Plot Optimizer v1.6 with GUI 1.0.3-j6jq (Win) [Not for XPlotter]
-
Not sure if it hidden in the instructions somewhere but just wanted to say that you can express the files to be Optimised with a wildcard (F:\Burst\Plots\*) and then all the plots in that directory will be processed in turn.
Only problem is that only the first plot is correctly reported in the GUI. You have to rely on checking the Optimised directory for when optimising is complete.

@luxe What to use for linux ubuntu?
-
I am still not able to get this to work. I have tried all kinds of RAM settings, there is no info that appears in the corner, and no process that launches in task manager. Nothing simply happens when I press the optimize button. I am using Windows 10.
EDIT
I am able to plot using the command line, but the GUI on the picture would not work.

@luxe Having the same issue on Windows 7

If GUI why ever is not working ... only chance is use command line ... i did not write this software ... sources for gui not available ... i just posted it here so it does not get lost.
For me it works flawless on Win8, both gui and command line.

do i have to run defrag after i optimize one plot ?
-
@Rendavu Quite sure that is not needed ... if you for example optimize one drive to another, the target drive should not be fragmented at all.
-
@luxe thank you!

So I have an interesting question that hopefully Blago or another DEV can answer. How does a miner (GPUMiner, JMiner, etc...) determine if a plot file is optimized or not? The 64 byte reads for each scoop are in different spots of the plot file depending if the file is optimized or not. There is no header information in a plot to define if it is optimized or not. How does the mining software know?
Thanks,

@IceBurst The stagger size in the filename tells the miner what section to mine.
-
I thought Stagger represents the maximum amount of memory to allocate while mining, I don't know how that can determine the layout of a plot file. I'll go review the process work flow and see if I can figure it out by carefully reviewing the stagger.
Thanks,

@IceBurst The stagger shows how the scoops are laid out for each nonce - with a stagger of one it's 1 2 3 4 ... with a stagger of two it's 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 ... stagger of three - 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 ...in a fully optimized plot, where stagger = # of nonces, all the x scoops are sequential.

Ah got it, also see.... https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/2486/at-which-stagger-size-is-optimization-no-longer-needed
I'm just going to apply a stagger to the miner. Interesting though is people XPlot with a stagger that blows up the phone. I might be able to prevent it though.-IceBurst

@IceBurst Stagger shouldn't really matter for the mobile miners, assuming it's all flash - there is no seek time, you can read any offset in the same time. It's on mechanical HDD where you have to seek to a new location that it's an issue.

Sometimes I overlook the obvious.....

@IceBurst Many times the obvious isn't all that obvious ......

@luxe i need help. when i try to open the ".jar" file it opens up winrar. what do i need to do? Thank you.
-
@easygisi01 Try 'right click' ... choose 'open with ...' and select java platform, you may have assigned winrar as standard application for jar.

I keep getting this msg when I try to optimize my plots File not complete, (Expected size: 498073600000, actual size: 490112128000). It is a 500gb drive, this is how I have the optimizer setup: path to optimized file D:\burst\plots\accnt#_0_1900000_38000, Path to folder that will contain optimized plot file: G:\burst\plots\optimized, ram amount is set at 1gb. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks :)

@redrum78 seems your plot incomplete, try check it by PlotsChecker https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/348/plotschecker
