I can see why people get frustrated with mining burst...
-
I prefer the GPU since I have a Gtx 1080... Just banging my head on the wall trying to figure out what is going on. The two gents that helped were @rnahlawi and @PingOfd3ath they both are very informed in my opinion. There is just something going on here that we aren't seeing
-
@ProSportsPhotog Well, by their names I know they are very informed and experienced about Burst...
Regarding GPU mining I can't really help you but if you give on GPU and want to try with the CPU let me know and I will help you... Eitherway my only suggestion to you, @rnahlawi and @PingOfd3ath is that maybe you guys should check if the USB ports don't go to sleep after some time of inactivity... I doubt it could be the problem but is the only thing I can see on top of my head as a problem... Or else you don't have the devices.txt configurated properly?!
-
I wouldn't know. The only thing I know is, it's a PAIN IN THE ASS! These plotters are about as complicated as a single woman, in a night club, with a mini skirt, and a ding dong.
I don't understand why the complications or the other exist. LMAO!
I thought I turned off the USB - and the reason I assumed that is, the plotter goes all the way to 5.7 gigs but left 334 megs open. After about another hour it popped up the error and when It tried to fix it it came up with replot! Hell, it didn't even tRY to fix it self. =(
The CPU I have is a i7 7820 but I am not comfortable with 4000 nuances. There has to be a resolution.
-
@ProSportsPhotog LOL I am plotting at 1750 nonces per min... 4000 seems good to me... It will be something arount 10-15Tb per week... At least you make it work, then if you are not satisfy with it you try to do it with the GPU xD
-
@gpedro No bro, its the drives are overfilled with plots .. missed calculations for drive free space.. not sure but maybe due to reformatting drives in NTFS while calculations where made for exfat
-
@rnahlawi oh if that's the case, I think he should have done multiple plot files, then if the last one doesn't finish, he should lower the number of nonces and plot how much he can ;D
-
@gpedro The problem was using xplotter on NAS which forces exfat. I used GPUplotter to overcome this. Then the drives were installed in USB enclosures and I re-ran the same command without checking free space, stupid me!
I told @ProSportsPhotog that he can now use Xplotter as drives are NTFS and his CPU is super fast which might give similar speeds of GPUplotter.
-
Hey! @rnahlawi I am for either or I just assumed the GPU was much faster since I was seeing 60k nuances with my GTX 1080... With my CPU if I could get those same numbers I would be good! Maybe multiple plots? Will that make it multiple drive letters? Because I plan on adding another 25 tb soon. :)
PS when I tried the AIO plotter it ran slower than dog #$@%... 3k is all I was getting. I would rather use GPU if that is going to be the case =)

4k is unacceptable. I would rather send the drives back. I didn't upgrade equipment for no reason. :)

@ProSportsPhotog Plotting is the slowest part of the process because requires a shit ton of computation but you only have to do it one time and that's it... 4k nonces will get you around 10-15Tb plotted by week... It's not that bad... I would start plotting with the CPU while you don't know how to plot with the GPU... GPU plotting require a lot of tweeking to achieve the maximum of your GPU because you will have to try a lot of setups until you get the right one for your machine!
Multiple plots can be held in the same drive so it will not require more drive letters until you fill the hdd!

Yet again 4k is unacceptable.

4k is better than zero, just sayin :)
-
@rds As is 50k to 4k... this is your opinion. =)
-
@rds exactly my point LOL
@ProSportsPhotog I can't help you with GPU plotting like i said before so you will need someone else that can help you with that ;D
-
@gpedro I'm aware =)
-
@ProSportsPhotog with my laptop (i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.6GHz and 32 GB of RAM) I am able to get around 10.5k nonces/min. And I see your CPU is better than mine :)
-
@vExact still to low.. I was getting 11k on the CPU. Again if I am capable of getting 50k I want 50k.. I don't settle for second if another is achievable. And I hear you on getting 11k, that is pretty fast but when I saw 50/70k? That is a number I want to aim for.

I'd do the same. Totally understandable :)

Thank for the understanding! Some common sense.. :) I am just not happy with status quo!
I know it can be done. And two of the best have looked at it. Like @rnahlawi stated, it was probably because the parameters were wrong because i pulled it from my NAS and reformatted with NTFS. I would rather have the capabilities of plotting 6tb in way less than a day then spending 3 if you get my point. Called efficiency... :) Thank god for the help here...

@ProSportsPhotog
Generating nonces is only part of the process. They need to be written to the drives. Maybe I'm wrong but I think writing to the drives isn't going to keep up 60k nonce generation. You should try Xplotter. Get it going and watch a write cycle and how it does keeping up with 10k nonce per minute.
