Thanks liv, do i have to tell the programm which file to mine, or does it mine all files together?

Intel HD Graphics wouldnt affect the gpu plotter from detecting my R9 290 would it?
I don't believe so. Have you made sure you have the latest Drivers as well as the AMD APP SDK installed?

Many times... I'm currently uninstalling everything and running a driver cleaner.  Then re-installing everything based of the links you posted.  Will post back with results.

You don't think a PCI Express riser would change things would it?

It shouldn't.

Everything is working now!  Don't know what the issue was but uninstalling everything and re-installing everything fixed the issue!  Thanks everyone that pitched in some help.

For me it didnt work because EXACTLY INTEL HD.. it simply defined as  a default graphic on my motherboard..and untill i changed it in bios. i cant do anything Smiley

Hey guys, some kind of stupid question, is everything gone when i close the run_generate before its finished?
Can i just save and keep generating the next day?

Because i tried the first time today and noticed that it will not be saved.
I have a 6TB HDD, is it better to create smaller files, would be a pain in the ass if my pc crashes after like 5TB.

When you close it your plot file is not full, but you can mine with it like with full file..
Do it by parts..  maybe 500 GB or by 1 TB.. its good to lose one TB instead of 5 Cheesy

i finish plotting all my HDD. i am bored now  Sad

Fuck duck. I was just coming here to same the same thing LOL. I've got everything plotted so I guess the only thing to do it buy more hard drives. I still have slots for internal drives so may as well buy some storage Smiley

uray i have switched to your pool..

my address:
BURST-2HN2-3XVV-QVUX-7G869

but i don't understand if all is ok after setting http://127.0.0.1:8125/rewardassignment.html params!

can you check plz?

or maybe, why you do not do 3 page like burst pool http://178.62.39.204:8121/:

Current share counts
Current allowed users
Current user balances


than kyou!!




That would be great.. I dont know if i mining right or wrong.. but with this pages it will be so simple to find out Smiley

I am attempting to CPU plot on an external USB 1tb drive. I have around 600gb free and even though I have gone through and deleted large files, I am continuously running into "Not enough space on disk" error at the same plot number that is about 3gb into plotting. Does anyone have any suggestions? My error does not seem to be related to the actual amount of disk space.


Note: I have other drives plotted and mining.
Is your drive formatted as NTFS? If it is formatted as FAT32, there is a limitation of file size.

The best gpu plotter guide to date....

The Threads are linked to work size, but not exactly if it's the same as regular gpu mining. I run 8160 hashes and the card seems to still run fine for normal desktop stuff.
So, you can confirm that "Max work group size" is the maximum that can be used?

Just by my personally tests. I can run at 256, but 128 seems to be the sweet spot for my MSI HD7970. I tried 64, the results were less than either 128 or 256.

excellent guide, I just wanted to point out that I have this line for my 280x
Max global memory size:  3072 MB

but I can create plots with 4000 stagger so it is possible to have higher

I am using one of the early versions. I dont have the settings for hashes.
Thanks for the info. If this the case, I have no idea what Max stagger is related to...
So, I'd need some more information as to what contributes to the Max stagger limit.

Edit: Ah, I see you edit. It may be a limitation of the newer version of the GPU Plotter to prevent the GPU from crashing. But I'm not the dev, so I don't know.

More likely...On v.1.1.0, while plotting, my miner would crash with the gpu plotter stagger at 4096....On v.2.0.0, miner hasn't crash since then with gpu plotter stagger at 3072...

Here is a better guide on How to use the Windows GPU Plotter:

Getting Started

Download/Install GPU Drivers and OpenCL support:

For Nvidia GPU Users:
I don't have an Nvidia GPU, so I still need confirmation from ya'll on what is required
According to Nvidia "OpenCL support is included in the latest NVIDIA GPU drivers, available at http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us"


For AMD/ATI GPU Users:
Download/Install drivers for your video card:
(Note, you should already have video drivers installed. But you may need to play around with installing different versions of the driver for best performance)
Latest Version - http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+7+-+64
Archived Versions - http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/previous?os=Windows%207%20-%2064

Download/Install the AMD APP SDK for your version of Windows:
http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/opencl-zone/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/


Download/Extract the Windows GPU Plotter:
1) The GPU Plotter is archived in a .7z file, so you will need to Download and install 7-zip to be able to extract it (if you don't already have it):
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

2) Download the Windows GPU plot generator (v2.0.0):
https://mega.co.nz/#!2BNDXY4L!jgwHDZXDJyFp2Jg5mN8sxtpplgXEInSMf1cQGbPc5lM

3) Right-click & extract the "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0.7z" file and select 7-zip -> extract to "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0\"


Using the Windows GPU Plotter:
1) open the newly created "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0" folder that was created in the previous step

2) In an empty space within the "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0" folder do the following:
Hold down the "shift" key and right-click in an empty spot. Select "Open command window here"
(Note: the "Open command window here" option is only available if you hold Shift and Right-Click)
(Alternatively, you could just open a command window manually and do a "CD" to the folder containing the gpuPlotGenerator.exe file)

3) Run the following command to list the GPU's Platform and Platform ID:
Code:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe list platforms
Note down the "ID" number for the proper device platform, this number will be in the next step

Example:


4) Run the following commands to find the DeviceID's of the device in your system, replacing with the number you noted down in the last step:
Code:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe list devices

Example:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe list devices 0



Note down the "ID" number for the proper device to use, this will be in the next step
Note down the "Max global memory size" number, this will be the MAXIMUM we are able to set

5) Finally, create the desired plotting information. Here is the basic syntax for the app:
Quote
gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate ""

= The ID# we found in Step 3 (In my case, this was 0)
= The ID# we found in Step 4 (In my case, this was also 0)
= The folder you wish to have plots created (Ex: C:\Path to\plots)
= This is your Numeric Burstcoin wallet address (Ex: 11111222223333344444)
= The plot number you would like to start generating at
= The number of plots to create from the StartingPlot
= Amount of memory to use on the GPU, in MB. (Ex: I set mine to 1024, instead of my MAX of 1265)
= Amount of parallel GPU threads to use (Typically either 64, 128 or 256 depending on the capabilities of your card) (believe this may be tied to "Max work group size", but have no way to confirm)
= Number of chunks the GPU will split work into. (Ranges from 1 to 8160, this is purely guess work... so start low-ish and try to go up as close to 8160 as you can as higher numbers stress the GPU more)

As an example, this is the command that I used on my AMD Radeon 7800:
Code:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate 0 0 "C:\Path to\plots" 11111222223333344444 14670000 7335000 1000 64 1024
Note: The above command is probably not optimized for the best speed... but it's just an example that works for my card
Revised instructions for using the Windows GPU Plotter, as some were still getting confused.

Also, thank you to bipben for the amazing job on getting a GPU Plotter functional
(also, you are more than welcome to steal any of my notes for your ReadMe if it would help users)
