Got a problem with the GPU miner.  It says it generated a plot file, but it didn't.

I had 1.24 TB of free space on a 3 TB drive, and I got this 2.0.1 plotter working last night.  It seemed to be doing fine.  I came home this evening after work, and checked the drive..... and it still has 1.24 TB of free space after the GPU plotter appeared to successfully complete plotting 5,200,000 plots for me!  

What the FCUK?

The "plots" folder in the GPU plotter has nothing in it.

From the command line window in the directions on page 459, here's my code to get the plotter plotting:

gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate 0 0 "D:\GPUPLOTGENERATOR\gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.1\plots" HERE IS MY ACCOUNT NUMBER 60000000 5200000 1024 64 2048

So what the hell did it spend 8 hours generating?  Where's the file?  It's not on my C drive, the C drive is nowhere near big enough to take this plot file that should've mostly filled a 1.24 GB free space.

I am not happy. Angry

LoL Grin Grin Destination folder for your plot file is- D:\GPUPLOTGENERATOR\gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.1\plots  But you are looking for it on drive C:\
Man,if my laptop will die,I will not give it to you to repair Grin Grin

FAH Q man, how silly of me to think that the creator of the damn plotter actually knew what he was doing.  I figured it out on my own.

RE-EDIT - I see that you misread what I said when I wrote that I didn't see it on C drive.  I did not mean that I was only looking for it on C drive, I meant that it was on neither the C or D drive, so what the hell did it spend all that time plotting?

now which one of best creating plot with gpu or cpu?i have 2card frist 280X and second R9-290 some guys says in the forum gpuploter is not good this is true?

I am trying to get an answer on this as well...

Hi everybody

The dcct-miner on burstpool.cryptopool.io doesnt have enough time to read all my plot files. It reads some part of them and the new block starts, and the miner begins to read from the beginning. Is it fine? Am I going to be payed?

Thank you.

Dev v2 pool having "unable to get mining info from wallet" errors.
go from port 80 to the 4 digit port in the guide "how to m8ne". since doing that iv not seen that once. seems the port 80 is over loaded

I'll try it, thanks.

I'm not on uray's pool and I used direct port already on v2 dev pool.
ahh im on urays. which was over loaded in one port so switched to 4 number port and that became overloaded need another port on your pool

You can still check.

Suppose your cpu plots are nonce 0 - 1000
and your gpu plots are nonce 1001 - 2000

Look for this line in your miner - New Best: ACC # : nonce#
Check your deadline.


if your nonce# from New Best falls within your cpu plotted range, I guarantee you will have a deadline <2000000. That's 23 days, ok I pulled that out of my ass but w/e

My point is that I also guarantee that if your New Best nonce# falls within your gpu plotted range, then you will have a deadline 1E12 or higher, that's ~30,000 years +


Would love to see more confirmation on this however.  I've noticed it the past couple of days and Regtable seems to finally believe what I've been saying to him Tongue

Actually, according to my download history I started doing GPU plotting on 9/9.  I can just go and delete all plots from 9/9 or later and then re-do them. :-/

Ok, update:

I realized I was plotting to a folder that didn't exist. I had just swapped drives and the path wasn't the same - so no plot file was being created.  I guess it was just computing on the video card without taking breaks to write to the disk?  Now that I've corrected the path, the GPU usage is back to going up and down and I'm back down to a more realistic 15,000 nonces/min.

That being said, where/when did the GPU plotter start running into this deadline problem?  I'm still using the old 2.0.0 GPU generator with Burst's original kernel mod and 13.152 drivers.
iv had this issue since 2nd version of gpu miner. plotted up all hds and only just been brought to light that its not working right. as i had 2 hdd's plotted with cpu still on pool, deadline shown was ok. its only since actually watching all miners and seperating them into gpu/cpu sides i noticed all gpu plots are no good for making a block ever. not in 1000 years minimum anyway. plus i noticed my coin payments drop off to 1/2 a day of only 50-100 coins per pay out for nearly 3 tb so looks like a cpu re plot AGAIN. this coins becoming a pain in my side

Hmm... I'll have to look into it I guess... Unfortunately most of my drives are half CPU plots and half GPU plots...

That could explain why the difficulties didn't raise very quickly even with GPU plotter hitting over 10k nonce. That could also explain why many people are complaining about low payout.

However , that could be problem for AMD plotter. I am using Nvidia and my payout was good. I even find block using newly GPU plotted nonce. The downside for Nvidia is the plotting speed is very slow compare to AMD. Maybe it trade off quality for quantity for AMD. AMD is high speed , but bad quality nonce


Good point, it could be just AMD or certain models or something.  If your deadlines and payouts are ok then I wouldn't be too worried.  Just bad luck for me for sure lol.

I've already started replacing plots with cpu and I just got a 700 payout in one hour since last 100th block payout.  I'm following the good omen's Cheesy
