Round time and mining efficiency - advice please
-
First, thank you for the fast reply. With the AVX I have around 27sec round time, so that is definitely worse. A regular miner does the same as this, also around 21-22 sec. It is very possible that I could not figure out the best settings for it. What should I try to change in the configuration? And as for the memory usage? Where could be the problem? Today is not my best day in mining, I thing that I would have done better from the faucets :)
-
@haitch Would running PlotChecker for each plot help reduce the 22 seconds?
Welcome to Burst @Jackk78!
-
@socalguy If there are no errors in the miner, then plot check won't help - there's nothing to fix.
@Jackk78 I assume the external drive is connected via USB 2.0? It's going to be a little slower, but 22 seconds is still okay. Internal drives will be much faster.
If you look in Task Manager -> Processes, and sort by memory, what's using all the RAM ?
-
@haitch There are no errors with the miner, I believe that it works fine. Yes, it is connected via 2.0 USB. The most of the ram is used by javaw, svchost and java. These 3 are the most hungry.
-
@Jackk78 Win7?
-
@Jackk78
this is how the miner looks like
-
@Dario's-wallet
yes
-
@Jackk78 win 7 could be the issue - I've got three instances of the jMiner (OpenCL miner) running on my Win 10 box, and the largest is using 350MB. I'm a little surprised you've got java.exe and javaw.exe running - I'd have expected just java.
-
@Jackk78 Did you Try Blago's miner ?
-
@Castiel
no, I have not tried that yet, but i will
-
@Jackk78 Blagos miner are the Default/AVX miners in the AIO - so yes, you did try them :)
-
@haitch
ok... I will connect the hdd to my laptop, which is running on win10. it is not as powerful as my desktop, but maybe it will run better.
-
@haitch
:) than yes. As I have said, I am new to all this and I have no idea what am I doing :) I am glad that I managed to get this far. :)
-
does everything look ok from the printscr? is it working as it should, under the given circumstances (win7, high mem usage, so on)?
-
@Jackk78 It looks okay - but until you increase the size of your plots I'd consider a different pool. with 2TB you'll not find a lot of deadlines on the burst-team pool.
-
@haitch
yes, I know that I have to change the poll.
thank you guys for all your support and advice. it was a pleasure meeting a united, strong and helpful community. whish you all the best.

Hello again guys. It seams I have a problem and I dont know what to do anymore, so I need your help. I changed my external hdd from one computer to another, I opened a new wallet, changed the reward assignment to a new pool, but after more than 30 min and around 6 or 7 blocks, I still get the error : failed to submit nonce to pool, error code: 1004 - burst accounts reward recipient does not match pool`s account . I tried with pool.burstcoin.biz (the 1 BurstCoin was credited from my account), and after 1 hour, still the same error. I changed than to pool.burstcoin.eu, still the same error ( 2 BurstCoins were credited from my account, because i tried to change 2 times in the past hour) and still the same error. Why is this not working? thx
-
@Jackk78 Did you create a new plot file? (plot files are specific to each wallet)
-
no, i created a new wallet on the other computer.
-
@Jackk78 I recently moved over to a new pool and was getting the same error as you. It took what felt like forever (3 hours I think) to get it going. You might want to retry and submit the reward assignment.
Oh, did you download and install a new db file? I'm sure you did, just wanted to check. :)
