of course i don't know at what nonce it was stopped
2. I start the second plots i.e XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_800000_1600000_1000, which was fully generated.
The question is would it be work correctly,too?
The plot that wasn't completely filled (№1) and the plot that was starting from non-existent numbers of nonce (№2)

Just go on with your next plot. There can be gaps between nonces with no effect on block finding chances, as long as they dont overlap.


Thanks.

hey is this wrong??

run_generate.bat 0 10000000 2000 4
run_generate.bat 10000000 10000000 2000 4
run_generate.bat 20000000 10000000 2000 4

(added another "0" to starting nonce)

If they overlap by just 1, thats 256kb waste of space. No big deal. Anyway, with the example above, they dont.

If i just copy my 100gb plots 5 times, instead of generating them. Should be that trick work correct?

Thats a waste of space. You'd end up getting the same results as with one 100gb plot.

then it will be considered as  only 100gb to the server, you must generate the 500g plots , or it will only do the duplicate work, 400g ==0g

My system took around 24 hours to create around 750-800gb.  Its an i7 4770k with one of the latest Seagate 1tb drives.  I am averaging around 1 block per day currently.  Also got some coins, .1 per 10k or .25 per 30k , I want to use escrow as well.

1. Right!
2. Right! But sync your Windows time!

You can mine while generating! You will see some reading error in the miner window but it will works!

- also maybe a bug in the wallet webpage
does anyone notice on the Blocks menu - 'All Blocks' and 'Mined By You' does not change\refresh when either buttons are clicked?
(or is my wallet stuck)

?

Solo mining is highly luck base compare to pool mining. Plus, there is no way to know the diff or whatever is like a diff for this coin. So, there is no way to calculate block per day.

Code:
/burst?requestType=getBlockchainStatus (GET) Thu Aug 14 2014 13:35:28 GMT+0200

{
"lastBlock": "1014125104951407132",
"lastBlockchainFeederHeight": 1201,
"time": 293728,
"lastBlockchainFeeder": "109.195.211.62",
"numberOfBlocks": 1201,
"isScanning": false,
"cumulativeDifficulty": "67567251495709",
"version": "1.0.0"
}


What about this 'cumulativeDifficulty' ... thought this is the diff?!


Increased by 5% within 21 blocks...

{
    "lastBlock": "16322078320396019945",
    "lastBlockchainFeederHeight": 1222,
    "time": 299736,
    "lastBlockchainFeeder": "54.167.111.103:8123",
    "numberOfBlocks": 1223,
    "isScanning": false,
    "cumulativeDifficulty": "70385126787201",
    "version": "1.0.0"
}

Raid5 won't help much since you even sacrifice one disk, if you set it up just for mining go jbod or raid0...

And yes, people are expanding and still building their systems, plot generation is awfully slow.

JBOD and RAID0 have no form of parity. JBOD can be recovered compared to RAID0, but RAID5 has parity and more performance than JBOD. One disk sacrifice is better than losing all the data possible, especially on RAID0. Originally I was going to do a RAID0/JBOD, but after thinking about it, I didn't want the chance of failure. Good thing about JBOD, you can mix and match hdd's, and use their full capacity. As with RAID, you ideally want to match identical hdd's.

Your point?

I wouldn't post that if i didnt know what i am talking about but thanks for the lesson...

Why should i care about parity for some mining plots i can even recreat exact copies of IF a drive fails...one more drive is imho worth more than the slight chance that ONE drive will fail within the next days / weeks.

You have your opinion and I have mine, I respect yours...

I guess I'll just wait and see how it goes with this small 500GB hdd before investing into a few 4TB drives.

For normal world use i would always go raid5 / raidZ but not for plot generation, no offense Smiley

I am using FreeNAS ZFS in my home server.

No offense taken, your free to speak and think. It's not like your trying to kill my family, insult my religion and/or anything major like that...lol

Just annoying to recreate plots, if that needs to be done.
