Ok so now my question is, lets say I'm running this as a 200 gb "plot"? Using the settings you posted dev, do I need to stop it from doing this plotting/noncing thing or can I leave it going? If I leave it going does it know when to start over or is it just creating a 200gb plots that can be mined over and over? I don't really understand this part. Lastly if I need to stop the mining/plotting do I have to change anything in the batch file when i start it back up again or does it know where to pick up from? If I have to change something then what needs to change and how do I know what to look at to continue it without overlapping.
Sorry so many questions this is pretty cool but odd as hell
The plots can be used basically forever once they are generated. When generating a plot file, you specify a range of numbers to use by giving it the start, and how many you want it to do. If you stop it, it won't pick back up, but you can just start on a new range, it won't make a difference.
Can anyone decipher this for me? It comes after every new block is found... want to make sure nothing is screwed up.

When the new block showed up, it tried to skim through your plots. It gets information about the plot from the filename, and it mentions an error if the plot doesn't match the filename's specs. This could be something simple like you are still generating the plot, or you cut it off midway, and generally won't make it difference, it's just saying that that plot isn't according to spec. Every couple seconds while skimming through the plot data, it will try to submit the best value it has found so far to the wallet. The wallet returns a deadline, which tells you that if no block has been found in that number of seconds, you will be eligable to announce the next block and collect the reward.
Any tricks on accessing web front end from a VPS?
There is a list of allowed users you can add your ip to in conf/nxt-default.properties
There is no reason to do that however as you can run the wallet locally, use the same passphrase, and see the same screen without transmitting your passphrase over the internet
