Need help with GPU plotting



  • I am getting the name/size missmatch error when I try to mine. I used plot checker and it says I need to delete and replot.

    file: 6362941140589198673_0_14860288_14860288 need to delete and replot
    C:\Users\Jason>c:\PlotsChecker G:\Burst\plots

    file: 6362941140589198673_14860288_14860288_14860288 need to delete and replot
    C:\Users\Jason>c:\PlotsChecker G:\Burst\plots

    So my question is, what did I do wrong? I will paste my GPU plot bat files below that I am using to do this, I am very new to Burstcoin and was able to plot mine with the AIO wallet but I just got 11 4TB hard drives and the AIO wallet is to slow to plot them, I just used GPU and got 2x4TB drives done in 14hrs.

    Here are my .bat files. I need to change them a bit as well cause it left 98GB of free space on each so I will have to make this: 14860288 more like this: 15208704 but what else is wrong with the below? Why am I getting name/size missmatch and need to delete and replot.

  • @Jason83 you are running the plotschecker on the wrong folder
    g:\Burst\plots (plotschecker)
    g:\plots\ (plot files)



  • Ok just rewrote my bat files but I still feel I will get the same error. Can someone please check these and offer advice as to why this would give name/size missmatch and what needs changed or was is just a bad plot session that I should just try again and it should be fine.

  • @iKnow0 no I changed the plot to the Burst\plots folder (just didn't have that in the bat file) - this was my first issue getting plot checker to work and the miner to see the plots but I have fixed that.



  • @Jason83 you just need to run the plotchecker on the correct folder, it might be able to fix them

    run it for each drive, you may or may not have to re-plot

    plotschecker g:\Burst\plots



  • I just tried again, here are the results:

    C:\Users\Jason>cd ..

    C:\Users>cd ..

    C:>plotschecker f:\Burst\plots

    file: 6362941140589198673_0_14860288_14860288_16384 need to delete and replot
    C:>plotschecker g:\Burst\plots

    file: 6362941140589198673_14860288_14860288_14860288 need to delete and replot

    So it seems I need to delete them, and that is no biggie, I just want to see what I did wrong with my .bat files that would have caused this issue to when I hit plot again today I do not get the same issue.



  • I think I just fixed it, for some reason it is naming my pots in an odd way that the miner + the checker cannot understand. I changed the names an re-ran the checker and this is the results:

    C:>plotschecker g:\Burst\plots

    file: 6362941140589198673_14860288_14860288_16384 renamed to 6362941140589198673_14860288_14843904_16384

    file: 6362941140589198673_0_14843904_16384 truncated to 3891240370176 bytes

    EDIT: Yes this did fix it, I was able to start mining now without error but @36 sec so kinda slow for plotting in direct mode (should have optimized and plotted). So I am optimizing the plot files now, should I just not use direct mode as it is not working? Is the other way faster?


  • admin

    @Jason83 Your bat file looks fine, but the filname/filesize mis match means the plotter didn't complete. gpu direct plots cannot be fixed by the plot checker. Delete the named bad plots and start again, and watch for any errors during the plotting process.



  • @haitch Thank you! I am currently re-plotting the drives. When it completed I didn't see any errors last time, but I will pay closer attention this time lol.
