@Simunomics Those Deadlines are Skipped since they are above the Threshold Value for Submitting at that pool. Some pools allow higher deadlines to give shares to smaller capacity, but others take lower deadlines only. Any higher deadlines are skipped since you would have to wait that long to win the block. You can see how the DL number shows a Greater than symbol and the Max DL it will take is 86400 otherwise Skip it. Nothing is wrong at all there...

RE: Failed Writefile (code = 2) & (code = 1167)posted in Help & Support
I figured it out, finally! There is a NAS problem when the volume mounts. I have to go into DiskPart to get the info and clear the READONLY attrib. For some reason every time you boot it reverts the NAS to READONLY:
DISKPART
LIST VOLUME
SELECT VOLUME x
DETAIL VOLUME
ATTR VOLUME CLEAR READONLY -
Failed Writefile (code = 2) & (code = 1167)posted in Help & Support
I am testing out an SAS Controller and I suspect it is having problems with XPlotter. I haven't tried any other plotter yet but I keep getting "Failed Writefile (code = 2)"
I then change the stripe size and use different block sizes and I get Failed Writefile (code = 1167)
So I imagine it is something to do with the Sector size since I can write to the drive fine.
I am striping 8 Drives with a 128K stripe. And using 4096 as the sector size. I tried 64k stripe also.
XPlotter actually creates the file and uses the entire drive it just doesn't start to fill the Plot after the first set of Nonces are made.
Update!
Failed in JBOD on one drive but then writes fine on another. I also have some drives with EFI partitions that are embedded on the drive. There are 4 on one channel and 4 on the other. I unplugged one SAS channel and it writes on that channel. I will now test on the other channel and see if it writes without the other channel attached. All in JBOD so I know it has nothing to do with the stripe size now. Might be bad sectors too since the drives were used and I have no history. -

@Amoulier My bad, I responded to you instead of the main topic. So the settings apply to the OP. Not sure why your GPU is slower than the CPU.

RE: Plotting Help.posted in Mining & Plotting
@Amoulier Your settings for the 1070 are not correct. NVidia is Parallel processing vs AMD Serial. The settings need to be different. I have a post somewhere that we worked out some scenarios. I did it trial and error. Sometimes you will get a CL Error too. But I will be interested in helping you since I want to know what a 1070 can crank out. Let me see if I can find my notes.
I also noticed you have Buffer Mode on one of the Plotters. If you start in Direct Mode it will be very slow and then ramp up since it is writing Scoops first and then filling the drive with Nonces at the end. It gets very fast towards the end and it really just averages the low out. So Buffer may also be an issue since I just noticed you got to 52K Nonce on that one screenshot.
So it depends on how you are plotting. XPlotter is Optimizing. Buffered is not.
Also there is a memory controller that has a specific number that will be the optimal number to use for Plotting on the Nvidia. It matches the Memory vs Group Size for the CL Global variable. I only found this out helping another 970GTX which has a recall due to only 52 not the advertised 64 which makes the memory not allocate properly. I got it tuned and it worked better with that doubled as 104 instead of 52. Not Cuda Cores but some other spec I can't remember right now.
So where you have 128 the 104 would have gone I believe and then multiples were used as the front number to fill the memory as the size per Nonce would be concerned to scale properly. 256 which is quarter meg etc.

RE: How does a higher DL win a block??posted in Mining & Plotting
I was talking about when it is reported and how it makes it to the wallet. If there is a lag in display there is also a lag in reporting. When a DL is Confirmed and there are a few seconds between like the example, if the DL was found right at the end of the round it didn't make it to the wallet in time to register. The one that registered could have been found in 10 seconds. The one that was better could have been found at 3:45 and didn't have time to register.
Most likely the DL was found before 3 minutes so this is why I am saying there could be a lag in the network. The confirmation of the block on the network is the critical aspect. What miner/pool reports it to the nodes first. I don't think it happens that often to really cause concern.

