RE: Plot Optimizer not working - help pleaseposted in Help & Support
using the command line aka. "cmd" is indeed much nicer! me thinks! (but keep in mind I'm a newb!-)
Parameters are explained in the README.txt in your extracted optimizer folder.
You can even do a "Batch processing file" aka. ".bat" file.An example would be something like this:
optimize_D_to_N.batmkdir N:\plots start /wait Optimizer.exe 30 N:\plots -del 1 D:\plots\10718900860795585473_807630672_3815336_77864 start /wait Optimizer.exe 30 N:\plots -del 1 D:\plots\10718900860795585473_811446008_3815336_77864 start /wait Optimizer.exe 30 N:\plots -del 1 D:\plots\10718900860795585473_815261344_3815336_77864 start /wait Optimizer.exe 30 N:\plots -del 1 D:\plots\10718900860795585473_819076680_3815336_77864 start /wait Optimizer.exe 30 N:\plots -del 1 D:\plots\10718900860795585473_822892016_3815336_77864 start /wait Optimizer.exe 30 N:\plots -del 1 D:\plots\10718900860795585473_826707352_3815336_77864 pausewhat I'm doing here is:
-
(mkdir N:\plots) create the folder to write to
-
(start) start a program
-
(/wait) and wait for it to finish
-
using the (Optimizer.exe) in this folder
-
(30) wait 30sec for enough Ram to be available
-
(N:\plots) write files to N:\plots
-
(-del 1) delete input file when finished
-
( ) I'm not limiting Ram to use. so nothing here.
-
(D:.........) which plotfile to use.
-
(pause) in the end will keep the cmd open so you'll see any errors or that it actually finished all the files
Obviously the paths to the folders and also the adress and plotfile are individual and need to be changed for your needs.
And you'll find some more parameters in the README.txt.Same thing with the plotter
plot_D_to_N.batmkdir D:\plots start /wait gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate buffer D:\plots\10718900860795585473_807630672_3815336_77864 start /wait gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate buffer D:\plots\10718900860795585473_811446008_3815336_77864 start /wait gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate buffer D:\plots\10718900860795585473_815261344_3815336_77864 start /wait gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate buffer D:\plots\10718900860795585473_819076680_3815336_77864 start /wait gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate buffer D:\plots\10718900860795585473_822892016_3815336_77864 start /wait gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate buffer D:\plots\10718900860795585473_826707352_3815336_77864 pauseHere I am using the whole Disk but splitting it into smaller Plotfiles to have some Breakpoints in between. (gaming and such!)
If you stopped the batch process and want to restart it just use comment marks on the existing poltfiles like this:
mkdir D:\plots ::start /wait gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate buffer D:\plots\10718900860795585473_807630672_3815336_77864 ::start /wait gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate buffer D:\plots\10718900860795585473_811446008_3815336_77864 ::start /wait gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate buffer D:\plots\10718900860795585473_815261344_3815336_77864 start /wait gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate buffer D:\plots\10718900860795585473_819076680_3815336_77864 start /wait gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate buffer D:\plots\10718900860795585473_822892016_3815336_77864 start /wait gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate buffer D:\plots\10718900860795585473_826707352_3815336_77864 pauseA good explanation of calculating Plotfile sizes
Quote:
haitch ADMIN 4 months ago @BurstL0rd
@BurstL0rd - Okay, if you want to make the plot the size of your drive:Get the size of your drive in bytes - In windows, Explorer -> Properties will show this to you.
Divide that number by 262,144 (The size of one nonce)
Divide that number by your stagger size - the last number in the plot file name // 1G=4096 / 4G=16384 / 5G=20480 / 6G=24576 / 12G=49152 / 24G=98304
Round the number down - eg 335,600.152 becomes 335,600
Multiply that number by your stagger size.
that Number becomes your plot size - the third number in the plotfile name
The first number is your numeric account number, the second number is your starting nonce number - make sure they don't overlap. eg if your first plot starts at 0 and is 335,600 nonces, the second plot should start at 335,600.H.
You could also do a combination of both but then you'll probably have to add the paths to the programs like this example:
start /wait C:\Users\username\Desktop\gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x64-4.0.3\gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate buffer D:\temp_plots\10718900860795585473_807630674_3815337_93057 start /wait C:\Users\username\Desktop\plot_optimizer_gui_1.0.3-j6jq\Optimizer.exe 30 N:\plots -del 1 D:\temp_plots\10718900860795585473_807630674_3815337_93057....and so on. Now you should go on holidays and all Plots are going to be finished and nicely optimized when you get back!)
Editing these scripts can be tedious! If you use Notepad++ you can do column editing by pressing ALT+Mouse click™ wich comes in handy quite often! Otherwise use Notepad++ carefully. It thinks it's smarter than you!
So you're still here...! ok. maybe you wana do a bunch of plotfiles under 50GB to upload to Amazon Drive until they kick you!(like me!-/)
Best way to go is using a Spreadsheet program like for example Libreoffice Calc.-
Edit your Batch file in there using all the Spaces you need and of course the math functions.
-
Then save it as a .cvs but instead of actually using the comma delete it and use nothing.
-
Then open the .cvs in Notepad++ and maybe do some last editing and save it as a .bat file.
And boom you've got a mile long Batchfile!) And perfect oversight of you Plotfiles in a Spreadsheet.
There are surely other ways to do this. But this is as far as I made it up to now!)
enough for now......

