Help with mining Error Code 5 and other problems



  • Hello new to mining and would appreciate any help i can get, ran for 2 days and failed to receive a coin. I dont think i have it setup correctly two problems that i know of

    (1) Not sure if reward assignment is working
    (2) Name/Size mismatch when miner is running.

    My wallet address it BURST-47JM-ME8G-9MNK-DUPM6

    Always have this error code 5. I have set reward and recipient multiple times, waited for confirmation ect. I am trying to use burst.ninja pool and tried the following to fix it myself after reading forums.

    • I have sent/received coins

    • I downloaded full blockchain for local wallet

    • I have waited for 10 confirms after i changed the settings.

    • Tried to set reward using online page and wallet
      https://wallet.burst-team.us:8125/rewardassignment.html
      (not sure if it matters but if i put my account in first box for "Get reward recipient:
      Account:" i get the error :{"errorDescription":"Incorrect "account"","errorCode":4} )

    This is what it looks like when i mine with the first option

    This is what the avx miner does alt text



  • Looks like the plotting is not complete

    You have two options

    1. Replot the drive(Delete and create a new plot)
    2. Ignore this error and continue with mining(miningworks on the valid plots)

    PS: This answer is copy of the mod in this forum



  • OK thank you for the advice, i will give re-plotting the drive a try tonight.

    Will this fix my reward recipient or is this another issue? If some of the plots were working does it make sense i have received 0 coins from mining for 2 days?

    @cocobball You're mining window looks good. You have no error code 5!

    The red line you get is because one of your plot file got cut off by less then 1%. You can replot with the newest Win Client (released yesterday) - where this bug is fixed. Or you can leave it. It is no big deal... just ignore the warning.



  • Thanks for reply but i still feel like something is wrong. Been mining for almost 3 days(950gb) and have not mined a single burst. The calculator says I should get well over 100 a day.

    Im using the burst.ninja mining pool, should i be using a different pool? seems to be paying out others

    @cocobball Given you have a small plot, pool.burst-team.us is probably better suited for you. Ninja has a much stricter deadline limit, so you'll get more accepted deadlines on burst-team.us.



  • ok i will give it a try thank you.

    I thought i was finishing the blocks

  • cocobball how did you get this window up???



  • Its open CL miner.

    I think mine looks different because i expanded the window from default.

    Run cmd.exe.
    Click on the icon in the upper left hand of the screen.
    Select Properties.
    Select the Layout tab.
    Set the buffer and window widths to whatever you like.
    Click OK.
    Select Save Properties for future...
    Click OK.

    Also thanks for the help with my problem. I ran the miner last night with Haitch suggestion to switch pools and I actually made some burst. Thanks to all who helped

    Everything is fine with your mining.
    As you can see, the deadlines you find (dl) are skipped quite often.
    This is because burst.ninja does only accept quite low deadlines.
    If you would mine on burst-team ... more deadlines will be committed.

    Finish block means, the miner completely scanned your plotfiles and is waiting for next block.