RE: How does a higher DL win a block??posted in Mining & Plotting
This is why I run a Local Wallet while mining! Mining is finding Coin but supporting the Network is running a Wallet. The more wallets the stronger the network. I also notice lag on pools. You can see how some start sooner and others are slightly delayed. Up to a few seconds and there is your time problem out in the open.

RE: New miner, plotting 1.5TB takes +24hours ?posted in Introduce Yourself
@Zeroroel An i5 will take longer yes. My i7 does about 10K Nonces so it is normal to take that long. Welcome to Burst!

RE: Looking for a build.posted in System Builds and other hardware stuff.
@sevencardz Sorry got busy... If you get a good enough card sure. I tested a Celeron 2 cores, that I used to have running my Graphics Miners for X11. You can get away with it on that kind of hashing with risers, but I don't know about Plotting, it is still memory intensive since you write from Memory to the drive. Direct plotting may be the only difference. But never tested it. The celeron just bogged out in JMiner trying to mine the drives with a very powerful Video card. I think it was an R290X like $350. I didn't try to plot with it though.
i5 would be minimum in my opinion...

RE: Looking for a build.posted in System Builds and other hardware stuff.
@sevencardz i7 3770K is the way to go for Reading Plots. I actually have a 6 Core i7 2011 that reads back slower than my 3770K. I would stay away from the i3 and i5 if you are planning on expanding drives. My chips are older so the newer versions would most likely be faster and better.

RE: BurstPay?posted in General Discussion
Are the Burstcoins on a Centralized DB kind of like an Exchange would use? Or is this wallet using the core but reworked for mobile?

RE: Am plotting at the moment and will start mining later. Any advice is welcome.posted in Mining & Plotting
@2nd4thdegree What pool were you mining? Did you use the right wallet address? If you add a space or any other letter to your wallet passphrase it will open a new Wallet. Do you think you could have had a mistype?

RE: Am plotting at the moment and will start mining later. Any advice is welcome.posted in Mining & Plotting
@2nd4thdegree Yes go to the Online Wallet and it will be there. The Local wallet takes forever to download. There is a ZIP file somewhere you can use to speed up that process if you want the local wallet quicker. But sometimes it gets stuck and you may have to do this anyways if you want the local wallet.
Check the online wallet I am sure it will be sufficient for now...

RE: Am plotting at the moment and will start mining later. Any advice is welcome.posted in Mining & Plotting
@2nd4thdegree No, not normal, it should show up in a few blocks. It will pend as unconfirmed first but will be listed in the transactions screen.

RE: Am plotting at the moment and will start mining later. Any advice is welcome.posted in Mining & Plotting
@2nd4thdegree No you get paid on that right away. It is only when your shares are less than 300 that it adds them up to pay later or eventually out at 300+

RE: Am plotting at the moment and will start mining later. Any advice is welcome.posted in Mining & Plotting
@2nd4thdegree You will get a payout at 300+ coins or if you leave the pool it will send less than 300 in a day.
Here is a list of all the pools:
http://util.burst-team.us:8888/pool
Don't mine on Burst.Ninja until you are over 20TB Deadline limit is suited for large capacity.
Burst-Team.us need to be over 10TB and Burstmining.club over 5TBSo any of the other pools you can mine with less TB I am pretty sure.

RE: Am plotting at the moment and will start mining later. Any advice is welcome.posted in Mining & Plotting
@2nd4thdegree As long as you paste your Address in and use the Same Address to Tag the Plot with you will be on the same Pool when you mine. Different wallet addresses would be able to mine separately but there is no real benefit there unless you have huge drives and want to average a payout across pools. You will tend to hit more pay with larger plots so either way it will be about the same outcome or minimal difference in the long run. Especially if using small storage for plots.
So I would just make them both the same and go to another pool. Just have to pick the right one because some are 10TB minimum and you will never find a deadline on those. Let me see if I can find the pool for less than 10...
