Moved more Mining stuff from BTT - Linux questions about VPS



  • lcharles123 -

    What is the best miner for a Linux 20GB vps?
    I tried this guide by user dcct https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.msg8879760#msg8879760

    But when i enter ./plot -k publickey -d /path/
    It returns only the usage examples Usage: ./plot -k KEY [-d DIRECTORY] [-s STARTNONCE] [-n NONCES] [-m STAGGERSIZE] [-t THREADS]
    The plots is not created.

    You need to set start nonce, nonces, stagger size, and threads ;P. None of them are actually optional :/

    Ok, i have set all parameters, but do not work, i do not need the wallet running in the machine, right?
    ./plot -k f76bb1d44c1b564c61fd03969cefb11afd1d880b27bb840bf28147111ea76b73 -d /root/plotdir -s 10000 -n 23G -m 1G -t 2

    It's more tricky...  -KEY is your Burst-Numeric-Address. I give you an example: startnonce at 0, around 200 GB of diskspace,  1 GB of memory and 2 threads:

    ./plot -k 123456789012345 -d /root/plotdir/ -s 0 -n 800000 -m 4096 -t 2

    I have configured and looks like working

    Using burst.poolto.be port 8124
    5 MB read/21 GB total/no deadline
    New block 198206, basetarget 5562696
    5 MB read/21 GB total/no deadline
    New block 198210, basetarget 5233064
    5 MB read/21 GB total/no deadline
    New block 198211, basetarget 5229360
    Walet reported no deadline.
    Could not get mining info from Node. Will retry..
    5 MB read/21 GB total/no deadline
    New block 198212, basetarget 5328643
    5 MB read/21 GB total/no deadline
    New block 198213, basetarget 5351855

    I do not optimize the plot, no enough space, that have some importance?
    How long to appear on pooltobe miners list?

    Thanks!

    Optimizing is not necessary for you now...because you have a rather small plot.

    You will appear there sooner or later but I recommend you to plot more space to get a steady stream of Burst. 200 GB should be a good start.



  • Yea, the problem is how little space you have plotted...

    I was just looking today on eBay, and you can get an external 8TB drive for only 220 USD... ridiculous. I almost bought one out of principle!

    But the good thing too, is that HDDs have great resell value, so even if you buy it and decide you hate BURST, you can always resell for almost the same as what you paid.

    I'm thinking I'll pick up one regardless.

    But yea, you'll not show on the list until you submit a deadline that shows up... which with such a small amount of plotted space, could take quite some time.

    So my suggestion would definitely be to get more space to plot! :)
