    please could help me generate a plot correctly?
    already own some plots generated more cpu is giving error

    Thank you very much in advance



  • @trincaxt By looking at the last picture you uploaded, it looks like you found at least one deadline (dl confirmed), but your plots are overlapped. In the same picture, you can actually see a link to where you can find a "plot overlap checker" tool. Maybe you could try that and see if it can "fix" them.

    Are you having other problems than overlapping plots when generating your plots? If yes, post the contents of your jminer.properties file, please.

  • I created a plot of 48 gb with cpu from the copies I have 15 files



  • This post is deleted!

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by this, could you please explain?



  • I'm sorry, more and what has here

  • @trincaxt Picture/question 1: I have an extra file in my folder, looks like you are missing something. @luxe Should he rename that file, create a new jminer.properties and fill out his plotting values there? I'm a bit confused.

    Picture/question 2: Have you created one plot file and then copied it to make more plots? That's what it looks like, and that will not work. You have to create each plot file, and you need to configure them so that their nonces don't overlap. Here you can read about plot overlapping: http://forums.burst-team.us:4567/topic/288/plots-101/5.

    Each time you create new plot files, you must start your next nonce after the last nonce on your previous plot file.

    Example of setup:

    4401562696129194441 - replace with your numeric account ID
    106430464 - nonce to start at, do not overlap (if this is your first plot use 0)
    7618560 - number of nonces to plot, must be a multiple of the stagger (the next field)
    16384 - stagger, where each unit represents 256 KB of memory, which in this case totals 4 GB (4096 MB)

    Example output: gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate direct u:\4401562696129194441_106430464_7618560_16384



  • Friend the above example would create a file which size?

  • forgive me but so much Newbie ,
    I would leave a 460GB full HD and another 240 gb + 200 gb that the dedicated S.O everything to MINING intend to acquire some more hard drives , but noticed q the creation of plots , and very time consuming , the solution would be to create several smaller files then ?



  • @trincaxt From this picture http://prnt.sc/c7ybdo I see that you have wrong stagger size. You wrote somewhere that you had 8 GB of RAM, so you should base your stagger size on that. If you adjust your stagger to use more RAM, then the plotting should go faster. Maybe something I wrote earlier can help:

    Finding stagger (the next blockbuster film from CryptoPixar)
    1: Find out how much RAM is available in your system (remember that even though you have for example 8 GB of ram installed, you might already be using 3 GB for other processes, which leaves you with 5 GB available). RAM should not be confused with NVRAM, which is your graphics card's dedicated memory, and is not part of this equation.*

    2: Decide how much of your available RAM to dedicate to plotting, for instance 4 out of 5 GB of available RAM.

    3: Understand that 1 stagger is a unit measure of 256 KB of RAM memory. Therefore, if you want to run an exact calculation to understand the conversion from memory to stagger, you need to find out how many KB the 4 GB of RAM you want to use consists of (break the numbers down to smaller units). 4 GB equals 4096 MB equals 4194304 KB.

    4194304 KB (RAM) divided by 256 (stagger unit measure) equals 16384 (stagger). This will be your correct value for stagger, based on the above example from section 1 and 2.

    4: Know that it is easier to simply find out your amount of available RAM in MB and multiply it by 4 (4096 x 4 = 16384).

    5: If you decide to plot several files at once, you need to divide your stagger by the number of files being plotted. For two plot files it would be 16384 stagger divided by 2 equals 8192 per plot file.

    6: Start plotting if you have got the other values worked out.

    Nonces
    I can't remember the calculations to find out how many nonces you need to put in order to get a certain amount of GB. @haitch @luxe could any of you assist please?

    Further explanation
    So, I will mark in bold each section of the example setup to explain which is what:
    gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate direct u:\4401562696129194441_106430464_7618560_16384 is stagger

    gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate direct u:\4401562696129194441_106430464_7618560_16384 is amount of nonces you wish to plot (must be a multiple of stagger)

    gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate direct u:\4401562696129194441_106430464_7618560_16384 is which nonce you wish to start from (0 if it's your first plot, otherwise choose 1 digit more than where your previous plot stops. Ask if you don't know how to figure that out.)

    gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate direct u:\4401562696129194441_106430464_7618560_16384 For some reason I couldn't make the corresponding section bold here, but the first one is your numeric account ID

    I am no expert, but hope that helps.

    Creating smaller files won't necessarily boost the plotting process, except that you will finish each file quicker. I would recommend for example plotting each file with 500 GB, so that if you need extra space for something else later, then you can just delete one of the plot files without deleting all your plots (if you only plotted one huge file).

    @JohnathanMoura made a tool for that:

    @luxe Should he rename that file, create a new jminer.properties and fill out his plotting values there? I'm a bit confused.

    It's stupid windows hiding file extensions:

  • I could create with success thanks the plots are now able to set the java that windows to wheel the wallet with the miner more from already thank all q helped

    already installed reinstalled java x64 x32 i586 and resolves nothing

    @trincaxt - This is an error about your browser - your IE is too old run windows updates.



  • @haitch thanks my bro, w10 I run perfectly
