Hi, I'm new to burstcoin. I received coin from faucet, but it is unconfirmed transaction for 7 blocks ago... Usually how long should I wait, or there are actions that I have to perform? Thanks!

Curious bit, I have a rather large plot going on right now. What happens if you miscalculate the amount of space you have and you try to plot more space then you have? Will the plot still be good if the plotter runs into it or will it error out and the plot will be corrupt?

The plotter will stop, but the file is still good to use.
If you use Blago's miner you may need to rename the file, so the nonces_count * 256 * 1024 = file_size_in_bites. If file_size_in_bites/256/1024 is not a whole number you also need to set the end of the file to match the last nonce plotted. I had 2 such files at some point, so I wrote this C# code to set the EOF in windows without additional space or replot:
Code:
FileStream plotFileStream = File.Open("K:\\plots\\9591539430059160058_93967360_1269760_8192", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);
plotFileStream.SetLength(324270030848);
plotFileStream.Close();

Has the windows miner a thread/hdd limit?!
...


https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9967171

miner support 100 different accounts,
1000 files per thread,
maximum threads = 24  ("c:\\+d:\\" - it's 1 thread)

you can use in series  "c:\\+d:\\+e:\\+f:\\"
  
(12 cores = 24 threads)
I did not think that anyone will use more than 24 threads, if necessary, can increase the limits...

Sry Blago, i should RTFM ... the 'series' operator perfectly solves my Problem ... thx, you are awesome :-)

Miner works fine for me, but after adding drive 25 it crashes on startup ... tested with 2 different drives.


http://s4.postimg.org/qicls2otn/miner.jpg

My CPU has 6/12 cores/threads ... i can run 24 drives, it seams to me that only 2 drives per thread are allowed/possible?!

...

Edit: If i split the drives and run 2 instances of miner, there is no problem ... but thats not nice :-)

Hey,

traying to withdraw from Bittrex gives me an "invalid address" error. Support said "your BURST address needs to be primed and visible on the chain", but didn't know how to do that.

Can anyone help me?

You need a few coins deposited into your account to activate it.

http://burstfaucet.com/
http://faucet.burstcoin.info/

Try those, if not post your address, I'm sure someone here can spare 2 or 4 burst

Good-Luck

So that faucet procedure didn't work.. The first one gave me an error anyway and the tx from the second one never arrived.

Seems like a bit of a hassle to send BURST?

If anyone can help it's much appreciated..

Well it is a standard procedure with nxt based coins. We had some issues with faucets earlier in this thread, perhaps they are not updated to 1.2.0 so the tx never go through.

Post the address like people mentioned. I'll be able to send you some in 6ish hours if nobody reacts sooner.

BURST-AZS3-QLKM-RWLR-4B6LJ

Much appreciated, thanks a lot.

5 bursts your way

Thanks to everyone who sent (1x5 + 2x10 BURST received). Already sent my first tx from Bittrex and it really does work now.

Curiously, if you have more then one drive, I know you aren't supposed to overlap nonces, but can you start the next drive wherever you want it to be or does it have to be sequential so the next nonce is right after the first one without any skips in between?

Like if I have 0-50000, does the next drive need to start at 50001-100000 or can I just start it at 100000 (hypothetical numbers)?

it DOES NOT have to be sequential. I usually add a zero. Wink

I don't know of any faucet troubles earlier, i do know that the wallet is not 0n 1.2.0 yet tho. So that's the reason, will update soon.

Huh? But I can't deposit from my own address on another exchange?

Thanks, tried the faucets. Hope it works.

Poloniex says this "BURST-AZS3-QLKM-RWLR-...." is my BURST address. Is this even correct? Typing that string into the block explorer only gives me more errors..
