Topic: [ANN][BURST] Burst | Efficient HDD Mining | New 1.2.3 Fork block 92000 - page 939. (Read 2170895 times)

Good question, i don't know if you miss some range like stop a 100 000 and start at 101 000, so you lost the 1000 between (i think that's what you want to know), what this make...

If someone have the answer for that, i take it too, Certainly dcct know the answer

DCCT IF YOU'RE THERE!

I'm plotting in two different hard disk. I have 2 miners running in each hard disk with the same address and config. It should be alright, yes?  

Yeah, this was my question, whether I should use different starting nonce on each drive, respectively on each PC.

Will I have issues if some ranges are missing?

much more

0.15 btc aren't 50 dollars

Just to make sure. If i ahve a 4tb will it generate plots each hours until it fills up the hdd? or it will generate 1 big plot for the hdd?

Also lets say i am running on this 4tb and want to add another one. what will be the process to link that other hdd to the first one?

Thank you for your time if you can manage to answer those.

I am thinking about future where PB farm is common. Let say if its 1000 PB , internet speed have to increase ?

Bitcoin holds the record for having the highest computing power on Earth.

I wonder if Burst will hold the record for having the highest disk space.

Imagine in the future Burst can make use of those plot to store data.

It could possibly store data for the entire world

Well, window with what I assume was plotting disappeared after like 2 minutes or so... Now I get this reading error in between...


IS this the way it is supposed to be?

You can mine with the same id on multiple computer that"s not the thing which cause overlapping, you just need to generate for each drive with different starting nonce

Hi,

If I have multiple computers, each of them having it's own 1TB hdd, mining in same v2 pool with same id.

Should I need to be careful of non-overlapping plots across the multiple computers?

If you want, to generate fast, you need good cpu and some ram, however you can generate with a little cpu but can take lot of time, mainly for 4tb

That's seems good to me.
Don't worry for you plots file at 0b, the size grow with time (that was the same for me)
You can mine during plotting, no problem, but mining on the same computer you're plotting, extend the plotting time. it was my case

I need help here:

Let's say i have a 4TB hdd to mine this.
What else do i need ? Does it uses the ram,cpu ? specific motherboard or what ever?

Or all it takes is the hdd?

Hi everyone,

As promised I have been working on a GPU plot generator on the last few days. I made a little program built on top of OpenCL, and it seems to work pretty well in CPU mode. Unfortunately, I can't test the GPU mode as it requires a very powerfull graphic card (with at least 46kB private memory per compute unit, because the algorithm needs at least 4096*64 static bytes to store an entire plot).

Here is a preview you can test for now :
gpuPlotGenerator-src-1.0.0.7z : https://mega.co.nz/#!bcF2yKKL!3Ud86GaibgvwBehoxkbO4UNdiBgsaixRx7ksHrgNbDI
gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-1.0.0.7z : https://mega.co.nz/#!HJsziTCK!UmAMoEHQ3z34R4RsXoIkYo9rYd4LnFtO_pw-R4KObJs

I will build another release in the end of the day with some minor improvements (threads per compute unit selection, output of OpenCL error codes, improvement of the Makefile to generate the distribution directly).
I will also try to figure out another mean to dispatch the work between the GPU threads to reduce the amount of private memory needed by the program.

For the windows people, you can use the binary version directly.
For the linux people, just download the source archive, make sure to modify the OpenCL library and lib path in the makefile (and maybe the executable name), and build the project via "make". To run the program, you need the "kernel" and the "plots" directories beside the executable.

The executable usage is : ./gpuPlotGenerator

The parameters are the same as the original plot generator, without the threads number.

If you find bugs or if you want some new features, let me now.

Here is whats in console command

its a 2TB hard drive. Command itself generated a file in /pocminer/plots yet its 0B in weight...

Also, Im running an instance of miner per hard disk. Am I doing it right?

Roughly $50/day at current rates.

Miner do not use space, that's plotting which use space, and depend on what you put in your command line to generate plot

Thank you .

It's all kinda hard to understand for a newcomer, here are some questions. I know they were prob. answered before but hell, in 400 pages topic its really hard to find anything...

How can I know how much disk space miner is using?
I saw other people posting screens with files generated on their hard disk. Are those generated once block is found? Or should I be getting them as well?
