Hey dev,
Just curious, once you have generated your plots, If you want to set up a new machine can you just copy the plots over to it, or will that result in both machines "duplicating" their mining efforts? I effectively want to set up one in a VM, and then copy that VM image to another machine so that they are both mining...
That won't work. They'll just be doing the same things.
I want to ask an stupid question,,,if the disk of my pc is 500G ,and anthor moveable hdd is 1T, both of these needs create plots? and both of these needs to run wallet and miner? thanks!
You only need to run wallet once. You can even run wallet once for multiple computers if you change the conf file around. You fill them both with plots if you want to run miners on each of them.
What are the different type of balances ?
Unconfirmed Balance: 0 BURST
Guaranteed Balance: 0 BURST
Effective Balance: 0 BURST
That seems to be a carry-over from NXT. Unconfirmed means the transaction was just sent and not included in a block yet. I would guess guarenteed means it has some comfirmations. Effective balance is something nxt used in its proof of stake system. Where are you seeing that?
After the plots making it's done, if I want to increase some more GB what I've to do?!
simply increase plot numbers, so if you started with
"run_generate ACC_ID 1 2001 1000 1",
then do " run_generate ACC_ID 2002 4002 1000 1"
the generator will make a new plot file in the plot folder, the miner will just read both files.
starting_nonce, number_of_nonces, number_of_plots_to_stagger_together, threads.
1st run : ...1 2001 1000 1 -> 2nd run :...2002 4002 1000 1
Should be : ^
1st run : ...1 2001 1000 1 -> 2nd run :...2002 2001 1000 1
^
Because it is the amount to be created and not the last one written.
Or am I wrong about this ?
You are correct, it is the amount to be written.
