@CoinBuster, Would you tell me the advantages you see for installing pyopencl?
My GPU (GEforce 750TI) has similar specs. as your GPU. Did you install any additional
repos. (i.e- Cuda, etc.) as help for plotting/mining?
I am interested in system details for Linux based setups (successful and not). I did succeed onces
with a very slow setup which took 5 days to plot only to stop when it hit what seems to the 5TB
drive capacity which was derived from inaccurate input.
Thanks again for any help you can give.

@haitch, Yes I downloaded version 367.57 which is supposed to be the latest for Ubuntu 16.04.
Here is platforms o and devices output:

RE: gpuPlotGen error - need helpposted in Mining & Plotting
@haitch, I have in devices.txt: 0 0 2048 256 8192.
However, when I tried to do ./.... setup I get the same error message.
I also looked at AMDAPPSDK-3.0 the .sh setup log and didn't see any errors there.
Seems the part in the plotter that uses the id's in order to run the program is failing?
The listDevices and listPlatforms 0 work fine.
Will continue to work on this.
Thanks for your help. -

RE: My mining Rig set up with pictures!posted in Mining & Plotting
@Burstminer, nice set up!! I am interested in CPU (brand, speed, memory), motherboard (brand, memory), OS, PSU. Looking for information about rigs
in order to make best decision for my purchase. Also, if you recall software used for plotting/mining (n/min figures) would be appreciated.@Blago, great idea.
Thanks

RE: Everybody Post Their MINING RIGS! Show Photosposted in General Discussion
To All,
Thought the hardware side of the equation gets the job done, my interest at this time is 'What aspects of PoC did you
use to determine what hardware to throw at plotting/mining?" In other words what parts of the discussion in scientific papers
(Burstcoin white paper) or forum discussions made you choose the components you use?What made you choose the CPU to have an efficient plotting/mining rig?
- CPU (Intel, AMD, Mac)
- Cores (2, 4, etc.)
- Speed (? MHz)
- ETC.
Same question for the HDD, Graphic Card(s), Motherboard, Software
- Graphic Card (Nvidia, Radeon, other)
- Memory (?GB)
- Read/Write speeds
- ETC.
All these decisions play an important part along with the Burst protocol to build a rig that uses the plotting/mining to its
best advantage-even the software you use is important. Any help you can give or maybe point me in th right Direction
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks -

RE: Manual plotting - question about nonces and rangesposted in Mining & Plotting
@haitch Thanks for your quick reply.
If that is correct, is there anything I can do at this point?
If I need to start again, what % of drive capacity would you suggest?

RE: Linux plotting helpposted in Mining & Plotting
I have been using the updated version of DCCT - the MDCCT plotter and have had a problem.
The plotter has slowed to a crawl or stopped altogether at 95% complete. My drive is 5TB with a GeForce GTX 750 TI graphics card.Here is input to start:
./plot -k xxxxxxxxxxxxx587 -x 1 -d /media/imbota/burst/ -s 0
Working output:
Using SSE2 core.
Creating plots for nonces 0 to 18907000 (4959 GB) using 12775 MB memory and 4 threads

RE: dcct optimize plot problem linux/ubuntuposted in Help & Support
@ccminer, Hello again
I have been plotting using MDCCT for about 6 days. The plotting is about finished and I am looking for optimization. Did you find an answer to this problem?

RE: Manual plotting - question about nonces and rangesposted in Mining & Plotting
@Propagandalf I have the same setup. Are Linux or Windows? I am using Ubuntu and did not fair well with gpuPlotGenerator in Linux environment.
If you are in Linux, would you go into some detail as to how you setup your system (drive sizes, devices.txt, numbers for generation)? I am interested
in comparing your setup with mine. I am using cpu MDCCT and getting 2048 n/m (very slow) because it is the best I can do.
Thanks for any help you can give. -
RE: Interpret Generate Plot Readoutposted in Mining & Plotting
@haitch Thanks for the info. Wow
A couple of questions - have you seen any research on the best GPU setup when it come to plotting and mining? We plot at different rates, does that
go for mining as well?
Also, if I let the plotter run to completion and went to mining, do you thing my mining would be as slow to the same degree as my plotting?
Is a new GPU needed in my situation?Thanks again

Interpret Generate Plot Readoutposted in Mining & Plotting
Hello all,
I have an AMD cpu w/16 GB RAM running on Ubuntu 16.04, gpu can be seen from below w/2 GB mem. When I go to 'Generate' plots this is the terminal readout:****imbota@rpi:~/Downloads/crypto/burstcoin$ ./gpuPlotGenerator generate buffer /media/imbota/burst/.......587_0_19712400_8192

The question I have is - can anyone interpret what the readout shows as far as cpu memory? Why is cpu mem. shown 3 times in 3 different configurations. What does this all
relate too?
I have been trying for some time to plot a 5TB drive with no success. I have looked on B-T & Github as well as Google. The best I can get is 1024 n/min. Wanted to know if readout could help me.
Thanks for any help. -

How do these #'s compare? Do you know if adjustments can be made while plotting is going on?
Thanks for all your help - could not have made it without your expert help! -

RE: GPU plot generator v4.1.1 (Win/Linux)posted in Plotter
@ccminer I did name my computer 'imbota' and the drive 'burst'. If I say the path is /media/imbota/burst/ do I need to add something after burst/ for the plot file name (plots, coin, etc.)?
When I go to my Files in Ubuntu and select 'burst' drive I get a pop-up that shows /media/imbota/burst-I assume this is the path to the drive. Since my burst files are on another drive (1st HHD) does this have an affect?I read in a forum where someone had this problem and placed the burst files on the drive to plot-the problem went away.
In the Readme at the section on Generate it states:
Example usage:
./gpuPlotGenerator generate buffer /path/to/files/123456_0_50000_5000The part /path/to/files/ confuses me. It seems to say the program will be looking for 'files' in order to place info? Am I wrong?
Above you say "...., so I just command the plotter to create the plot file there". How did you do this?
Thanks for your help.
