  I too am having plotting problems. I am trying to plot a 5TB drive and have been following the 'Burstcoin documentattion for GNU/Linux by Kartojal' and also have 14 burstcoins. I am now trying to do plotter setup from 'Readme' file from MDCCT Plotter/.../... from 'Bitcoin Documentation by Kartojal'.

  Here is the first Linux section of the plotter setup instructions:

  Linux

  Install the build-essential and g++ packets.
  Install OpenCL (available in the manufacturer SDKs).
  You may have to install the opencl headers ([apt-get install opencl-headers] on Ubuntu).

  Modify the [PLATFORM] variable to one of [32] or [64] depending on the target platform.
  Modify the [OPENCL_INCLUDE] and [OPENCL_LIB] variables of the Makefile to the correct path.
  Example:

  OPENCL_INCLUDE = /opt/AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1/include
  OPENCL_LIB = /opt/AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1/lib/x86_64

  When I enter './gpuPlotGenerator listPlatforms' and run it this is the error message:

  Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-version.c: 224: _dl_check_map_versions: Assertion `needed != ((void *)0)' failed!

  I have done the first and third items from above, but I am new to Linux and don't understand how to set variables or what the above lines mean. Can anyone help with this?
  Thanks

  see below. its not possible to overlap because it uses your AccountID + Nonce rather than just Nonce's to calculate your shares.

  @neatcrypto.com

  Choose one based on your tb size, which fees you are comfortable paying, and which one you are going to stick with for a long time.

  @BURSTguy said in Surfbar or mining ?:

  Is the surbar currently paying out? I've had 2,000+ surf point in there for a couple of days now...doesn't seem to be paying out?

  Patience young padawan, sometimes it takes a while but it will be paid eventually (in my case)
  although i don't have surfbar running atm

  JMiner Error Could Not Load OpenCL.dll, error 193

  @vile Glad you could solve the issue, just to clarify ... the OpenCL.dll is part of your GPU-Driver. Maybe the Win10 update had removed the path where to find dll from environment and this was repaired by re-install/update GPU driver.

  @weaveR Excellent! Glad you got it worked out. You will hit more deadlines now on quick blocks and get more shares!

  @jacobus1980 Look for your Address on the Pool and see if there are a number with a D+ on them. That will be your payout.

  @Gadrah_ Ran the checker and did have one that needed renamed so that is now fixed. We shall see on this next block if I'm still getting any errors. Everything else seems to be doing just fine though.

  @mcchurchmouse Hey, very interesting discussion here. You should find answers to some of your question in the official website : https://www.burst-team.us/index.php/about/
  If you want to get into the real technical stuff, you have the whitepaper of the Proof of Space algorithm here : http://web.burst-team.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Uni_Warsaw_Uni_Bochum_IST_Austria_Proof_Of_Space.pdf

  Ok, the first batch of errors is because you are trying to switch pools faster than the system can update your records. Give it a little time, they say an average of 4 blocks with a block being an average of 4 minutes (though I've seen 2 second blocks and I've seen 52 minute blocks). The second post of errors is the pool telling you that you need to change your pools reward account which you were trying to do in the previous post. I think you are on the right track just moving too fast.

  @superskid
  What is an optimised plot?
  It is a plot with the stagger size the size of the plot. This means the miner can read the data as it is placed next to each other. It is not a big deal on SSDs, but on a HHD it can make the HHD needle jump from 1 section to the other without having to. Thus increasing seek time.

  If you create 1 optimised plot you are reading from one end to another. While it is doing it will send it finding to the pool.

  If you create 2 optimised plots instead of just one, it is like creating 1 plot with a stagger size half of the size. Imagine only optimising half the plot (Not really, but you get the idea)

  if you are able to, create 1 big plot with a high stagger size it is preferred. Optimising is just making the stagger size as big as it can go.

  Edit: If you are more interested in optimised plots, look in my FAQ section. It got pictures!

  @botan AVX stands for Advanced Vector Extensions, a fancy way to say a CPU has extra inbuilt commands. If a CPU has this option it can run the miner code in a faster way than the standard. OpenCL refers to the (Java GPU Miner: jMiner). Since this uses the GPU as well as CPU it is the faster of the three miners.