RE: RYZEN 1700 with Xplotter = very weird long plotingposted in Help & Support
Your drive is an SMR Drive! That's why!-/
To make it short:
They are perfectly fine for minig Burst
they dont like having lots and lots of data written randomly to them! After a few 10s of Gb they go slow!Your better of plotting to an SSD (or an normal PMR drive) and then moving the plotfiles.
You can do lots of smaller plotfiles it does not matter in the end!If you want to automate it you can run a batch (.bat) file like this: assuming your on windows
@setlocal @cd /d %~dp0 XPlotter_avx.exe -id 10718900860795585473 -sn 0 -n 953376 -t 6 -path d:\plots -mem 14G start /wait move d:\plots\10718900860795585473_* P:\plots ^&^& exit XPlotter_avx.exe -id 10718900860795585473 -sn 953376 -n 953376 -t 6 -path d:\plots -mem 14G start /wait move d:\plots\10718900860795585473_* P:\plots ^&^& exit XPlotter_avx.exe -id 10718900860795585473 -sn 1906752 -n 953376 -t 6 -path d:\plots -mem 14G start /wait move d:\plots\10718900860795585473_* P:\plots ^&^& exit XPlotter_avx.exe -id 10718900860795585473 -sn 2860128 -n 953376 -t 6 -path d:\plots -mem 14G start /wait move d:\plots\10718900860795585473_* P:\plots ^&^& exit XPlotter_avx.exe -id 10718900860795585473 -sn 3813504 -n 953376 -t 6 -path d:\plots -mem 14G start /wait move d:\plots\10718900860795585473_* P:\plots ^&^& exit XPlotter_avx.exe -id 10718900860795585473 -sn 4766880 -n 953376 -t 6 -path d:\plots -mem 14G start /wait move d:\plots\10718900860795585473_* P:\plots ^&^& exit XPlotter_avx.exe -id 10718900860795585473 -sn 5720256 -n 953376 -t 6 -path d:\plots -mem 14G start /wait move d:\plots\10718900860795585473_* P:\plots ^&^& exit XPlotter_avx.exe -id 10718900860795585473 -sn 6673632 -n 953376 -t 6 -path d:\plots -mem 14G start /wait move d:\plots\10718900860795585473_* P:\plots ^&^& exit ::and so on ...........snip............adapt this to your needs and run it with admin rights in the Xplotter folder.
Write Speed for copying should be around ~100MB/s or even more!
Good luck!(I want one of those ryzen's to ....jealous....!-)

