yeah...I've not tried plotting from another box and moving over, but to avoid the plotting in progress drives from adding to the list... I start the miner first, and then start plotting the new drives. When done plotting, I shut the miner down and then start it again to see the new plots. But again, this is on a box that plotted its own drives. I would assume that would work in your case too. Just don't have plotters going when you start up the miner.
I will agree the AIO could be a lot more functional and that they should really get away from the JAVA platform. I don't have 100's of TB laying around nor am I gonna run out buying up a ton of drives in hopes of earning a couple bucks a day. Would take forever to get ROI. I'm making more money just streaming videos from one of a multitude of different beer money sites and it is pretty passive. I have 7 cell phones that run a single extremely passive application that earns $50+ (total) each month. Those cost me a total of $70 after shipping. Much quicker and reliable returns. So, my small BURST farm is for learning mostly as I've seen maybe ~35 BURST so far with my current ~2TB setup. And that has been over the course of a few weeks. I've just left it on the Team-Burst.us pool mostly as I've blundered through it all. I do have several more drives I can toss on down the line once I have the time, but it won't be 100's of TB....lol

there is a burst for you... http://m.burst4all.com:8124/ they decided to be cute with it they have a plot size cap 1tb they want people to run it on their phones the android burst wallet has a mining and plotting feature it makes 1gb plots to the microsd... They have a lotto drawing for a 1000 burst payout...

I just wish the mobile app was better. It seems hit and miss based on device and does not seem to give the option to pick other pools.
So things were running smoothly for me until this morning. The AIO client was showing some sort of error and all my balances were zero. Also, the miner window had frozen about 2:30 am. I killed AIO and the miner. I then tried restarting the miner like I always do, but it did not complete the startup process. Likewise, I restarted AIO, but it would not let me get into the local wallet. Rebooted the entire server, and same thing. I then started the AIO from the safe bat file, but it just hung again. Here's what I get:
I closed out all the windows and rebooted a 2nd time. Same thing.
Are there any log files for the miner I can look at to see why it won't start all of a sudden?
Why is it that when AIO is having issues, the miner won't start either? Other than AIO writing the config file for the miner, what other dependencies are there? Does the blockchain have to be 100% downloaded, forexample, before the miner will start?
I have AIO using the online wallet, but it too seems to have to download the blockchain. Been looking at a "downloading blockchain please wait" for the last hour or so. It shows local wallet sync at 99.98%. I guess it stopped working during the middle of the night and is catching up now. Fingers crossed that once it reaches 100%, the miner will begin working again.
Very frustrating...

This is why I run everything separate. I use the Burst Wallet 1.2.8 for the local wallet (which isn't really needed at all), Xplotter for plotting (working on an 8 TB USB drive I was using for my Xbox One), and jminer for mining. I even run NiceHash during electrical off-peak times (plots are done during on-peak time as little electricity is used).

see if the GPU miner will start? Maybe a Java issue as the AIO and the GPU one use Java. Not sure if the CPU miner uses Java or not.
I know I can start either miner with the AIO not running.

Your wallet might be forked you can do this to unfork it https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/1857/howto-fix-a-stuck-wallet
Or if you're not sure how screwed it is find a blockchain download and resync from it
This jminer.properties works for me:
Code:

After about 15 minutes, it finally came to life and started ripping through new blocks and finally found one with a deadline:
And about this time, the Java thread that had been consuming 100% of one CPU thread finally completed, and the AIO finally synced up and things appear to be back to normal:
Now I did start plotting a 4x6TB volume last night on the same server with 27 out of 28 threads. I'm going to resume it now with 24 threads instead. Maybe that had something to do with it?

I've found too that the less peers you're connected to the higher chance you have of the wallet forking or getting stuck. try changing the burstwallet\conf\nxt-default.properties
nxt.maxNumberOfConnectedPublicPeers=20 is the default, on my pool I've got it set to 3000 but that takes about 10 megabit of upload and 3-7mb download constantly

Picked up another 3tb Enterprise hgst drive to add to my array as well as a pair of noctua 80mm for my haf the drive bays were a bit toasty. Next I'll go for a 200mm top
And eventually perhaps I'll take my antec 900 put an matx something in it or my Asus a88x with a10-7850k and put 2 4bay hotswap bays in

yeah, you can plot on any pc and mine on any pc, with any or all of them running at the same time. Make super sure though that the plots don't overlap! If you have a plot starting at 90 million and its an 8tb plot thats ~ 30 million nonces so you can't start another plot at 110 mill.
You can get all the info you need from your filenames, here is an example:
5555555555555555555_0_30000000_30000000
That has a starting nonce of 0 and has 30 million in it, so 0+ 30 mill = 30 mill, add one to this for your next plot, like so
5555555555555555555_30000001_30000000_30000000
Add those for the next would be 30 million and 1 plus 30 million is 60 million and 1, so next plot starts at 60 million and 2.
Or if you're lazy just make sure the starting nonce is higher than that
With mining just make sure that your info is set correctly, you can't mine two different pools with one burst address since you have to set recipient reward. You don't need to have a wallet to pool mine but you do to solo mine. You can solo mine with multiple pc's off one wallet though which is nice, just make sure they both have accurate time.

i generally like to use extra high nounces most of mine start with 420000000000000000000000000000000000000 i then change it like this 4210000000000000000000000000000000yeah, you can plot on any pc and mine on any pc, with any or all of them running at the same time.

