Want to buy 20 mil for 3 BTC

only 7 mil out there ... maybe make an offer for 20k - 350k ... didn't see a wallet with more right now.

has anybody tries to use symbolic link targetting plot file on different disk? does actually miner recognize this new plot file and use it ?

yes seams to work ... for win just use e.g.
Code:
mklink /h link target

i have different stagger value between my plot files, will it work too ?

Code:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 90664075264 Aug 12 23:29 xxxxxxxxxxxxx_0_400000_256
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ubuntu ubuntu          62 Aug 12 23:28 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_400000_3915776_4096 -> ..

* notice _256 and _4096

You just showed your private address. Better redo that part before you commit to building the plots

or hurry and delete the post so people don't see it.

Nice template for the future logo. Maybe lighting, flame effects or 1's/0's digits would be cool to add to it....lol

Found my First Block after 3h on my 30GB test plot. Smiley
Now I'm going to create more plots.

How long can i mine on one plot?

What size hdd did you do that on? What is your run generate bat command line conf?



My 36gb test plot its on my ssd with
-Xmx2000m 0 140625 1024 2
My next plot run on my HDD with 1TB free volume.
 -Xmx1500m  0 512000 1024 2

But i have no idea how long i can mine on the plots.

I have idea either how long you can mine on the plots or if they just get written over to mine again.

What's the -Xmx####m used for? What does a lower/higher value effect mining?

My miner runs with -Xmx750. I think the Miner is primarily dependent RAM?

The Xmx is heap size. Basically what it means is that the java VM that is created always allocates that much space. It doesn't necessarily use it but it reserves it.

I am only slightly familiar with heap so please correct me on the definition if I am wrong.

Oh ok, so that flag set the system ram to be allocate to JVM. So, kind of like caching for JVM just in case the app need more ram to run it.

Yes. Its slightly more complex with garbage collection and such but that is the basic explanation

I will be curious to see how difficulty plays out. If the coin hits an exchange at a good price I am sure a HDD arms race will start. (lol)

Unless another coin comes out using the same algorithm I would think most people will continue to mine this one. There isn't much cost associated with mining once you are set up.

Diff seems to be rising fast (based upon deadline numbers)!


It is rising fast.

Wish we could make these plots faster  Undecided

I have an idea about fast plot generation, will test it tomorrow when my 4TB drive comes in!


BTW: BURST-HLDE-XC5P-AYXL-7P49P found 2 blocks in a r0w (#644+#645)

plot generation is a interesting concept of this coin ... it grants a fair distribution at this point, cause nobody can instantly use e.g. 40tb for mining ... even with 12 threads running, it will take weeks to enable such a capacity for mining ... therefore everyone has the chance to grab a block. only way to increase the generation speed is to use more cpu-power ... and thats nice at this point.

and imagine all the other effects this plot generation may have ... if you take this serious and setup a few tb, you can not instantly switch to clone or something ... kind of user 'binding' ... who would leave or not mine if initial costs are payed :-)

so ... think twice ... would it be a good thing making these plots faster ... there is always a bigger fish :-)

Is my external IP actually supposed to show up in the 'peers' section of my wallet? Because if so, I'm doinitrong.

Can anyone shed some light on this? There's definitely some people in peers. Wondering if I should actually be showing up in there.
I suppose I'm currently mining as my miner is submitting shares, so I'm not sure whether I should actually care about this.

You don't need to be, but more peers is better for the network. If you want to make sure you show up for others, make sure you put your external ip in conf/nxt-default.properties, and forward port 8123 to yourself in your router if you have one.

I think we have so many questions, some are answered, some repeated and some unanswered.

we need to create some FAQ, maybe dev can put it on the first post, these are the questions i collected, please answer or improve it so later maybe dev can compile it into single FAQ and put it on front page

  • 1. What is Burst unique features ?
  • 2. What is Proof of Capacity?
  • 3. How do I increase my mining performance ?
  • 4. Where is the source code ?
  • 5. What is the difference between Nxt based wallet and regular bitcoin-qt wallet
  • 6. Which one is my public key?
  • 7. Which one is my private key, and how do I backup it?
  • 8. How do I know when i am mining correctly ?
  • 9. Can i use multiple hard drive for mining?
  • 10. what is plots, scoops and nonce-range?
  • 11. what kind of component that affect mining performance ?
  • 12. which one is better, single 1 TB drive or dual 500 GB drive ?
  • 13. can i just copy my generated plots, and use it somewhere else ?
  • 14. is there a mining pool ?
  • 15. why there is no logo ?
  • 16. Can the password be changed without restarting the plot creation?

This is a good idea, I'll fill this out a little later.

Yeah, difficulty is getting insane. Not that long ago I noticed I got a 686000 deadline on an almost full 2TB drive.

Logo submition for Burst:



This is amazing.

That's not bad. A HDD should definitely be included in the logo.