RE: Blago's Burst-Miner (Win)posted in Miner
~18sec@i7-6700K / ~22sec@HD530 integrated GPU / ~20sec@Nvidia GTX970
or there abouts!oh and I'm overclocking my processor a little bit!
TPD on i7 is 50W base and 96W max for these 18sec = 46W mining
TPD on GTX970 15W base and 50W max for 20sec =35W miningmeh! Theres a lot of guessing and assumptions involved in this calculation!
HD530 comparison is unfair because its also driving two displays at the moment! (and 0W base and 15W max cant be true?!)

RE: My CPU and GPU plot time tests (based on 5TB drive)posted in Mining & Plotting
@Vneck Its an very unequal comparison! As others said with Xplotter you've got optimized and whith "gpuplotter buffer" you've got unoptimized plotfiles! But since the disk you're using is a SMR drive, "gpuplotter direct" would not have really worked anyway! Or, it would have worked but would have taken a week also!
However, you've confirmed that Xplotter does not work very good on SMR drives!-)
They are perfectly fine for mining! I have a few of them.The fastest way to plot these type of drives and get optimized plotfiles is probably still to plot to a "normal" PMR drive first and the copy it over or use the plotoptimizer!

RE: [ANN] BtcDragon Casino Assetposted in Asset Exchange
@Bitdv great news!-) well, the frikkin rain not so much!-/
I've been using LightStud's "Dividend System" for my small and private distribution asset and it has been working great! I also used it with "TxFee: 3Burst" in heavy rainstorms!-) which might not really be an option for you but it works! Off course I always used the "Experimental AutoPay" and it does not feel that experimental at all!-)
little teaser:

I dont know what he does different from "Dividends+" but calculating this Asset payout is quasi instant. And it's got some extra options like sending a Message with it (which I did not try out), upping the Tx fee and sending individually.
I'd say its a very nice addition to the current system if you have to do regular payouts. -

RE: Pool mining is very uneffective for me....posted in Mining & Plotting
- I've seen the same when I calculated for my miner
- Have you checked that all your dl's get confirmed by burst.ninja
- be careful when using burstcoin.biz for such calculations! sometimes there are bits missing from wallet dropouts! (and for example all "Subscription Payments" but the first)
- only time I've seen it the other way is when I was calculating @RichBC for something like Dezember I think!
- when calculating for @RichBC entire mining time it go's the other way again
- for both of those calculations above I was using the xml from burstcoin.biz!!
- I love you @RichBC!-) your my size!
- yes, you're probably feeding the others
- one more yes, your read time is ~longish which might make you loose on some blocks
- If you want all your dl's confirmed, espetially when your in europe, go tross

RE: My First Mining Experience.....posted in General Discussion
@theceasar Also with Blagos miner, you might want to check and set the TargetDeadline your miner is submitting according to the pool your mining in!
"TargetDeadline" is the maximum Deadline your miner is submitting to the pool in seconds. If you set it to high (submit everything you find in your plots) its usually not a problem. But if you set it to low you might not get all the shares you could!The Ninja style pools are set up for different miner "sizes"! If you for example, have 70TB of plot files you'll always find a deadline below 86400sec (1Day) and you dont want "your" pool to be clogged with all the longer ones. Also your readspeed suffers.
Another pool might be setup to accept long deadlines. And if many miners with small plotfiles mine there they will also forge blocks and the winnings will be distributed according to their current and accumulated shares!
I hope I'm making sense here and shed some light in to the pool setups!-)
now, chose a pool and go to http://util.burst-team.us:8888/ to see what deadlines "she" accepts

then edit Blago miners "miner.conf" and set "TargetDeadline": 6048000, for example!
in your case this file is inC:\Users\HP\AppData\Roaming\BurstWallet\miner-burst-1.160705\miner.confA few sidenotes:
-uray/lex/V2 pools set TargetDeadline dynamically according to max pool size (someone please correct me!)
-jminer "pulls" the TargetDeadline from the pool automaticly-long explanation and not strictly necessary but I hope I made someone understand!-)
-sending longer dl's then accepted by pool usually does not hurt
-might already be setup right!%J={n&*lcnTXLm8:=m;hzvKsZ

