Also you need to configure your miner for solo.
^^ any info on that?
and how often would the blockchain need to be re-downloaded?

"solo mining" as a search string in the forum search isn't very fruitful. Any recommended reading? i have well north of 20TB available, so I'm interested to learn more.

To set the reward recipient with your local wallet you need a started local wallet and a fully downloaded (synced) blockchain.
Yeah, after the step above, I started mining, went to bed, checked this AM and noticed it was still producing squat. then noticed the local wallet AIO app i had minimized mentioned the "downloading blockchain" green bar. doh. Seems it finally did something, i have an actual balance in the AIO local wallet app.
Many users prefer the 'uncomplicated' quick solution and use the SSL Online Wallet.
For larger amounts of Burst I recommend as a cold storage always a "paper wallet" - simply write down the passphrase on paper or print it out and use it with your own local wallet instance.
10-4, thanks.
You got a nice set up there - you could even mine solo.
thanks, where's the tipping point size wise? (when is it worth it) like in BTC any home rigs it's like the lottery, not likely to happen, but if it does, wham, serious money. And what are the benefits, lower fees?

thanks. i shut down my miner then followed those steps. first time, gave the error code 5. second time with the 2nd button it worked, well 'worked' = accepted my input and gave me a resulting hash page output.
this time looks like it worked: https://wallet.burst-team.us:8128/burst?requestType=getRewardRecipient&account=14097841123977794977 gives a different result.
i think the issue with using the page directly as luxe suggested is that my miner was still running, didn't know i had to shut it down to change the assignment.
will report back in a bit.
@ddos said in No Deadline:
@nobody luxe is just saying your reward assignment was set wrong.
ok, so on this page: https://wallet.burst-team.us:8128/rewardassignmentshort.html
I set the Reward assignment to "...cc26c" value as shown in top right of this page: http://pool.burst-team.us/
this output: https://wallet.burst-team.us:8128/burst?requestType=getRewardRecipient&account=14097841123977794977 didn't change.
then he says it costs 4 burst to make this change - but where to i 'pay'? (or is it deducted by the pool out of my output)
clear as mud.
"you can run local wallet to do reward assignment and use your wallet"
that's what I thought I did. So when you said above: "So now i checked your reward assignment ... you are assigned to yourself, thats wrong!" how are they different?
thanks
@ddos said in No Deadline:
@nobody burst wallet address for the pool and then the wallet passphrase you used to get into your wallet
thanks as well.
@luxe said in No Deadline:
i use my pool's address/accountID and my wallet's password?
Yes!
Ok, again, sorry, just seems weird to pass one's wallet password, even over ssl, to set a target of one's work.
really seems 2FA for wallet would be good idea (i saw one of the team's reply on the why no 2FA and it was a weak reply, sorry).
i did so, and got a hash reply in the browser, anything i need to do with this output?
fwiw, this looks the same: https://wallet.burst-team.us:8128/burst?requestType=getRewardRecipient&account=14097841123977794977

Insert POOL accountId and your password.
Than wait 4 blocks and all should be fine.
so on this page: https://wallet.burst-team.us:8128/rewardassignmentshort.html
i use my pool's address/accountID and my wallet's password? or the password associated with my account's friendly name?
sorry, conceptually, using any pw when setting a pool/target seems foreign to me.
to clarify, it's been running as above for about 24 hrs i believe, and 3x 8TB drives, so 21TB net?
welp, i nuked drives H: and I: and replotted using the gui tool, looked at the plot numbers and they do not overlap (it's using the drive letter to increment it seems).
after it finished I eagerly began the mining. no dice:
so.... what next. over a week and can't mine yet.
those are the steps i used. plotting takes so long. sucks.
do drives have to be replotted (normally) or is it a one time task?
"delete the plots" - how, just reformat the drive(s)?
Hi,
using the AIO client to get my feet wet. i have a few 8TB drives in this host. Tried doing plots on drives H: and I: together, the plot windows both crashed at once.
So launched the plot function/window only on the 3rd drive, J: it finished (about 8K nonces per minute, using 15 of 16 HT cores).
Anyways, so drive 3 (J:) is done, and i want to start mining. but I do re-launch the Plot tool to re-do drive 1 (H:) and it's trucking along....
i click on Mine and it sees drives H, I, J. I know drives H and I have crap on them, but i can't unselect them, and figure, let's see what happens when i say yes.
As expected the use of H: and I: are failing, but even with J: being 7300MB, i'm still getting No Deadline as shown here:
so, will mining not work until i've re-plotted H: and I: fully? or is this due to a different issue?
thanks,
NB
is there a performance advantage or efficiency reason for having greater than one plot per disk?
1 plot(s) at 880 = 3604480
2 plot(s) at 440 gb each = 1802240
4 plot(s) at 220 gb each = 901120
meaning, all else being equal, what's the reason for choosing one over the other if they all amount to the same amount of drive space?
also (sorry) what's the impact to the process if(when) a drive dies?
since we have say 4 plot drives, each with unique data on it, and no raid-parity, is it simply a matter of any data on that drive 'never gets processed and turned in' so other than losing productivity, there's no overall larger issue?
ok, so no raid. just individual drives.
about how many files per TB does the plot produce? (what size are the files?)
and how many total files can one windows host manage without difficulty (ie: if I have some jbod shelves, I can SAS connect several to an external sas hba, so dozens of drives all from one windows server 'head')
assuming server is 8 cores and 24GB ram, OS and app is on ssd drive, plot storage is 7200rpm sata via sas hba
I see a post by blago in another thread mentioning having > 1 volume allowing for parallelization:
"...
@issaburst if you have plots at two drives (for ex. d:\plots\ and e:\plots), in miner's config you may set (parallely reading)
"Paths":["D:\plots","E:\plots"],
..."
and samples of config files where having individual drives addressed by the OS seems more popular. also the best for actual results? or just more common/easier for the avg user?
question, i'd rather not buy a raid card for utilizing some spare 4TB drives I have, and instead add them as new F:, G:, H:, I: drives
Assuming the mining client can have 4 plots and mine against the 4 different disks? which mining client does this the easiest/best?
i saw n the videos the plot setup and it seems i'd just need to 'replot' 4 times if i have 4 separate disks, not the end of the world if it's only done that once. Going with a raid card to make a big ole single volume would avoid this small task, so that alone isn't worth it, any other reason(s) to have fewer/larger volumes by either using a raid card or simply doing a stripe/extended disk (spanning multiple physical drives into one large logical volume which showed up as a single/big ~8TB F: drive?)
which clients support GPUs natively to assist with plotting? delta in time to plot an 8TB volume/drive with normal quad core cpu vs. current gen gpu?
thanks,
nobody
Hello,
I've been watching the videos and one mentioned that if you go the route of using the all in one client, and setting up a local wallet, then that could only be used for that one mining node. True?
I assumed so, so I setup a cloud wallet at the official site. I tried getting the gui client so i could plot some drive space, but couldn't see how to get the gui client to log into the online wallet - the load wallet and add wallets didn't work. Sooo...
Thanks,
nobody
