@haitch you really have done well- This wasn't about you or the asset but about whats happening with Burst in general- You are one of the few I actually trust

RE: Haitch's Assets Assetposted in Asset Exchange
Ouch- and there goes the asset price- I lost a whopping 500,000 Burst today in asset devaluation and looks like dividends are not going to come close to paying for close to what I put in for like ever
Here's my observations after today-
- Assets are going to lose their attraction very quickly if people pay large asset prices at IAOs only to see them tank
- Assets truly need to utilize some sort of AT smart contract to ensure dividends are paid out- There shouldn't be a "choice" of the asset issuer- Protect the investors
- Burst community needs to clean up the reputation and stop the absurdity of hacking attacks, theft, in fighting and other BS or people will start taking their money and equipment to other storage paying ideas.

so is there a payout tomorrow? are the dividend payouts every 2 weeks or 4 weeks?

RE: Haitch's Assets Assetposted in Asset Exchange
@haitch are you going to destroy any asset shares that don't sell out each release or keep them in addition to the 100K shares you release next? you could always keep track of unsold shares each release and then at the end of all releases create a sale open to only those asset share holders according to % of shares they own. whatever doesn't sell the first round (if people say no to the price of their alloted "extra" shares then put those together and offer whats left of those according to ownership %. go through multiple rounds slowly lowering the price (still only to share holders and by % of ownership till eventually they are all sold) This encourages people to buy up shares each round and any discount that may have to eventually come to maximize the sale of ALL asset shares will only benifit those that own shares to begin with and more "discounted" shares be available for those that own the most shares thus again giving people more of an incentive to buy shares each release.

RE: GPU Ploting-Getting Pissedposted in Mining & Plotting
yeah, I'm not liking it too much either right now--still working on these same 3 drives. one is at 65%, one at 62% and one at 60%. I still can't help but think I did something wrong lol. Where is Cryo? isn't he the one who made it? and maybe he could take a look at what I did and let me know what I maybe did wrong? Cryo???? Cryo???? or whoever made gpuplotter are you there? ;)

@haitch I check the drives with crystaldiskinfo and got the model number- looked it up and they are PMR - I thought that may have been the issue but it wasn't.....I know strange...the only thing I can think of is my device setup may have been wrong? here is what the listdevice gave me.

RE: GPU Ploting-Getting Pissedposted in Mining & Plotting
First Thank you for taking the time to read my post and help me. @iKnow0 we've talked for a bit before and I hope you know I wasn't yelling at anybody or anything nor would I, I was just literally going crazy trying to figure this out. @PummelHummel I have an AMD FX 6100 - 6 core 3.3GHz.
@luxe @haitch
I am definitely plotting right now in direct mode. What I may not understand is this- It took 36 hours to write the first file (to fill up the space on the HDD) then its been like 2 days of it going in and slowly filling in. The nonces are increasing and 2 out of the 3 drives are about 25% complete, but from everything I read it shouldn't take this long should it? I just fear maybe I'm doing something wrong that is making the plotting take abnormally wrong. I have a pretty good system with a decent cpu, 32GB of RAM, a RX480 8GB card, so to me I shouldn't be taking 6 days to do some 4TB drives, right? I understand the process does take time but from other peoples input on the forum they are finishing 4TBs in about 36 hours vs 6 days (hopefully it finishes by then lol). I am going to try various ways, but if someone could take the time to check out my process when I start a new set of drives I would really appreciate it. I just got another order of 28TBs and these drives are starting to stack up, but I'd hate to tell my supplier I can't take them because now I am getting them for $10/TB because of my volume buying, but if I can't plot them faster than every 6 days its not worth it LOL -
GPU Ploting-Getting Pissedposted in Mining & Plotting
OK this the 3rd time I've tried to plot these 3, 4TB PMR HDDs and I am starting to get pissed. I have 88TBs more still to plot and I am seriously about to pull my hair out!! The first 2 times I ran the gpu plotter and tried to plot all 3 on the same command prompt window-the HDDs had the plot file written to them- filled up the space (I saved 6GB of room on each) and then after they were written on I looked back and the nonces dropped to like 14-15/min with an ETA of about 2 years. I noticed the first time that the HDDs had spun down and thought that may have been the problem since I had enabled cache on the drive, so I stopped, deleted the file, formated the drive agaqin and plugged the externals into different USB 3.0 ports thinking the hub may have been the problem as well. Did it again and dumbass me didn't fix the spin down problem so when the first drive finished first writing it spun down and again the nonces dropped to a super low number. Stopped, formatted drive again, fixed the spin down issue and then ran each drive on its own gpuplotter command prompt window, so 6 days later first drive finishes and GUESS WHAT??? The damn nonces/min dropped AGAIN and is at 15.65/min with a 1y 44w ETA-WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON???? they didn't do this with the other drives I plotted with gpu! I have a RX480 8gb card and 32MB of ram witch I'm using 8MB for each drive. THEY ARE NOT SMR drives, as I checked with crystaldisk to find out what kind they were and the specs show PMR. I have turned the cache writing on or whatever for the drives and they are not turning off. on Resource monitor there is a c:\pagefile.sys reading something which is tied into the gpuplotter process because I have singled out to monitor gpuplotter resources. Somebody please before they lock me up into a mental institution HELP!

