Release 1.5.2 is fantastic! I've been running it for a little over a week now, and it's been rock solid. Thank you again!

@Creepsky Thank you! I'll give it a try and report back.
Thank you again for your work on this.

RE: XPlotter for optimized plots (CPU)posted in Plotter
I'm just starting out with Burstcoin and my plan is to mine using 10TB. Right now, I'm plotting simultaneously on two vastly different machines. Both are writing to identical 1TB drives. One is a home-built PC with a 3-core AMD A6-3500 and 8GB of ram:

The other is an HP workstation with dual E5-2670s and 64GB of ram:

Quite a difference. :-D
As others have experienced, the bottleneck on the HP is write speed, and watching that has me wondering about how RAM and threads affect performance.
I get that the amount of RAM allocated to plotting determines the stagger size. So then is the stagger the number of nonces generated per pass ("Generating nonces from xxxxxxx to yyyyyyy")? So the more RAM allocated, the more nonces created per pass? And then the number of threads and processor speed determines how fast nonces are generated?
Thank you blago for your work on this. And thank you to everyone else contributing. I've been digging through the forums for the past few days trying to wrap my head around all this and have found a ton of great info here. I hope to be up and mining by the weekend.
