[sayem314]

and what is this error?

current config:

    "submissionMaxRetry" : 3,
    "targetDeadline" : "0y 0m 20d 15:00:00",
    "timeout" : 45,
    "urls" : {
        "miningInfo" : "http://burstpool.ddns.net:8124",
        "submission" : "http://burstpool.ddns.net",
        "wallet" : "https://wallet1.burstnation.com:8125"
    }

also, should i decrease deadline?

[Blago]

@sayem314 change

"wallet" : "https://wallet1.burstnation.com:8125"

to

"wallet" : "http://burstpool.ddns.net:8124"

[sayem314]

@Blago Thanks! other settings OK? submission url need port 8124?

[Blago]

@sayem314 yes, better set :8124

also "targetDeadline" : "0y 0m 50d 00:00:00",

and do you know what recommended size for this pool = 1Tb?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yUDT-BW23alJdkkIXmYG0fvSjw2JXhgR7E_2W3W96wQ

[sayem314]

@Blago no I don't know this pool recommended size. Can you recommend me a pool? I will add another 400GB plot tomorrow!

[Blago]

@sayem314 In summary you will have 1.2Tb, so burstpool.ddns.net or pool.burstcoin.party or burstneon.ddns.net (w/o limits)

Hi guys, I wanted for the first time to give a try to this miner. But as soon it opens it closes down.
The log file gives me this:

Any thoguths? Thanks :)

[sayem314]

@vExact you have an extra | " | before E:\

"plots" : [

(here)> ""E:\\",

[vExact]

@sayem314 oh didn't see that. I removed it but keep having the same problem :/

[vuli]

I got same errors. This helped.
"D:\Burst/plots",
before I had "D:\Burst\plots",

@vuli or

 "D:\\Burst\\plots"

also you may check your config for errors here https://jsonlint.com

[crk]

I'm seeing the following percentage in the miner:
19:48:34: [++++++------------------------------------------] 12%
Does that mean that only 12% of the plots were read for the current block? I'm never seeing it go beyond 16%, is this normal?

Or is this percentage of block forging? Is there any way to know if my plots are read fast enough?

[scprv55]

Hi Creepsky45,

I've just started using your miner (on Linux Mint 64bit), first I want to thank you for developing this software! Thank you!

Secondly, I'm seeing some errors now and then and I'd like to know if my config is optimal.

I have 12 plot files spread over 3 drives (total of 2.6 TB)

Here is my log file showing the errors.

Hi @scprv55 and thank you, hope you like the miner :)

The error you see is on the server side (502 Bad Gateway) - most likely the server is under heavy load or under a DoS attack.
It can be, that you will get 9 from 10 times an error, and 1 time the actual mining info. As long as you get it, everything is ok.
If you really want to, you can change "miningInfo" : "http://pool.burstcoin.party:8081/" to another location that is not under heavy load (for example https://wallet.burst-team.us:8125), but then it can be, that your mining info is not in sync with the pool.

To activate the webinterface you need to change "serverUrl" : "http://192.168.0.100:8080" to your local ip. If you want to use it only on the computer where the miner is running, you can use localhost:8080 (or some other free port instead of 8080).

[Creepsky45]

@crk The percentage shows the plots that were read for the current block.
It should go up to 100% every time. Can you please copy paste your config? How big are your plotfiles and where are they located?

For example if you have 2 different plot dirs on the same drive, it will be very slow to read them because the drive will spin like crazy.

[machasm]

Hello,
I have been trying to use this miner and it appears to look through the plots ok but never seems to find or upload a DL?
I have tried with a target deadline of 20 days and now with a target of 3.
I am mining around 10TB on a cloud account and using netdrive to map the cloud to a local drive letter
Any ideas?

@Creepsky45 said in creepMiner - C++ Burst Miner (based on Uray's Miner):

Hi @scprv55 and thank you, hope you like the miner :)

The error you see is on the server side (502 Bad Gateway) - most likely the server is under heavy load or under a DoS attack.
It can be, that you will get 9 from 10 times an error, and 1 time the actual mining info. As long as you get it, everything is ok.
If you really want to, you can change "miningInfo" : "http://pool.burstcoin.party:8081/" to another location that is not under heavy load (for example https://wallet.burst-team.us:8125), but then it can be, that your mining info is not in sync with the pool.

To activate the webinterface you need to change "serverUrl" : "http://192.168.0.100:8080" to your local ip. If you want to use it only on the computer where the miner is running, you can use localhost:8080 (or some other free port instead of 8080).

Thanks Creepsky, yes I like the miner very much :-)

Maybe not the right place to ask this but when I'm mining what do these numbers mean 5D + 199 ?

Thanks for clarifying to use localhost for the web interface.

[Creepsky45]

@scprv55 I assume you mean the numbers on the pool website.
It looks like this:

nU + nQ + nD + n

U: sent, but not confirmed yet
Q: will be sent later
D: not enough yet to payout, need to mine more (or longer)
n: total sent and confirmed

@machasm hard to say, did you try version 1.6.0 (development-branch)? If you are on Windows, I can compile and upload the newest version.