Copying over plot filesposted in Mining & Plotting
I have some 4TB SMR drives that I really don't want to deal with plotting- so I'm finishing up some 4TB PMR drive plots now that I did with GPUplotter. From what I understand these PMR drive plots are going to be optimized. My questions are-
- Am I correct that the plots are optimized so I don't need to optimize them?
- Can I simply just move the plot files from the PMR drives to the SMR drives through windows or do I need to use something special?
- Will the SMR drive be optimized after the file transfer? I am thinking the answer is yes but want to make sure-
Started at 3TB➡️Now at 7TB➡️Tonight will be at 21TB🔜Omw this week to be at 53 TB

RE: No Apparent Mining Successposted in Mining & Plotting
Here's what I have learned very quickly-
It's not about actually confirming a deadline that only matters it's the time of that deadline that matters as well. I looked at your confirmed deadline and it was 25days- that's going to only get you a very very very small piece of the pie in your mining pool. So to make bigger payouts you are going to need to have better deadlines. The only way to do that is to have more mining HDD space. Sometimes it's better to jump in a pool then to slowly creep in. Honestly times ticking every day and if you want a lot of coin you got to go big (or as big as you can) or it just isn't worth the time

Something I've noticed on GPU plotterposted in Mining & Plotting
I have 32GB RAM and a RX480 8GB graphics card
But when I try to utilize 4GB of VRAM I constantly get an invalid buffer range error in GpuPlotter. So I reduce it to 2GB of VRAM and it adds in 2GB of RAM in the device startup and then uses the 24GB of RAM for the writing.
I'm no wizard at this stuff but I followed everything in the gpuplotter instructions that should allow me to use the 4GBs of VRAM-
I was looking various things up on Invalid buffer range and there was some interesting posts on "other software" non cryptocoin forums - could there be an error in the program limiting the ability to not be able to get max_memory allocation size?
And as a curious side note- why is it using 2GBs of CPU RAM as well?

RE: Hardware for 20x USB 3.0 drives connected to one machineposted in Mining & Plotting
Dang it!!! That is my problem- I was wondering why I'm getting only a combined 100MB/s writing on 3 USB 3.0 drives all plugged into "separate" ports on my USB 3.0 card- duh!! Piece of crap $40 card

gpuPlotting multiple drivesposted in Mining & Plotting
@administrators @Global-Moderators @haitch I finally got my gpuPlotter all configured and working--- Now I am going to be plotting multiple drives in gpuPlotter- here are my questions-
-
my devices are set as 0 0 8096 256 8192 - but it shows I am only using 1GB of VRAM and 1GB of RAM can I leave them like that bc I have 4GB of available VRAM out of my 8GB graphics card or should I reduce it by how many drives I will be plotting?
-
I'm confused about the nonces starting point and overlapping- the first number in the command line (after account id) should be ? xplotter used a long number that started with 6 (it was the f drive so I realize that it created a starting point of 6 bc of the 6th letter of alphabet) but now I'm direct plotting and I don't want to hit an overlap situation- I'm using 16 GB of 32 GB ram and I'm afraid through my calculations that the nonces numbers will get big and possibly overlap with that drive? should each drive be a continual increase in nonces starting point based on the last drive?
for instance drive F is AcctID_600000001_11444480_11444480
my new gpuplotter commands for two 4TB drives
Drive G should be Acct ID_11444481_?32768
Drive H should be Acct ID?_?_32768 -

RE: GPU Plotting Problem-WTH Happened?posted in Mining & Plotting
ok found something they may or may not be a proble- and need help to fix it-
So when I was setting up the gpuPlotter - it wasn't running until I created a burst folder then a plots folder in that- But when I inspected the drive in file explorer just now it had the plots being written outside the burst/plots folder. gpuPlotting gurus can you weigh in on this being the possible problem?

GPU Plotting Problem-WTH Happened?posted in Mining & Plotting
Ok so I got the gpu plotter up and plotting- started and then looked stuck- at the time it displayed a whopping 50K nonces/min- I checked the resource monitor and it was having great activity in the drive I was plotting so I assumed it was working. Went to bed ready to wake up to a freshly plotted drive. Woke up and was still plotting (I think) still no action on the gpuPlotter screen but the HDD was still filling up - so I went to work and then--
I come home and the drive lookes like it was written on- I have 850 MB room left on a 4T drive-
BUT the gpuPlotter screen had changed very slightly- to 81.30 nonces/min with an ETA of 18W 3d 14h 2m 50s- I damn near fell over- the percentage of generating nonces did not change I do not think and if they did it was tenths of a percent. Still have activity going on in the drive although it is very very littleWhat is going on?
