Hi

I'm mining with 65TB and although the drives are scanned within 40 seconds, I notice the green "Confirmed DLs" only appear after "found DL" appears.

Sometimes, confirmed DLs never appear when blocks are a minute apart. I'm using pool.burstcoin.biz and have quick internet. What can be done to speed up the confirmed DLs?
Thank you.

Is there any disadvantage of mining with 50tb on a pool that has a recommended capacity of just 1tb?

I find seagate's 8TB archive drive the best value for money. Plot to one drive, optimize to the next, and format the first drive before replotting in it again.

Grab the external drives and shuck the drive to save an additional $20.

Ok. I tried the miner which shows this message: file "9183798047620998523_0_2260992_2260992" name/size mismatch
Guess it's time to replot.

@haitch Is the percentage being stuck means plotting has failed? I read on the forum the percentage progress might be stuck for a while before picking up the pace, but mine seems to be stuck at 0.36%, with 12288 nouce/min and zero gpu usage. Disk and ram usage is still high however.

I'm concerned it will be like last time, where it makes a 550gb plot, then cease ram/disk activity with gpuplotter still hanging at 2%.

@rnahlawi Cool, shall give it a try. It seems an rx 480 can plot while mining too.

My first plot of 550gb seems to be done now, but the command prompt show that it's stuck at 2%. However the 550gb plot is ready, and there has been no ram usage or disk activity for half an hour when I view task manager. Do you know if it's complete?

I tried moving the plot but it says it is in use by gpuplotgenerator.

@rnahlawi Many thanks!! It is working now after your suggestion.

I'm plotting using direct mode in 550gb chunks, to my understanding, there will be no need to optimize plots afterwards?
This code is used to plot:

gpuPlotGenerator generate direct C:/burst/9183798047620998523_0_2260992_16384

Next plot will be gpuPlotGenerator generate direct C:/burst/9183798047620998523_2260993_2260992_16384 and so on?

Is it also possible to plot using all 4 of my gpus on the same plot? Thanks again.

@rnahlawi Nope. I downloaded it from the same link. It's just that the instructions in readme in my first post are too complex for me.

After downloading the plotter, did you need to do modify "platform" variable or "Opencl include"? If yes where did you change the settings?

Right now I get [ERROR][-61][CL_INVALID_BUFFER_SIZE] Unable to create the OpenCL GPU buffer.

Device.txt is setup as: 0 0 16192 64 8192

Gpu is Rx 480 8gb. (4 of them)

Hi

I do not know how to set up the below portion in the tutorial. Can anyone advise how to setup platform variable and opencl include/opencl lib variables?

Modify the [PLATFORM] variable to one of [32] or [64] depending on the target platform. Modify the [OPENCL_INCLUDE] and [OPENCL_LIB] variables of the Makefile to the correct path. Example:

OPENCL_INCLUDE = c:\AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1\include
OPENCL_LIB = c:\AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1\lib\x86_64
Run the following commands :

cd <this directory>
make dist
The [dist] folder contains all the necessary files to launch the GPU plotter.

I have installed open cl from this link: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/OpenCL2-Driver.aspx

Thank you.

I'm selling it for 65000 burst, about 35 USD. It's the standard Battlefield 1 edition on Origin.

I got the code from buying a bundle with Nitro plus 480 8GB and the game.

Here's the proof of my purchase and the promotion poster: http://imgur.com/a/MuGgI

Upon payment I can send you the game code via PM. Let me know if you are interested.

@AngryChicken Yup. Regardless, even if it's a 3 year ROI it is still really good compared to other investments in the financial markets. The drives don't lose value that quickly too unlike graphics card.

That drive dropped to $170 today and I grabbed 5.
