My 2950 is AWESOME at dropping 2GB plot files left and right.
I move them off to other machines in my network and start chewing up disks!


power edge server?

Yes, rack mounted PES....It's a processing monster!

I rented an FX-8320 CPU to plot some of my 3TB drives today.  I say "rented" because I intend to carefully open its box, get the job done, and return it within 15 days for a full refund.

I'm renting a big engine for a specific job, the Sempron 145 sucks, even when unlocked to Athlon 4450e dual core mode.

id feel bad returning it. and defiantly for the guy who bought it after me.

http://burstmp.com/ is still having serious problems with stale shares. whatever "profitability" change yall made seriously crippled ASICS. ive moved over 100mh off your pool until this can get rectified. please fix as soon as possible and i will return. it all started today after the annoucement about the changes.

I started an old stratum for you stratum+tcp://pool.burstmp.com:3421, sorry about the problems.

Perfect. Wonderfull Pool OP couldnt ask for any more. back to hashing.

can i leave all to 99% and close the plot generation or you suggest me to start from scratch ?

Yep, just kill the plot generator jobs.

PROBLEM : my linux partitions are shown as 5.6 TB
i created one plot for every computer each with 22000000 with dcct plot
the plot generator was shwoing 5371 gb but my fastest computer after 3 days plotting is stuck @ 99% due to not enough space and soon my other computers too ( all computers have same disk drives - 3x2 tb in raid 0) ;( can i leave all to 99% and close the plot generation or you suggest me to start from scratch ?

edit : NM JUST NOW got message from dcct plot generator : finished plotting Cheesy  lucky me ehehhe


thats from df -k Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
/dev/md3       5765327576 5632337028         0 100% /home

still have som 100 gigas in there ^^ plenty o space.... bettah leave room for it or plot those 140 giga ?


ps suggestion for every one : your linux show space in TB but PLOT GENERATOR even if indicates GB show the final lenght of file in TiB (1 TB = 1000 GB
1 TiB = 1024 GiB)

1TB = 1 000 000 000 000 byte
1Tib = 1 099 511 627 776 byte

so make your plots accordingly and dont risk like me Smiley

C Miner Update (dcct) for burst-pool.cryptoport.io

if you are using c miner for linux, please update your miner : https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/burst-mirror/dcct-pool-miner-r2.tgz
this basically remove deadline limit and add socket timeout on nonce submission

usage:
Code:
./dcct-miner   ...

don't use 'http' in pool-hostname

Guys i'm trying to hook up another hdd too plot it and mine from it, my first one was like this #AccounId#_0_1700000_7000 which is 425gb, what should my next start and end with so as to not creatie overlapping nonces?? I appreciate the help. Newbie here.

start your next one at 1700000  use https://bchain.info/BURST/tools/overlap

What should it end with? Because when i double this amount it says 5100000 nonces total (1245 GB) when it should only be about 850gb..


#AccounId#_0_1700000_7000

#AccounId#_1700000_3400000_7000


Also can i plot that hdd to the same account ID as the other one?

You don't want to double the amount - that number is "how many nonces do I want to generate" not "what should the last nonce number be".

So if you want another ~425 GB plotfile, use #AccountId# 1700000 1700000 7000
Format is:

I ran the tool at https://bchain.info/BURST/tools/overlap and this was the result:

3104997 nonces overlap (758 GB)
6744997 nonces total (1646 GB)
6742 disk seeks per Scoop (53.9 seconds @ 8ms)

I don't know how I did this because I thought that my math was good.

Anyway it says I have 1646 GB total on a drive that had 888 GB free when I started generating plots..

WTF does that mean? I have other drives that are reporting overlaps too.

Should I wipe it out and start new?

Thanks

The Retard.

They are beeing added up: 758 + 888 = 1646
Whats shown is correct, no need to start over.

Well that is a relief but I do not understand the math. Before I started generating plots I only had 888 GB free on the drive. I had to reboot my computers while plotting so have multiple files. So why the 1646 GB total for 888 GB of space? I am confused.
You restarted while your computer was still plotting, this is the reason.
The file NAME will reflect the full plot range you started plotting, even if you didn't finish plotting it.
If you know the last plot that was actually reported as plotted before you restarted, you will have to rename the file to that nonce instead.

...or you could start over. But renaming the file (if you know the last nonce it actually contains) would be more efficient than re-plotting everything.

I will leave it because I am not sure now. I used the advice of people on here and started plotting again. I do not think that there are overlaps or 1 nonce at the most. Thanks for putting my mind at ease.

The tool on the web site only analyzes the file names, not the files themselves. So, if one of your plot files was incomplete but you didn't rename it, then the tool will think it overlaps when it may not.

Sorry if this got answer already but i can't find it, lets say i have multiple hdd can i just copy paste the miner and plot gen to the other drives and run both miner and plot gen from there on all hdd ?

I know you can do this from the same computer, but not sure about different computers (in the case that you're using external USB hard drives).  Just remember to change the plot ranges...they're not hard drive dependent, they're account dependent.

thanks it looks like its wroking that way

and also from another computer

for solo mining that you have to change the ip where the wallet

Is there any way to generate plot files locally using an EC2 instance?

For example, I have a local 4TB storage but I want to plot in the cloud via streaming the files. Does something like this exist? I DON'T want to store the files in EBS since that will cost me a ton. Or is downloading from EBS and then wiping the only way? Does S3 charge for the whole month on the spot or is it hourly/daily/averaged?

You'd be charged for the bandwidth to transfer large amounts of data from your EC2 to a local drive.
