I like to announce a new version of my Linux miner/plotter/plot optimizer:

https://bchain.info/dcct_miner.tgz
sha256: eca303c3f2fb46a698797eab707bcc927614cfdd135c8e17114b52a6c962d641

How to use it
Download and unpack it:
wget https://bchain.info/dcct_miner.tgz
tar -xvzf dcct_miner.tgz

Then compile it:
make

of if you use 32-bit Linux:
make linux32

If you really can't compile it use the ones in "bin".

Now you have 3 tools:

The C plotfile generator

This tool creates plotfiles. In simple mode use it like this:

This will fill the entire disk with a single plot file using a random start nonce, 80% of available memory and max. threads.

Or specify:

for starting nonce 100000, 500GB plot size, 10GB memory usage and 3 threads.

The plot optimizer utility

The new version is a LOT faster!

If you created your plots with a small stagger size, processing them takes a long time. You might miss your deadline if its found too late!
The utility optimizes your already created files making them a lot faster to read.

How to use it?


Or process your whole plot directory:


You can limit the memory usage, for example to 1GB:


It will replace your plot files with optimized ones.

This does not work for incomplete plotfiles.

The miner

You want to use your plotfiles to generate coins, this is where the miner is used.

For solo mining put your passphrase in a file called "passphrases.txt". It supports only one passphrase and uses the files first line.
Avoid spaces before/after your passphrase.

Then start the miner:


For example:


Each directory is read by a separate thread. If you use multiple HDD's try to use one directory per HDD, this is fastest.

The miner creates some nice output:

When seconds left approach zero, you likely found a block.

The miner also supports pool mining:
For uray's pool use:


For dev's pools (share based)


or

Same error with 2!

The path of your plots should be like this:
D:\\local path\\plots

Try it...

and specially note the \\ just one \ isn't enough  

I cannot understand why it keeps giving me this error!
The plot is located in the directory D, however, does not work!

You mean, good example to use cmd.exe and run your stuff from there instead. It won't bite.

lol, no offense, but your 2 cents are WAY off.

I will be buying as soon as I possibly can, Just had to shell out 4 thousand dollars, so my cash is a little low right now. But trust me, I would totally be buying if I had extra btc lying around.

btw above screenshot is a good example why to use "pause"

ever thought about the fact, that you won't see the error if cmd windows crashes without pause, just an idea

thanks!  


I have another problem

I don't get it why you teach people to make a bat file and put pause at the finish. And I am not talking just about you here. I've been witnessing a lot of people doing the same thing.
Just open a freakin cmd window, go to the folder and type whatever you need. It'll be easier than to keep modifying a bat file...
CMD didn't killed anyone to date.

burst-miner.exe
pause

it will use mining.conf as a standard conf file, so put your correct plot folder in there first

burst-miner.exe
pause

 

Not sure, but I can say that my optimized plots work perfectly. Chances are, if an optimized plot isn't working properly the original plot wasn't either.

NEW POC MINER 1 R3

https://github.com/uraymeiviar/burst-miner/releases/tag/1.0

How do I configure it?
I have to make a bat file and write what?

for windows

thanks

BURST will never come back to 500 satoshi.
My 2 cents.
