RE: creepMiner - C++ Burst Miner (based on Uray's Miner)posted in Miner
Thanks Haitch, that clears things up.
Basically I didn't want to spend on drives if there was something else I could do to speed things up first.
Better go out this afternoon and buy myself at least 4TB of extra space.

RE: creepMiner - C++ Burst Miner (based on Uray's Miner)posted in Miner
Thanks Haitch, I'm going to buy a new drive (maybe today), but I'm trying to figure out if it is just drive capacity that I'm lacking or if its also a speed thing.
Should I get a USB 3 port upgrade or is USB2 enough?
Should I not bother with external drive (USB2 is all my PC has) and instead hook them up using Sata 2
Is it worth upgrading my motherboard to one that has SATA 3?
Appreciate everyone's help!

Thank you Creepsky!
Can I ask another question, I'm CPU mining with an i7 and 3 drives (2 internal) 1 external (usb2).
I have forged 2 blocks in just over 2 weeks but most of my deadlines are being found at 20+ days or longer.
Would faster drives help or am I going to need a GPU?
Does CreepMiner use the GPU automatically? or is there a setting I missed?
Cheers!

RE: Brand New.... Fresh starter..... Learning as i goposted in Introduce Yourself
I'm mining on Linux Mint Cinnamon 64 bit with no GPU.
Suggest you use CreepMiner to do the mining
creepMiner 1.5.2 Unix x64
Github: https://github.com/Creepsky/creepMiner
And use dcct to do plotting and optimizing
https://github.com/Mirkic7/mdcct
Have fun

@scprv55 I assume you mean the numbers on the pool website.
It looks like this:nU + nQ + nD + n
U: sent, but not confirmed yet
Q: will be sent later
D: not enough yet to payout, need to mine more (or longer)
n: total sent and confirmedThanks Creepsky.
I've done my plots and optimized (most of) them, but to be able to optimize I had to do the plots in small sections rather than plotting each drive as one big plot.
I've got 3 HDs, and they are all pretty slow
12:52:19: Dir /media/sean/1TB Internal/plots read (4 files, 870.00 GB total) in 3.477s (~62.55 MB/s)
12:52:19: Dir /media/sean/500 GB External/plots read (3 files, 460.00 GB total) in 3.762s (~30.57 MB/s)
12:52:21: Dir /media/sean/2TB Internal/plots read (6 files, 1.49 TB total) in 5.350s (~71.26 MB/s)Would it be better to plot each drive as one plot and not bother with optimizing? Or doesn't it matter that the drives are made up of smaller plots?

Hi @scprv55 and thank you, hope you like the miner :)
The error you see is on the server side (502 Bad Gateway) - most likely the server is under heavy load or under a DoS attack.
It can be, that you will get 9 from 10 times an error, and 1 time the actual mining info. As long as you get it, everything is ok.
If you really want to, you can change"miningInfo" : "http://pool.burstcoin.party:8081/"to another location that is not under heavy load (for examplehttps://wallet.burst-team.us:8125), but then it can be, that your mining info is not in sync with the pool.To activate the webinterface you need to change
"serverUrl" : "http://192.168.0.100:8080"to your local ip. If you want to use it only on the computer where the miner is running, you can uselocalhost:8080(or some other free port instead of8080).Thanks Creepsky, yes I like the miner very much :-)
Maybe not the right place to ask this but when I'm mining what do these numbers mean 5D + 199 ?
Thanks for clarifying to use localhost for the web interface.

Hi Creepsky45,
I've just started using your miner (on Linux Mint 64bit), first I want to thank you for developing this software! Thank you!
Secondly, I'm seeing some errors now and then and I'd like to know if my config is optimal.
I have 12 plot files spread over 3 drives (total of 2.6 TB)
Here is my log file showing the errors.

RE: Wich pool shoud i take ?posted in Mining & Plotting
The discord link in your sig doesn't work.
What deadline should I set if I want to try your pool?
Thanks

RE: Mining with Linux and more than one HDD. For each HDD an new instance of the mining programm ?posted in Help & Support
I guess you mean your tax department. I don't have to pay any tax if the money comes from outside my country.
I'm more concerned with doing the work and the pool owner keeping the coins I helped to find.
Anyway, at the moment I am not mining because I'm plotting more and optimizing the plots
How are you getting on?

RE: Mining with Linux and more than one HDD. For each HDD an new instance of the mining programm ?posted in Help & Support
Hi dude, I am only trying pool mining. I started with pool.burst-team.us and actually got 22 burst, but I then switched to burstneon.ddns.net and so far nothing. They have a chat and some guys are quite helpful but there is nothing with these mining pools to show that you are working until you get some burst from them to show it wasn't just time being wasted.
I'm now mining with 1.18 TB and I'll and I'll add more when I know that for sure my mining is being counted.
I agree with you that there is no security as to who we are mining for, basically a lot of trust.
Hope you are doing well

RE: Mining with Linux and more than one HDD. For each HDD an new instance of the mining programm ?posted in Help & Support
I'm not sure why the drive is NTFS, I think maybe because once upon a time it needed to work with a windows machine (external drive)
I'm running the latest version of Mint so I guess that is 18.1
I've plotted 1.18 TB and I'm trying to mine on burstneon but I'm still not sure it is working.....
Kind of frustrating, but I guess eventually I'll get it.
Couple of questions....
once my miner is running can I close my web based wallet https://wallet.burst-team.us:8125/index.html ??
Also can I close the pool website http://burstneon.ddns.net/ ??
Or do I have to keep those windows open all the time?
So much of this stuff is just not made clear and the documentation is really vague.

RE: Mining with Linux and more than one HDD. For each HDD an new instance of the mining programm ?posted in Help & Support
Thank you for the excellent advice re: plotting.
Your suggestion to use a spreadsheet is very clever, I will do that using Google Sheets.
I spent (wasted) the last few days trying to plot a 1TB drive. It would get to 4.3GB then stop. This morning I decided to try plotting more space on my 2TB drive and that went smoothly, so I thought maybe there is something wrong with the 1TB drive.
Turns out plotting works on NTFS formatted drives but will not work on FAT formatted drives. So I need to reformat the 1TB to NTFS first.
I am using Linux Mint Cinnamon 64bit.
Cheers

RE: Mining with Linux and more than one HDD. For each HDD an new instance of the mining programm ?posted in Help & Support
Creepminer seems to be working fine for me, but I have a problem understanding the settings for doing plots.
Specifically what do I use as settings when I want to make a new plot for a new drive?
These were the settings I used for my first test plot
./plot -k 10747524060435184832 -x 2 -d /media/sean/2TB/plots -s 0 -n 2048000 -m 4096 -t 3
Using original algorithm.
Creating plots for nonces 0 to 2048000 (537 GB) using 1024 MB memory and 3 threadsIf I now want to plot another drive (950 GB) what should I change? Below is the same config but with the new drive path, I just don't understand what I should put for -s & -n for the next drive.
./plot -k 10747524060435184832 -x 2 -d /media/sean/5623-92A3/plots -s 0 -n 2048000 -m 4096 -t 3
