Yes, basically. 800000 generated nonces is about 200gb, since they're 256kb a piece. You can make multiple plots by upping the numbers in run_generate, thereby increasing your used space in total, or you can choose to make one giant plot by calculating how many space you're willing to use and how much nonces you'll need to fill said space, and then inputting those numbers in run_generate.

So, once my test 800000 is finished generating, I can start another one with a larger number, and that won't affect the one that I already started? Or will I have to start it at a number above 800000 in order for it to not ruin what I have already generated?

I guess basically all I need to know, is how to add more hard drive space to the mining... or whatever you would call it...

Do I start over with 800001, or do I make a new one with 64000000 or something else larger?

Your last nonce generated +1 should be the starting point you put in run_generate, so if your last nonce is 800000 you input 800001. You just keep upping the number to generate more nonces (and plots). You can also generate a huge plot at the same time by replacing 800000 by, say, 8000000 (8m). This would use about 2TB. (Unless there's a size limitation I'm unaware of!)

cpu and ram efect in to the mining performance or only hard space?

They should only be utilized while scanning during mining, there will not be much resource used 90% of the time (once your generation process is done).

So, in order to use more HD space, you just have to make another run_generate.bat and run that? You can up the 800000 to something higher in order to use more space, this is correct, right? Just want to make sure I know what I am doing. I have 12+ TB I can use, so I would like to use a lot of it. Thank you in advance for answers  Tongue

You need to pick up from where you left off. If I remember correctly the filename will tell you the nonce that you stopped at.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I am not quite sure what you mean... right now I started my test with the default of 800000, it's currently generating from nonce 37500, once this is complete, I assume it will be at 800000... at that time, can I just start another run_generate, or do I have to do something to add to the one that is already done?

My overall goal here is to use 5-10 TB of my hdd space on this server, thank you for the assistance!

The example that dev gives will create 200GB. Just multiply to the amount that you want to create.


You can then replace the starting nonce in run_generate with 800001, to start from there. If you just restart it, it'll start at 37500 again and basically wipe all your generated data.

So, when this one is finished, I start another with 800001 to start from there, how do I up the amount of space it uses? I want to make it use more.

my plots folder has 3 files: 8211898084538024252_0_1600000_2000   , 8211898084538024252_1600001_3200000_2000 ,  8211898084538024252_4800001_1600000_2000

Just because I want to expand the plots space , so I generated these 3 files for 3 times, is this ok ??  why the error reading always refer to the last file :8211898084538024252_4800001_1600000_2000  ??

The last file is still in generation i guess? Multiple files are fine though, np.

i have  question when my run_generate.bat created plot (simple plottoendwith=400000 for 100 gb hard drive)  4 hours past my plot created and auto close when done to writing from nonce 400000.i want restart my pc and mining after restart  now again i created plot for mining or not can i use my last plot in my hard drive?
You don't have to recreate a plot, it is valid for all eternity, you only need to create more plots if you got spare space and want more "hashrate" you have to start with your ending nounce to make a usefull new one - when you rerun run_generate you basicly deleted your previously created one and started from scratch.

simple i have 2Tb hard drive better i created one 2TB plot in my hard drive or 4  500gb plot ?

Doesn't matter, no difference in mining at all.
thank you guys , ok will be better

can i run_generate.bat and run_mine.bat at the same time or better first run_generate.bat when done run_mine.bat?


You can run both at the same time, it will mine each block based on the number of plots that you've generated at that point in time.

Are there any dummy step by step instructions on mining for us lazy and simple people?  Tongue

Ok, here is sugested logo made by me.



this icon is not burst! every one who saw this icon will misunderstood this as it aim at  breaking your hdd! mining it is just for breaking your hdd! who else dare to mine it ?


i have a suggestion,  you can add a dollar signal or bitcoin or something like, in the middle of the icon. what ever, it can indicate that you can make great use of your unused hdds, unused hdd can still make money! unused hdd before can now be a good resources!
