Topic: Proof of HDD Capacity (PoC) Mining Config/Data Sharing/Collaboration (Read 4311 times)

Your very welcome....I feel that the Burst thread is getting too unorganized and that the dev is lacking in updating the OP, not to discredit his time and effort for getting it out there....I will try what I can to keep it clear as possible....I like Burstcoin's mining concept, but I think that the project as a whole is lacking the aspects of organization and urgency of other successful coins, just being honest about that....

Thanks, this is *very* helpful information on mining Burst, and I'm glad to see it posted as a separate thread. Posting important information on page #80 of an existing thread often means it gets lost in the shuffle. I spent a little while digging through the Burst codebase to try and ascertain this, but got busy with other matters before making much progress.

Hi everyone, hope everyone that is mining Burst is enjoying it and finding blocks.

I just wanted to create this thread to sharing info and ideas to improve mining Burst or any future PoC coin.

Here is an rough draft of a google spreadsheet I created, please add to it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uaXMLjLt90Ms1oRjcjz-eYPOkARtNS8JdrKFKOJdg4o/edit?usp=sharing

Everyone should have a fair knowledge to mine and to withhold that knowledge would be not good for the crypto-community in general.

Be glad to see people helping each other out here and please refrain from getting off topic, only talk about mining PoC and issues with it.

If I see any info that is helpful enough to be post on the OP, I will append the OP and add it below.

Thank you everybody,
SD13


Appended Info:

Here's the thread for Burstcoin for cross reference: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annburst-burst-efficient-hdd-mining-new-123-fork-block-92000-731923

Formula for calculating Plot/Nonce Size: x=HDD used data size in GB

                                                f(x)=Plot/Nonce size

                                                f(x)=4096x

Guides for mining Burst taken from OP and thanks to the guys for supplying it:

Windows mining guide: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8298999 (thanks to KSpinner)

One thing that cause me a little issue was the wording on KSpinner's guide:

run_generate.bat file
Example for this is:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate *youraccount#* *plot#tostartwith* *plot#toendwith* 1000 4

It should have been this:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner generate *your_account_#* *plot_to_start_with_#* *plot_size_#* 1000 4

A note, do not include the asterisks and put number instead in the following words: *your_account_#*, *plot_to_start_with_#*, *plot_size_#*

Your plot size ideally should be the multiple of the number that follows it, that number is the stagger size for each generation/write to the hdd.

Example, I underlined the numbers to show each numbers more clearly:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner 1234567890987654321 0 5734400 1024 4

Thanks to dcct, here's a tool to calculate overlapping plots from the Burst thread: https://bchain.info/BURST/tools/overlap
And plot merge tool(Linux only): https://bchain.info/merge.c


UPDATE: Please do not alter others information on the spreadsheet as a joke, that's downright disrespectful. That would not help the community out.
