do i have to generate the plot in one go...can i generate 10 plots of 100 GB instead of single 1 Tb ..because it takes lot of time to generate a single one and if something happens in between and it closes..all time is wasted..

1 more question. can i open a few miners if i have several harddisk or partitions? I would just need to copy and paste the poc_miner to each drive right?


For 4TB harddisk (3.63TB real space), are my arguments optimum?  0 - 14,400,000. From the guide it says 200GB for 800k

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate 460635828253812312 0 14400000 1000 4

Right. Its the only way to mine right now on Windows.
One miner per drive/partition

Not exactly. NTFS supports links like unix filesystems.
See mklink.exe command.
Its possible to gather files from 1000 partitions to one directory

i have made a HOW TO movie on youtube ,
Feedback is welcome as it was my first youtube unload and i am still new to burst coin my self

http://youtu.be/oYlf1xFTHvs

Awesome! Name of the music? Please no Darude Sandstorm jokes  Tongue

Nice that he put out a video, but it would have been better to actually speak out the procedures and tips on setup. Also, it would have better served to just make a passphrase in the text file inside the PoC miner folder oppose to one generated in the browser.

thanks
I will update it . I have the man flu atm so i will add voice when i get over this dam flu  Angry

i forgot you can add the paraphrase in the folder i will update this later


It's just my critique, but thanks for contributing to the community... Cool

For anyone who wants to get into mining seriously - quit thinking about SATA ports and USB enclosures and crap and start thinking real hardware.

http://unixsurplus.com/product/sgi-3u-media-server-storage-16-hd-bay-sas-sata-ssd-san-array-35-nas-jbod-good
less than $200, comes with 16 drive sleds and supports SATA disks.
All you need is a external SAS hba, which runs you less than a hundred bucks on ebay.


People can use eSata with an eSata enclosure with multiple bays for cheaper. Most motherboards have eSata already, plus 8 to 12 Sata ports on board.
That disk enclosure is $135, you find me a 16 bay eSATA enclosure for less than $150 and I'll kiss your ass.
Then you find me a eSATA enclosure that you can connect 18 of to a single server. Smiley


Even if you get all that storage going, the time of plotting still would take long. At that rate, I would rather put 10 hdd's in a case, the get another rig plotting also and so fort. Plotting is dependent on cpu thread, memory and the efficiency of the data throughput of the system overall.

This is  where the fun comes in. If there were no plotting , i wonder what will happen to this coin. People can just buy HDD and mine at full speed. Right now , CPU plotting put a nice time gap.

man my first terabyte when i relized how long it was taking..  i was so stressed out looking at the pile of harddrive i had to fill. thats when i turned on every computer in my house and had them all plotting to it and boom like clock work

isnt this great ? If it's just plug and play , this coin will not be what it is today.

*Burst is proof of HDD capacity, but you'd better have a couple of Xeon's attached to them for the first few days...

bottle kneck is CPU plotting not sata ports/ harddrive organization

"- Up to 32TB with 2TB disk drives" what if i wanted to use 4tb hdds

Plot generation with cpu is difficult on big arrays of hdd's, especially for a single socket motherboard. Ideally a quad socket motherboard (ie. server motherboards) are more ideal for plotting and have a lot of memory slots too.
