I am solo mining, have been for about 12 hours. I do not see any transactions on my wallet(s) yet. Is this normal? Would a pool present quicker payouts?

You only get a transaction if you generate the lowest deadline of everyone in the entire network. That takes quite a bit of luck, so even though there is a "lottery" every 4 mnutes, it can take days, even for a relatively large number of terabytes.

I have over 7TB plotted now, and i have hit 3 blocks in like 10 days. The normal day is with no blocks.

At this link, https://bchain.info/BURST/tools/calculator you can type in how many TB you have, and then see how many coins you get per day. I typed in 7 TB and got 3714 coins.
Now, take the current block reward, which is 9500 and divide by the coins per day from above : 9500/3714
The result, 2.55 is the average number of days you can expect to have to wait between blocks.

You can also take the month number, i get 111414 then divide by 9500 that is about how many blocks you will get in a month. I get 11.7 so during a month i should get about 12 blocks.

As everything is based on randomness, the actual number of days will vary of course, but this is probably close to the best estimates.

I have 20TB on the way, when that is installed and plotted i hope to get to about a block a day.

Solo mining is like watching paint dry.. not that much excitement most of the time.

ok, but why is there an overlap when I go to create the second and third plots

when I go to create the third plot, I am watching the terminal and there is overlap in the creation from plot #2 to plot #3

./run_generate.sh 80001 160000 8191 4

./run_generate.sh 160001 240000 8191 4

because it does not create exactly 80000 but 81920 if you use 8192 (= 8GB RAM) for example
that's because the tool adjusts the nonces to match the stagger size, but that's not new Wink

shouldn't these be consecutive plots? or am I missing something?

and if this is correct, why is the second plot twice the size as the first plot if each plot is only supposed to be 20GB (By my mistake on size)??

another question about plot creation....

I am still using the original run_generate.sh script to generate plots on a Mac.

what I want to do is to create my plots in 200GB files for easy of management, so based on the posted info, 80000 plots should equal 200GB

so I use the command;

./run_generate.sh 0 80001 8191 4

The terminal says it create a plot and goes from 0 - 80000 in the terminal, but the file is only 21GB

next I ran this command

./run_generate.sh 80001 160000 8191 4

to get the next plot from 80001 - 160000 which should be another 200GB file but this file is only 43GB but the terminal says it went from 80001 all the way through 240000

why?? how do you control the sizes of the plots accurately and make sure there are no crossovers or missing hashes in the plots??

80000 equals 20GB so you need one more zero behind the eight Wink

Got some stuff reconfigured, attached drives to a different PC. Reinstalled 13.12 drivers. Now I am trying to use 'GPU plot generator v2.1.1'. It gets to --->

Creating OpenCL program
[ERROR] Unable to open the source file

Here is the command I am running -
gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate 0 0 "D:\plots" xxxxAddressxxx 0 32000000 1024 256 4080

Any ideas?

gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate 0 0 "plots" xxxxAddressxxx 0 32000000 1024 256 4080

And make the plots folder where the generator is. Or move the ploter in the root of drive D if you already have the plots folder there

wich pool are you using?

i think it is pretty good!

I use http://burst-pool2.cryptoport.io

Works pretty good, payments every 2-4h, im mined solo 4 days and got nothing, im gonna stay pool now.

Plotting veerryy slowly right now for one bank of drives - 10TB there. Going to move it to a different machine with a GPU to speed up plotting. Other bank is 12TB and they are plotting much quicker. Is 22TB a reasonable number to solo mine with or shall I use a pool? Thx for input.

Total 22 TB? You should get arround 2 blocks per 24h.

Can anyone explain me a little about DIFF?
On calculator it says: Estimated network size 5979 TB Coins per day 572 with 1 TB, more or less the same estimated payout since 20 days, sometimes less,sometimes more(and it's real)
On burst explorer it says that DIFF is encreas day by day.

So,DIFF encrease is different from network size regarding payout?

Yes and yes. When solo mining you will get payment only after successful block find. On a pool that occurs much more frequent and you get paid according to the shares you sent to the pool

WTB burst. Large number 250k and above

I have 10,945 for sale but only for 800 satoshis each so that's a large number.

We can do a bounty for it so you can finally leave this thread forever. I start with 2k Bursts.

And stop the spam please. Not everybody is interested in your old harddrives in the land of the free and brave.