Thanks, exactly the info I was looking for!
I like to leave a little bit of unused space on each of my volumes to deal with remapped blocks, etc. So I allocate 3,810,144 nonces per TB. So my plots looks as follows so far. That first number on each line represents the raw size of the volume holding the plot. By starting with 400,000,001, I'm able to just go to 500,000,001 and so on, until my volumes gets larger than 24 TB. Once that happens, I need to go from say 2,300,000,000 to 2,500,000,000 as seen below from my actual xplotter commands.

In hind sight, I could have done like Lunas and tagged on some zeros at the end, and then I wouldn't have had to worry about jumping from 23 to 25 on the starting digits, but as long as I track things carefully, I should be ok.
Good deal on only needing to run a single wallet when solo mining. I'd hate to run that AIO wallet on my production media server.

if you mine on a pool you would not need the wallet on the mining server at all but you seem to be pulling in quite a number of coin...
they recently open sourced the block explorer so hopefully soon this coin gonna blow up despite the dev issues.

here is something neat, but kinda pricey when fully populated, USB stick that has 16 MicroSD slots, 4TB of space using 256GB mSD cards.
So here's another screenshot of mine. This time, the Burst network is telling me that the network sucks:
Yet speed test tells me all is well. What gives?
Not sure, i do know burst-team stuff has been totally offline all day. That and my pool wallet has been having issues left and right. Its currently re-syncing off a database download to try to fix it.

So is the entire network frozen or something, or is my wallet just messed up? There's been no new blocks since about 4 hours ago.

Don't know if anyone here is interested. I just pulled the trigger on this deal. https://slickdeals.net/f/10377972-4...5-best-buy-gift-card-99-99-free-shipping-ymmv Picked up 2 and even used the $75 GC's I got from the BB laptop trade in deal from a week ago. I'll using these for backups, but figured could be nice drives for BURST. Since they come with a $25 GC each, that brought the cost down quite a bit and it came with free 2 day shipping. My wife will use the Shutterfly codes that come with it for pics of the youngins too.
From what I've read it happened once before for 2-3 days max. The spammers attacking are spending a lot of burst to attack so it is costing them money. I'm guessing they've amassed a lot of coins to try to attack the blockchain as effectively as possible.
My wallet says i forged a block finally... sadly the blockchain attack is ongoing and it might have been forged on a fork
Restarted syncing on the pool too to try to get it un-forked

Seems like there's going to several forks in the coming days, and no one knows which one is going to prevail.
Supposedly, this attack is by the shitlords known as crowetic and nameless. These two, and possibly others, were in on a scheme to hold Burst down below 300 satoshi since they royally screwed themselves in a ponzi scheme involving a rather large short order on one of the exchanges (in which six-figures in fiat currency were in play), and the only way for them to even break even is to buy a metric ton of burst below 300, then maybe allow it to float back above 300. It's a real mess right now, and everyone is collateral damage since no one can mine (can't switch pools, can't switch to solo, and anything earned on solo is on a fork that will probably roll back once all of the forks work themselves out).

so time to do maintenance and replot if need be. Ill use this time to install 2 notcua fans in 80mm slots in my haf and install a 3tb in the hotswap bay either i got a bad drive or the mediasonic enclosure i got cant run the drive... i wonder if this will push the coin below 200...
Some pools appear to be back up, but I'm guessing all pools are still on forks. This will get nasty once the blockchain is reconciled, as no one is really sure which fork will win.

How does this happen?
Yeah all pools are on forks, i'm setting the pool on the fork that lex and a few others are promoting
If you want to be on the same fork do the following, if you want to wait it out find a db download and grab that, shutdown your wallet, replace DB and wait for news of forks merging.

Be sure to remove the old well known peers if you want to be on this fork. This is the fork that the community is pushing but the 'winning' fork is not guaranteed!

With those peers, can I roll back to a db that I have backed up from 7/18 and sync from there? Or could that still cause me to download blocks from another fork?
You should be able to sync just fine from a rollback with the above settings.
Added an observer to burstfiend at bursfiend.com:1111. Please note that its currently behind! Wallet is syncing with above settings and just north of block 380161 right now.
EDIT: its caught up and the pool is running

Burst is a fucking mess, don't even waste your time, and certainly don't buy more harddisks for it.
