Burstcoin Help

Finally got pools working, now I occasionally get an error, deadline exceeds deadline limit of the pool. I have tried adjusting the deadline when mining, but doesn't seem like anything works.

The good news is that doesn't hurt anything, just annoying really.
 
For now - I guess I'll have to figure out why mine's not mining and perhaps join a pool for the time being.
 
So after running 2 machines, each with 4TB of plots in a pool mining, I have made....... absolutely nothing. If I change pools it'll cost a Burst to change correct?

Yes it costs a burst to change pools. You won't make any burst right away unless you get lucky and win a block, and that's unlikely. If you're submitting deadlines, you'll be building up your burst over time as the pool wins blocks. Each pool has a minimum payout, it's unlikely you've made enough yet.
 
That could be. I'll let them run for a bit and see what happens. I'll give it a few weeks or so. After seeing some of the rigs people are using I'm not even a drop in the bucket lol.
 
Yeah... if you want to see anything major, you have to invest heavy into a lot of storage. I think I'm sitting on maybe 22TB on a good day right now and average between 8 and 20 BURST per day. When I have free time, I plan on adding another 4TB external but really have to have more time to address a server issue I'm having.
 
I'll give it a little more time, if I don't see anything at all, then I'll just build a new freeNAS box and be done with it. Running out of space on the media storage box as it is.

How are you only getting between 8-20 a day? I only have 21TB plotted and another 24 unplotted that I have been sitting on for ages because I am lazy. I use the AIO and burst.btfg.space pool and get anywhere from 50-100/day. Don't know if it matters but I use my 2nd 980TI to mine.

I have 51.4tb, and was only getting 60-80 a day. There's a lot of luck in this, your earnings do not scale linearly. Got a friend with 1.3tb on btfg and he gets 20 every 3 or 4 days. On my current pool I'm getting like 60-80 a day again, but I got 700 for winning a block vs 90 on btfg. I've also only been on this pool for less than a week.
 
I've set aside money for 600 TBs and I'll be hopeful that this pays off in the end :)

Sweet Jesus, that is going to take a long time to plot! Hopefully you have several machines you can use to do all the plots with. I can't even fathom that much!

What pool are you on right now? I've been on pool.poolofd32th.club for a while now.

I was with them for a few days, but they kept going down or skipping several blocks in a row. I'm on pool.burstcoin.space now, has good uptime now, I don't have to submit deadlines 20 times in a row, and they win blocks often enough. 30 day deadline limit too.
 
Noob question: I read some, but it wasn't clear: Do you plot once, then the HDD is Burst "minable" forever, and you just add more space as you want, or am I misunderstanding?

If you have 3TB that you want to commit to mining burst, you have to plot it. Later if you want to add another 4TB, then that will also have to be plotted (using a distinct nonce range), but the original 3TB won't have to be touched again.

ryan_975 is correct. However o nthe roadmap for this year are significant changes to burst, which will likely mean we should optimize our plots to read them even faster, but I don't think re-plotting will be required. Also each block is a unique calculation, so don't think of the plots as being mined out, and that re-plotting will get you more coins. When you add more plots, make sure you don't overlap nonces. As a terrible example, if you plotted from 0-6,000,000 on your first drive, don't start at 0 again on the next drive. You could start at 90 trillion on the next drive, it doesn't matter if you skip nonces, just do NOT overlap them (redundant nonces are wasted space.)

If you use Qbundle the plotter will setup additional drives correctly, and will optimize the plots. If you are going to mine on existing drives and plot new drives at the same time, make sure to run the miner first, then the plotter.
Some additional hints are run Qbundle as admin, and have your plotting drive formatted as 64KB.

I'm on this one.. Search for banana on there. 70Tb. I came back into burst recently but was in for a while but exited around the time seemingly everybody was bailing on burst. I'll probably buy more drives at some point when I find the right price. the WD easy stores are nice but I'm not a big fan of shucking.

Yeah I see you, I'm above you in the historicals at the moment with my measly 51.4tb. I shucked 8x of them for my new raid 6 array, but I had ended up buying 9 so I'd have a spare. The last one I use for burst now plugged in externally as intended. Haven't gotten many points the last few days, highs and lows it seems, I really need to stop looking a dozen times a day!

I have a stack of USB drives on my beer fridge right now. I really should move this stuff but I haven't had the time.

I have a terrifying amount of stuff on one of those cheap 3 shelf wire racks, I really should buy or build something safer for all my drives and my server. This photo shows it all, except the external easystore is now down with the 8x shucked drives in their cages:

On topic, I just hit another block today! This is bananas, I got a block on both the 28th and 29th recently. I'm due for a dry spell lol.
 
I've got some issues - with mounting my harddrives to a folder and then plotting them.

I've got all of the hard drives formatted, etc...

I'm trying to mount them to C:\Burst\plot01; C:\Burst\plot02... and so on. The issue I'm having is that the plotter will see only the available space on the C:\ to plot and not the actual drive being mounted's available space. How do I redeem this issue?

Thank you.

Mount to a drive letter, plot, remount to a folder.

I've gone ahead and mounted them to drive letters... Plotting 8x8TB at the same time right now...

After they're done, I'll transfer them to the server and have them mounted to C:\Burst\plot01, etc...

Thanks
