Problem is the I have only 6 ~ hrs to set up Sad

Do you mean that your plotted files will be deleted after 6 hours?

Yes, they will shutdown, and all files will be deleted forever. I need to create my own image in 6hrs.

Lets break this down.

You have access to 1000+ Amazon C3 instances, each one having these specs
32vCPU   60GB RAM   2 x 320 GB SSD

But you only have this massive farm 6hrs each day.

That's roughly 640TB worth of mining power coming on for 6hrs each day.

Your efforts are nothing but bad for the Burst Network.  You want to move 640TB worth of data within 6rs.... 640TB in  6hrs  Cheesy.  1000+ instances each one have 2x 320GB SSD drives.  That's 640TB  you need to store the plots some place and then upload them to your instances each day.

I'm pretty sure this is not possible, and how does someone get access to that type of computing power for 6hrs each day.  You could make this work on a smaller scale, but I have no desire to see large scale miners only pop on for 6hrs each day.  Good-luck

I did something similar once. I used a script file to setup the entire system. When I started a new instance, then I only uploaded the right script file and let it run.

The trick is to get all setup correct.

As heard before, you need to have all plotfiles non-overlapping, that is one parameter you change for each instance, all other remain exactly the same.
Remember, that you can mine already as soon the plotfile has been started to exist. It throws you an error, which you can ignore, basically saying that the plot file did not contain as much as expected.

You can go even a step further and setup one system, that starts all other systems with EXPECT, a tool, that was used to maintain thousands of routers.

Good luck!

Oh, don't forget to use my pool for that - MiningHere.com:8001

If you need help, ... I am a click away ;-)

I have daily 1000+ instances (all are c3.8xlarge) Can I create plots 16tb for each instance and copy the AMI image and start him in other 999 instances? The problem is I have 6hrs to make that and all instances will turn off after 6 hrs of work. And tomorrow I need do it again.
Can I use generated plots in other instances? Or they must be unique?

You need diferent plot files for each instance, because if you use the same plot file you are calculating always the same key-nonce pair.

You can make simple scripts for each instance and start ploting quite small files (10-50 gb) and thus use them to mine, eachtime miner read the folder with yours plot files it will use the files contained on it.

With this type of instance, you will plot about 100K nonces minute (13Gb/minute), that is 786Gb/hour.

After 5 hours you will be mining with 3,5Tb at each instance, that's is 3,5Pb (20% of the current size of the network), With some maths, assumed you can plot 750Gb/hour and 15Pb the network size, you would get 10,8 blocks a day with your 6 hour window of use of the 1000 c3.8xlarge instances.

Of course, this is teorical, if you want to deploy you would get a lot of problems (I would help you, if you want)

You can't use the same plot for mining, you will mine like one instance. But you can try to do some plotting and save it, and connect when the instances are up! The plots are uniqe because the "start nonce" !

First plot:
 start nonce 0
 total nonces  4398046511104 (16 TB i think)

Second plot:
start nonce 4398046511105 (one nonce more that before Smiley )
total nonces 4398046511104

Third plot:
start nonce 8796093022210
total nonces 4398046511104

[...]


You can't connect with all these instances at the same time and send a script?

Edit: wow, 1000 instances .... 16 tb each... 16.000 TB lol with that i can do wonders Smiley

As I told you, the plots must be unique and cannot be overlapped. And furthermore, you have to optimize it. You need some to spend some times to perform such task.

burst.ninja is vastly superior to any and all existing pools (that I have used) on all levels.

Nice new domain.
Much faster/leaner js ui.
Cleaner layout.
Faster communication

Much love to burstcoin, Catbref, Crowetic holding it down and making one of the most innovative cryptos easier to use, mine and adopt by the masses.
I love crowetic too,but about two weeks I get oft-"unable to commit nounce to burst.ninja:8124... bad request>..... Angry

The 400 Bad Request responses have useful messages attached to them. They're not server-side faults but notices from the pool about your nonce submission. For example:
Code:
curl -v --url 'http://5.153.225.55:8124/burst?requestType=submitNonce&accountId=5085825464960632136&nonce=12321' ; echo

Is there anyway to view what the deadline was that won a block?

Burst.ninja displays it on its stats page. How the info is extracted though I am not sure. Catbref can answer that for sure
The info comes from the blockchain with a standard API request:

In there you can see "generator", "nonce", "baseTarget" and "snoopNum" - these are used to calculate deadlines in the same way your miner does.

What the hell is wrong with burst.ninja? It's been 24 hours now and no payout and yes i know payout minimum is higher but i got 4TB("~capacity" shows 1,5 tb whatever that means) mining with no payout for far too long. On other pools i got 500-1k burst per day so there should have been a payout already. Because of the hiccups i switched pool for a while and my earnings where 5 times higher, now i come back hoping for some improvement and i get nothing. This is fucking suspicious. If i ever get a payout i will be gone for sure.

Sorry, Mergesort, this was my fault. I was on path to implement bundled payments as fees for sending out small rewards wasn't economically viable. I batched up the payment but then another more pressing issue cropped up which was causing pool instability. Now that the pool is more stable the LONG OVERDUE deferred payments have all been sent.

Just a FYI, my account 'Bensam123' has been compromised. If you receive any sort of weird messages (outside the normal paranoia), they aren't from me. I'm currently working with a admin to get it restored.

I founded a new crowdfunding project thinking in the future, just for our future fun.

It´s the Ferrari Sharing project; when BURST reached 1$ value, a Ferrari will be buy and shared for everyone who pledge for this crowdfunded project.

As soon as one of our genious developers launch the ATPoll, we will use it for decide the model and the colour of the Ferrari.

I've got the same issue with numeric ip 192.198.95.54:8124

Should I be using dev 1 miner?


No idea - I use Blago's miner on windows.

With DCCT on  burst.ninja or any of Urays code pools

you can either edit the .sh file or put this into a command window that is open to the directory that contains the miner.

./mine_pool_all burst.ninja:8124 /path1/ /path /path3 ....
I'm lazy and just have this txt pasted into a txt document.  I browse to the miner folder on my Linux box, right click, open command line here... paste the text.. and start mining/.  I check the pool GUI a few times a day, but other than that I just ignore the box.  I'm hoping to leave it alone and get 30 days up-time, I'm at 7 right now Smiley

My exact string.  Each ending path contains my plot files.
DCCTs code has no way of adjusting minimum submitted deadline for Uray pools (submit all) without adding an IF statement and recompiling.  DCCT does have a best share option, but I do not think the pool communication is formatted for Uray and Cat style pools, anyways, I am getting off topic.

*You can also use Uray's r4 code, which offers a config file for adjusting pool locations and other variables.

Do something like this, and it will work.
Your screen shutting off has no affect on your mining ability.
./mine_pool_all burst.ninja:8124 /media/merick/4tbseaz9/1 /media/merick/red2/ /media/merick/red3 /media/merick/red4 /media/merick/2TBCUDA/1

*these are the commands that the .sh file is running
