Deadlines, what are they?
-
Hi, I'm new to burstcoin, thought I would mine me some since I have a few PC sitting around not doing anything.
I have plotted an 800Gb plot file using the AIO wallet. I'm mining at pool.burst-team.us using burst miner r4 x64. I managed to get everything working but am concerned that I'm not submitting anything.
I keep getting {"errorCode":1008,"errorDescription":"The deadline for your nonce is too long: 9
months, 19 hours, 23 mins, 49 secs (23397829). Our max deadline is 691200"}So what does that error mean? Am I submitting nonces or am I not? It doesn't seem right to me, can someone please explain this.
Thank you.

Okay after doing a bit of reading here I found some info about deadlines.
If I ran the plot optimizer would that decrease the amount of time of my deadlines?
Can I create a plot on a networked drive and have more than one PC read that plot for mining purposes?

@MisO69 welcome to burst!
you are submitting nonces, but they result in a deadline that exceeds the limit for the pool. info about deadlines and poc mining can be found at http://www.burst-team.us/index.php/about/
my suggestion would be consider switching pools to one that accepts higher deadlines (having something besides zero for your historical share for the block is better than, well zero). i believe pool.burstcoin.party is in the AIO wallet and has a high deadline limit. there is a spreadsheet of pools which will give some idea of their deadline limit provided at https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/1109/list-of-all-pools-overview
optimizing your plots won't increase your deadlines. it will decrease the hard drive read time and wear on the drive.
there is no benefit to mining a plot with multiple machines because it will still contain the same nonces. in order to benefit from mining with another machine plot more space on it with different nonces.
i hope this helps and good luck with the mining!
