Is it just me or is the wallet download not working? OP: Can you please check the link for the wallet download? Thanks!

Seems ok to me, but you can grab it off the github link also.

A config file with paths to look into would be nice so you could run one miner over multiple drives... xD
Was already planning on doing that.

That would be super convenient....lol

Also, a way to speed up the plot creation via gpu or some kind of optimization....

Every time I got a block ,I found the deadline value is vey small ,have just found  a block with a deadline:422,  nomally it's value would be larger than 5000,   what's the meanning of deadline value ??

If, within seconds, no one else has found a block, you will find the next block.

Another way to think about it is that for each block, its a competition between miners for the deadline value. The lowest deadline wins the block.
thanks , I am trying to understand it ,, thanks

Are you sure it is 1400 blocks to mature a block ? How come there are already transaction of BURST sent ?

WTB BURST
Please PM me your price per 1000 BURST.

The mature time is 1400 blocks, we are around 770...just sayin.

The block maturing is referring to the amount of blocks that coins had to sit before they could be using in proof of stake in the original nxt code. I didn't realize it displayed that until after release, so the display wasn't removed. The coins can be spent just fine.

So, there's no maturity for the coin, just instantly on the network to send/receive?

Hey dev, you haven't answered my question about putting drives in arrays to increase drive capacity via Raid 0 to make larger plots. Would it increase the mining speed at all? How do you link a single wallet to multiple drives?
Raid 0 isn't a good idea. The total size of all your plot files is what matters, so it doesn't matter how they're split, so there's no advantage. However, there is a major disadvantage to raid0, since if you were to have a hdd fail, you lose all the plots instead of one drive's worth

Regardling linking, on linux I would assume you could do it with the ln command. On windows I'm not sure.

I understand the risk of RAID 0 without parity, might try it to see how it runs. Is it best to make multiple plots on a single drive or just one large one? Is there an nominal/ideal plot size to run?

I'm not sure about the Raid 0 drive issue, so I can't help with that.

To mine for the same wallet using multiple drives, you have to run multiple instances of the miner bat file (run_mine.bat), 1 for each drive. The miners will always mine plots in the same directory as itself, so be sure to start the batch file from those multiple directories.

Any chance for a mining pool?
It's being worked on right now. See this post https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8302521 for more information on the situation.

now, I am miing with my  run_mine.bat file  set  like :  java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner mine "http://127.0.0.1:8125"%* 
what's the difference of the different value of  Xmx      , Is the value bigger the better or somthing else??
xmx sets how much memory the jvm is allowed to use. Since there is so much data cycling through the miner, it has a tendency to use every bit it is allowed to even if there is no benefit, so if it is set too high you'll just be wasting ram, however if it is too low, it could have trouble reading in data.
my computer has a RAM DDR3  8G,,    is Xmx 1000m ok , or bigger value is better?
1000 is fine. There shouldn't be a need to set it higher unless you're mining on very fast storage(ssds, or large raid0 setups), and your cpu is having trouble keeping up with the reads.

What happen to our existing SOLO Plot file, Wasted? Can it be reuse on the pool itself ?

The pool situation:

I understand pools are needed, as it is getting very difficult to solo mine. As plots are specific to the account address the coins will go to, this poses a bit of a problem. Pool support will be released in 2 steps:

1. A pool server program will be created that supplies users each a unique address to generate plots for. The user's plots for mining with that pool will only be usable for that pool. This will be released and a pool will be set up hopefully within a few days. It will be very simplistic to try to get it released as soon as possible.

2. Later on, a new client will be released to update the protocol. A user will then be able to announce to the network an address where their mined coins will go to instead of their own. This will allow pool miners to generate plots for themselves, and mine at any pool by setting their mining output address to the pool they want to use.

You can continue to solo mine with it while generating for a pool. When part 2 of the pool plan is done, solo plot files will be usable on pools. It's your choice whether you want to do split solo/pool, or start replacing solos when the drive is full.
got it ,thank you very much

Oh I screwed up and used the wrong passphrase on wallet.  I've found 2 blocks with 20,000  coins.  sweet   Actually it looks like 4 blocks, 20k unconfirmed too.
