One of the beautiful things about having this on an external drive, is that i can bring this puppy to work with me and hook it up to whatever terminal I am near and run it from there...LOL  Grin Genius!!!

Am I also correct to assume that you could make image copies of the HDD that you set this up on and have them mine as well off of several machines?

By the way...generating the plots takes FOREVER! lol

Every time I try to open the batch file it closes right away. I have tried to use C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java as was suggested but it doesn't work. I have java 7 installed and updated. I've tried on C and D drives and I think I would need to have it on the D drive that I want to use, but I'm not sure about that. My sdd C drive is nearly full so am I correct in thinking I need to launch the program from the D drive? thanks if you can get me going would be appreciated
Open the bat file in Text Editor, add the new line:
Code:
pause
save, execute the bat file and see output.

The system cannot find the path specified
I copied Java into the D drive but it is not being recognized. how do I make it work? thanks.
The system cannot find java.exe.
You should find the java.exe (for example C:\Program Files\Java\JRE7\bin\java.exe)
and edit the bat file replacing "java" to full path.

no, you just started to allocate hdd space for mining ...
now start the wallet server with 'run.bat/sh' (from wallet dir) and after that execute 'run_mine.bat/sh' (from miner dir)
You mean  we need run both  run_generate.bat and run_mine.bat two .bat files at the same time,,, is that right???

Does that deadline mean I found a block?

No, it means the deadline until your hash is claimed as the next block, but you have to be quick, first come first serve biases.

How do you know when you find a block?

In the web front end you will see two boxes on the dashboard page, one states "Account Balance" the other is "Mined Balance", as long as they are greater than 0 pretty much.

Cheers. How can you see the front end web from a VPS?

I think you do it this way, however im not to sure with the nxt wallet as this is the first time ive used it, but :

Find this file : burst_1.0.0/conf/nxt-default.properties

then scroll to the bottom and find these settings :

#### OLD NRS USER INTERFACE ####
[...]
# Hosts from which to allow NRS user interface requests, if enabled.
nxt.allowedUserHosts=127.0.0.1; localhost; [0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1]; new_external_ip_here;   # So grab your ip from ipchicken or which ever way, place it here so the server allows the connection.
[...]

# Host interface for NRS user interface server, default localhost only.
# Set to 0.0.0.0 to allow the UI to be accessed on all network interfaces.
nxt.uiServerHost=127.0.0.1 // Your servers external ip.


You could also do it via making a local proxy (then deny all ips which are not your trusted ones from connecting) using nginx.

However again, and I stress, this might be incorrect.

got nr.12  Grin

i was a little confused about how it all plays together ... but following worked for me ...

miner:
edit passphrases.txt (enter secure pass in first row)
execute run_dump_address.bat
generate plots with id from addresses.txt - How to do it?

wallet:
start server with run.bat in wallet folder

miner:
execute run_mine.bat in miner folder

wallet:
open wallet via link/url
login with your pass from passphrases.txt

wait for blocks :-)

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8286556

... Copy the long number generated after your password from address.txt
... run run_generate.bat like this "run_generate.bat 8191
The number of plots should be a multiple of 8191. ...

An alternate way is in the client files, open conf/logging-default.properties, and change nxt.level = INFO to FINE.
The log file created in the wallet folder will log "generating block with address" or something like that when the client tries to announce a block.

so ./run_generate.sh or ./run_mine.sh?
you need to generate plots to mine with, so initially both of them, then when the hdd is full you'll only need ./run_mine

I'm guess our plot file size is too small now.

How big is your PLOT file ?

WTF guys been mining for about 20min and still haven't found any block??

It's 7GB and everything is working fine,miner,wallet with correct address added into nxt-default.properties file,run_generate with that same address,I don't know whats wrong!
Many blocks where found except me,my ID is BURST-X5JH-TJKJ-DVGC-5T2V8 can someone see me there?

My plot file will accumulating to 2 TB (now 13 GB) with this generate addressnumber 0 9000000 500 2.

Will I have better chance to find some block ?

Also I keep on getting error reading file every 4 minutes, does that affect finding a block ?

And remember you'll be solo mining, so you're not going to see a steady dribble of coins like you would from a pool. It's either the whole block or nothing.

So for instance would 1Tb be the equivalent of double the speed of 500Gb?

Your HDD space is like your hashrate, so as much as you're willing to use.

Exactly.

Will the miner be able to use USB connected HDD?

USB3 ones are fine, I've tried them on the testnet. I'm guessing USB2 might not have a high enough transfer speed, but I haven't testing one.
dev , I am using USB3.0  disk,,, Is that ok just connecting the USB3.0 disk to the comupter???  will the usb devices automaticlly be used???
Just put the miner folder on the external hdd and run it from there. The miner always writes in the plots folder in its own directory.

Every time I try to open the batch file it closes right away. I have tried to use C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java as was suggested but it doesn't work. I have java 7 installed and updated.

Try running the bat file from a command prompt to see what the error is. Also, which bat file, since the dumpaddr one is just supposed to disappear.

You need to run the mine file also. The generator is for making plots which are used to mine.

No you are not mining yet, you are just generating plots for mining.  To start mining you need to run the wallet and the run_mine.bat
