Can I use my atom cpu + 2GB to mine some plotted TB SATA hdds?

Thanks

Don't see why not, atom is a pretty regular x86 cpu, should work with all the miners without tweaks.

You probably will need some optimizations to your setup to achieve decent read times, depending on total size of your plots.
Additionally with 2gb of ram I think it would be more prudent to set it all up on linux

Thanks, I was worried if cpu speed if somehow a big factor in hash speed and I guess the same with ram?

Just planning to use my windows home server for burst mining.


I cannot commit in advance to saying you won't run into issues. However, I encourage you to try in setting it up. Should you run into any snags, that's what this forum and burstforum.com are for Smiley

So far it's running just fine for a day now.

I run through plot_optimizer_1.6-j6jq... does it really help speed up hashing when optimizing plot?

Thanks again.

"A non-Java port"? We were discussing guides, but we are planning for a complete GUI for both plotting and mining.

That's one option in a crowd-fund case in AT, to get together and collect the the means to pay a dev to do that. But no one seems interested in discussing the next AT case, which I posted about. Until we get a GUI, I find guides important to reduce mining problems Smiley


i think this would be a great crowd-fund case for at and also usefull to bring the coin to a wider range of people that to not have so much expierience with computers. i would be one of the crowd-funders :-)

Speaking of java problems, it seems as though the wallet has a memory leak... I've had one open over a week and it's slowly creeping up on memory usage. It's at about 2GB right now, which is starting to interfere with mining (I mine with 8GB of memory).

I had nothing but problems and seeing people hitting the same errors is common like java run time errors or direct x problems too got all that solved and roughly rote up in documents.

I stil lgot a few nuts n bolts that need fixing like slow plotting and crashing of GPU drivers on me R9 280x trying to work though and think found cause to problem but sill keeps on doing it. CPU plotting is fine but GPU mehh driver crash and game over restart plotting.

Once I have done this, in all honestly am not really too bothered about payments as I like to help out and support people in the future use of Burst or crypto alike if got problems ill help out where I can. Payment for me people coming to site or been credited for the work as author or part of auteur team is fine. Donations welcome but I often send back or pass coins on if people need for first deposit on their burst wallet etc.

I was mainly thinking about that you would get help and that it could speed up the process; it could enrich the content (groups tend to think about more than one man working alone) and work as a quality check by getting responses on your work. And, regarding money, I hope you saw that I wrote "considerable higher than 5K". We have several times donated more than 100K to members for their work, even if such a high amount would require an extraordinary end-product.

If you still want to keep it private, please consider creating a google doc and inviting some trusted members. We in the PR Team would be happy to help out. Smiley

We have noticed that a lot more people are able to answer mining questions now than before - that's nice Smiley But ideally we'd not have any questions if the guides were good enough.

We would like to update crowetic's guide but have little time doing so. Here it is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ytq47AmQZ1rzjoFuMW33c82JkuJ1L61Pdp95ZLbi3-k/

So here's an offer: if you feel like you could improve the text, email [email protected], include your BTT nick and some links to answers you've given in the thread or at BurstForum.com, and I'll give editing rights on the document. If you contribute constructively to the guide, I will send at least 5000 BURST to you as a token of appreciation. If you do a lot of quality work, the payment will be considerably higher.

We want the best possible guide Smiley


If not a minimum of three people email their interest and are considered qualified, I'll make it open for all to edit but will not pay anyone.



The same conditions applies to TetraHect0rCannabinol's linux guide found here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8299637 It will also be on google docs.

Thanks!



***EDIT: this is cross-posted at BurstForum, and the post here will be deleted eventually trying to move of the activetly to BurstForum.com, as there are much better possibilities at that forum to separate topics and questions.
***EDIT2: If you have try to email already I'm sorry, but I've corrected the email address now: [email protected] and nothing else.




I am working on getting a guide done and this will be listed on burstcoin section on my website very shortly. Full guide completed with video guidance and a lot more too as been learning as much as one can to better understand this coin and then help others out with it too


Impressive! A couple of things:
- a video guide is being produced already, so if I were you I would not start that project at now.
- in the post I said that We want the best possible guide! We could use your document and crow's - and you get paid and might get ppl helping you. How about that?


a non-Java port is also needed to increase adoption.  the latest generation is not so keen on Java.

All very nice, thanks mmmaybe!  Would be nice to get that email list going and send out short updates like this.

Regarding the download of the blockchain.. on the one hand I like it, on the other... does that defeat the decentralization of the network?

It's absolutely a problem for decentralization; the download of the DB is considered an help for those having problem and not every one should use. The difference with having it on a Torrent, as some has before, we will monitor the number the downloads: if they become too many, we will stop updating it or completely remove it.

I edited the post to make this point clear.


The email list is being worked on by Irontiga (I, unfortunately, had some rare requests..., and that made the implementation more complicated). But I think is soon is ready for the public Smiley

I seem to be having an issue with the lotteries, when I go to http://localhost:8125/atlotteries.html it gives me file missing error, but the file is clearly there. What is it that I'm not doing correctly Huh

Is the .hrml located under html/ui ?? Also are you using localhost or 127.0.0.1 to browse the burst wallet? If you are using 127.0.0.1 you probably need to download the other version.

lol. I'm an idiot. Thanks!


I had it in the wrong folder, must have overlooked that part.
