Round time and mining efficiency - advice please
-
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. :)
-
:) it started somehow. long, long time, but it is working now. thx

Guys, i`m losing my mind here :) Every single time I modify the jminer.properties, it jumps back to the original configuration. I am trying to modify the ConnectionTimeout from 6 sec to 10 or 12 or whatever, just a little higher than 6, because the miner wants me to increase it. And I cant! it jumps back to 6, every single time. I closed the wallet, the miner, restarted the computer, and it jumps back again to 6 sec. I hate 6 sec, I want more :) How can this file be changed? Is there some other file that needs to be changed first? I even tried to put the file on read only mode, but the miner will not start this way, it needs to flip back to 6 sec so I can lose my mind on probably an obvious thing, that I can not see right now. :) So, please guys, help :) Thx

@Jackk78 this will happen when you run it from the windows wallet, running it from the command line should be fine. You could try make the file readonly, but this more than likely will break the windows wallet.
-
ok, thank you. i will try to do that.
-
running it from the command line solved the problem. thank you

I need your help again, I don`t know what to do anymore. So, I am trying to plot a 10 TB internal HDD, I downloaded the gpuplotgenerator and I configured it in a way that is not giving me any errors, but it is working so slow, that il will take me 4 weeks to plot the drive and I can not understand why. I am running it under windows 10 64 bit, with 16 Gb Ram and Ati Radeon HD 7870 Video card on my system with the latest drivers and OpenCL. I get 1115 nonces/minute. The device file looks like this
0 0 5120 256 32768
and the makeplots.bat file, like this
gpuplotgenerator generate direct G://burst/plots/mynrid_0_35061760_32768
What is wrong with this configuration? Why is this working so slow and what can be done? I can not wait 3 weeks to finish plotting :) Thank you
-
@Jackk78 Ignore the estimate - it's way, way off. In direct mode the plotter builds the entire file, then fills it in. The building process takes quite sometime - 5TB takes about 12 Hours. While it's building the file, the time estimate will just get worse. Once the actual plotting starts, the estimate will decrease, but will always be longer than it's actually going to take. For 10TB you're looking at around 2 Days.
-
I hope you are right :) Thank you. Are the settings ok? The 1115 nonces / minute is not too low or this is off too?
-
@Jackk78 The nonce/minute is also way off. However, your devices.txt looks off - for my R9-280X I'm using "0 0 4096 64 4096". Don't stop plotting though, let it run and adjust later.

I saw the screen of jminer ... you may want to make it look better ...
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/19982/how-to-make-the-windows-command-prompt-wider/
Also you still have memory issues? If you have Win7, that causes the issues. Also memory usage depends on the power of your GPU ... jminer will not wait for GPU but load all the data into memory, so if GPU is not fast enough you will have high memory usage.