RE: how can plot several drivers at same time?posted in Mining & Plotting
@naziburst
I'm sorry for that comment then! guess I'm stuck in my european mindset! Please accept my sincere apologies!as for your questions, first off its most probably necessary to turn off "Sleep" mode in "power settings"/"power options" if your on windows.
Continuing with plotting after "sleep" is not possible!you can also use "plotschecker" on that plott you've already started started. If I remember correctly it rewrites plotfile name so they still can be used e.g mined.
as for writing two plots at the same time, you can do that but its a little more complicated!-)
And I have only done it the gpuPlotter! example:gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate direct M:\plots\10718900860795585473_456459276_4358144_16384 N:\plots\10718900860795585473_486966284_4358144_16384in one line.
If you really wana go "there", I'd need more info from your setup.
sorry again!

RE: GPU plotter changes stagger valueposted in Mining & Plotting
@JackManMania It doesn't matter where you start from! Size is everything! To my knowledge you've got the same chances to "win a Block" if you start your 4540GB from 0 or from 434406412! If you plot out of the "AIO Wallet" it suggests a starting point!
As for calculating have a look at this Threadt where haitch made an good example:
haitch ADMIN 5 months ago @BurstL0rd
@BurstL0rd - Okay, if you want to make the plot the size of your drive:Get the size of your drive in bytes - In windows, Explorer -> Properties will show this to you.
Divide that number by 262,144 (The size of one nonce)
Divide that number by your stagger size - the last number in the plot file name
Round the number down - eg 335,600.152 becomes 335,600
Multiply that number by your stagger size.
that Number becomes your plot size - the third number in the plotfile name
The first number is your numeric account number, the second number is your starting nonce number - make sure they don't overlap. eg if your first plot starts at 0 and is 335,600 nonces, the second plot should start at 335,600.H.
So assuming you've got:
-
5000976658432 [Bytes free Space on your Disc] / 262144 = 19077211.984375
-
19077211.984375 / 8192 [that is 2GB of RAM] = 19069019.984375
-
Round it down to 19069019
-
19069019 * 8192 [RAM] = 156213403648 [Plot Size if you use the whole Disk in one Plot file]
If you want to split the into smaller Plot files you can divide through the number of Parts. Play around! You might find a value which fills you Disk nearly completely!
But in the end check that you can divide your Plotsize through Ramsize without fractions!Now my head hurts a bit!) I'm bad at explaining maths!
You'll get there......

[Poll] Age verification for Asset Issuersposted in Asset Exchange
We are asking @haitch to add an simple under-age mark to his verification process for "Burst Asset Issuers" as per description https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/2362/identity-verification. Because of the different perception of "Age of majority" in all countries around the world, we are asking you to take a vote on what the limit for that "under age" or "minor" mark should be?
This will not take away your responsibility as an Investor to do your research on new Assets nor will it make haitch responsible for anything!!
The whole Verification process is meant to give a second person, in this case haitch, the true identity of an asset Issuer and therefor to build trust! Now we want to add the true age of an Asset Issuer for everybody to see as an second step!This also will not prevent you as an minor to create an Asset! In fact me personally would encourage you to get involved and come up with an well thought out "business" Plan! But people investing need to know how much money or Burst you'll possibly be able to handle! This is a little protection for both parties.
This poll has not started yet and the form and ages are still up for discussion! your Input is needed!-)
If its all together wrong it will get replaced!
