ICO? Not even once.
Dev,
you can look at this problem memory leak on windows?
I'm not an isolated case and it is very strange that this problem happens to some and not to others.
The garbage collector java would it not an issue ?
I also doubt that those who encounter the problem have made ​​their plot with what? Would it not due to Gpu Plotter?
Thanks

The Blago/dcct miner acts the same every time it reads the plots, except it cleans after itself, unlike the java miner. With rammap you can see that each file takes a certain amount of memory:

I'm using dcct's new miner to solo mine and I keep getting this:


Code:
Walet reported no deadline.
229 MB read/917 GB total/no deadline

Any idea what might be causing this? and how to fix it?  Roll Eyes

I'm mining with 6TB by the way.

dcct's miner can not handle special characters in your passphrase properly.
If you use special characters in your passpharase and you want to use dcct's miner,
you should change miner's code a little or change your passphrase and replot all you HDDs. Wink

Quote
If passphrase contains special characters like !"#$%& etc..., the miner won't mine properly.
The special characters must be encoded like %21%22%23%24%25%26.
The line 72 and 372 of  mine.c should be modified like following.


Code:
LINE 72:
// Buffer to read the passphrase to
char passphrase[/*2001*/6001];


LINE 372:
#if 0
        for( i=0; i                if( passphrase[i] == ' ' )
                        passphrase[i] = '+';

                // end on newline
                if( passphrase[i] == '\n' )
                        passphrase[i] = 0;
        }
#else
        {
                char work[6001];
                long result = 0;
                char *p = NULL;
                long loop1;


                p = work;
                for (loop1=0; loop1 < bytes; loop1++) {
                        result = isalnum(passphrase[loop1]);

                        if (result == 0) {
                                if (passphrase[loop1] != 0xa) { /* if not newline. */
                                        sprintf(p, "%%%x", passphrase[loop1]);
                                        p+=3;
                                }
                        } else {
                                *p = passphrase[loop1];
                                p++;
                        }
                }
                bytes = p - work;
                memcpy(passphrase, work, bytes);
        }
#endif




Hey man thanks a lot for the answer, this is the kind of answer I was looking for. I tried modifying line #372 and nothing happened, is there any way you could PM me a link to download your mine.c file?

Guys, it would be nice to fill up the faucet every now and then.  Undecided

Especially for the newcomers here... and the richlist Wink

bittrex disable Huh

Mine says that too...  What is that all about?

Same here and zero news on bittrex

Found a blurb on the site that says if a coin is labeled "Disabled" it usually means that they're doing maintenance on it, but I wish they would have a note or some sort of other information.

Blago, any change you'll release the source and build instructions for your miner?

Is it your tool?  -  based at dcct code, but some recoded.
Does it work on Dev2's pool?  - Yes, but testing now, download new version https://www.dropbox.com/s/3ah0se62uvz1n8t/miner.exe?dl=0 (delete some bugs for V2)
Does it handle memory better than the java miner?  - Yes
Should one run one instance for each plot dir or will it do as well including several dirs?  -  1 miner for several dirs





Thanks for your work  Smiley I tried it on several boxes on Dev's2 pool. I renamed the passphrases.txt to something else.

It did run, and it did find shares. But the shares weren't counted by the pool, the number quickly decreased during the test. I never got to 100% read either, some 10-12 plots were stuck ar ~60%.

When I went back to java mining, the found shares were counted as before by the pool.

Hope you figure the bugs out, coz its a really nice tool Cheesy

I have continued to not mine.  And I don't miss it.  The power usage, the stress, the frustration of coming home from a day at work and seeing NO new coins because the difficulty has gone sky high...... Grin

so... goodbye then.

Ok then I understood when the pass is needed , but when I set it to the pool it crashes. My command line is:

@echo off
:start
miner.exe pool 5.12.177.209 8124 localdrive:\localpath\plots\
goto start


I also tryed this:


@echo off
:start
miner.exe poolV2 5.12.177.209 8124 localdrive:\localpath\plots\
goto start


EDIT: I'm running it on WIn7 Ult 64

PM me log-file

For test try https://www.dropbox.com/s/85cequgcmlonc6z/miner-burst.zip?dl=0

miner.exe pool burst-pool2.cryptoport.io 80 c:\plots\ d:\plots\ ...




Totally missed this...  Huh Is it your tool? Does it work on Dev2's pool? How is the preferance overall? Does it handle memory better than the java miner? Should one run one instance for each plot dir or will it do as well including several dirs?

I was just about to replace my last windows installs with ubuntu.

Have to try it when I get home. If it works well, the coder can expect a donation Smiley


Thanks! Smiley

This version is ok for special caracters ?

NOT yet



I cant get why the miner needs my passphrase, I think its too risky giving it.
I deleted the passphrase after created the plots... Java miner doesnt need paswords , just plots...

passphrase need only in solo-mode.


Don't work for me



There must be something else?  Huh

Miner for x64 systems.  loks like 0xc000007b - disk problems, i'm did not testing mklinks

Excellent!! Cheesy

Are there problems to handle special characters in the password, as someone said...?

Needs it for solo...? but not pools?  Huh
