RE: 80TB Plotting and Optimise more efficient way?posted in Mining & Plotting
@Rodrigogmail You can run multiple instances of xplotter concurrently with no problem. What i7 do you have (how many threads does it have)? For each instance, you'll just need to manage the # of threads and amount of RAM used. E.g. if you have 8 threads and 16gb RAM, I'd suggest plotting 3 or 4 drives in parallel, each with 2 threads and 2-4gb of RAM.
For nonces, you need to tell xplotter what nonce to start at, but not the number of nonces to plot:
XPlotter_avx.exe -id 16098533444009108472 -sn 287305992 -n 0 -t 4 -path N:\plots -mem 12GFor each new drive you start, you'll need to adjust the -sn parameter so it starts on the nonce after your last plotted one. If you want to simply fill the entire drive as much as possible, leave the -n parameter as 0.
Something like the below will be your sequence:
Plot1 config = XPlotter_avx.exe -id 16098533444009108472 -sn 0 -n 0 -t 4 -path D:\plots -mem 12G
Plot1 name = 16098533444009108472_0_7629376_7629376plot2 config = XPlotter_avx.exe -id 16098533444009108472 -sn 7629376 -n 0 -t 4 -path E:\plots -mem 12G
Plot 2 name = 16098533444009108472_7629376_15260544_15260544Thus, the -sn for plot 3's config will be (plot2's startNonce + plot2's #ofNonces) = 7629376 + 15260544

RE: What is the best external drive?posted in General Discussion
@ShakeAndBake-xD For externals, I've got mostly Seagate backup plus drives. They're slow, but take up little space and work really well so far. Also a few WD MyBook, which have been performing well and plotted quickly if I remember right.

RE: Are there ways to improve number of Burst gained?posted in Help & Support
@Agabus274 Ya, especially with smaller capacity miners, the variability between day to day can be huge. Just wait it out. Otherwise, adding capacity is really the only way to improve # of Burst gained. :D

RE: 100TB Burst rig questionsposted in System Builds and other hardware stuff.
@Dtrade16 said in 100TB Burst rig questions:
This is a great community and an interesting project. I've heard people using their CPU to mine as well so I may start off with that first and see how it goes.
I broke my CPU cooler and I'm in the process of getting a new one. As soon as I do, I will get this loner desktop up and running and get a better understanding of everything.Ya, this is a good idea. Get a feel for the different tools used in plotting and see how it goes. From there, you'll be in a much better state for building an actual hdd rig.
Personally, I prefer optimized drives (meaning the stagger is the same size as the plot, increases read speeds). The cpu plotter creates these automatically. The gpu plotter unfortunately doesn't, so you would need to run a second long-running program to optimize them. For this reason alone, I prefer to let my gpus do altcoin mining and I just plot with my i7-5930k.

RE: Difficulti is going to high and to fastposted in Mining & Plotting
@rattle99 Ya probably not. But to be honest, the chances of $5/burst is extremely slim. The supply is simply too high and the coin only has so many uses behind it to drive demand.
I'm sure we'll address fees if needed in the future though.

RE: Relation between deadline and plot sizeposted in Mining & Plotting
@natsaba It's not a direct relationship. Finding deadlines really is "finding".
You could have a 1MB plot size and still find a 10 second deadline. However, having 500TB plot size will increase your chances of finding a 10 second deadline to be much much higher.
Thus it can be said, in Burst mining, higher capacity equals higher "hash rate".

RE: Difficulti is going to high and to fastposted in Mining & Plotting
@rattle99 said in Difficulti is going to high and to fast:
Yes, can we not expect a fork and increase the total number of coins issued?
Also, if in future the price of burst does get higher, people will not want to pay 1BURST as fee everytime.
Changing any of the monetary aspects (such as coin supply) is typically a very bad idea. It changes all the figures for anyone who invested anything in the coin before the change, and usually not for the better.
Supply is very high with burst. I doubt we'll ever see fees less than 1. There's only a handful years left of mining fresh coins anyway. We'll need descent fees to incentivize continued mining.

@ccminer lol look at that epic profit swing on the graph :D
Still stoked to be a bag holder!

[Wallet Feature Request] - Transaction historyposted in Development
Transaction history is a little short (imo) in the Transactions view. Can we add this to the dev backlog please?
Requirement:
The Burst wallet software shall support displaying the entire transaction history of the authenticated wallet address within the "Transactions" view.
Comment: Suggested design choices:- Drop-down menu with #of transactions to display (e.g. 50, 100, 200, All)
- Implement "page-selector" control, such that users can "page through" transaction history (e.g. 100 transactions/page)
Criticality: Low (I'm assuming, as this is only UI work)
Priority: Low (I'd like to say medium :D )A dev comment (or similar) to confirm would be tits. Thanks!
