SPlotter - Burst Plotter that automatically creates small plots [Perfect for SMR]

  • Updated 25/6/2017: Please update if you aren't using multiples of 256 for your plots.


    The download now contains 4 executable files;

    • SPlotter.exe
    • SPlotter_avx.exe
    • SPlotter_sse.exe
    • RunThisAsAdmin.bat


    The main executable should choose AVX > SSE and most people shouldn't need to use the other ones.


    You set your account id (-id) a start nonce (-sn) and number of nonces (-n) like usual and it makes plots until it can't make a plot the size you want anymore.


    It will do this without overlapping and the plots are optimized.


    This is perfect if you're using SMR drives/moving plots, It is safe to move a plot once it starts working on the next one.

    The reason i made this?

    I'm not just lazy I swear!! Part of the dead-line calculation includes the position of the nonce in the plot relative to the center of the plot if this is accurate so i made this so i can make heaps of small plots to better the chance of getting a low deadline when one is found.

  • Hi!


    I started with this settings:

    @setlocal

    @cd /d %~dp0

    SPlotter.exe -id 8378315103769074730 -sn 0 -n 20000 -t 8 -path D:\burst\plots -mem 5G


    and got this (image attached):

    - start with 1.7 TB free

    - it fills with 5T files ?!?!?!

    - seems free


    Its ok?


    tnx

    Raf

  • Yeah its working fine, You are reading your own screenshot wrong. You've circled 2 columns there they aren't 5TB each.


    It would look nicer if you made the window wider too.

  • Oh! Thank you :) This was my mistake! I will continue now, and give feedback from the result!


    I have other question:

    Its a bit hard to understand the graph. So this pltotting:

    - dont need optimising?

    - reading will be faster? (cant understand clearly)


    thanks

    This post was deleted by the author themselves: Its technicaly not good, thats all. ().
  • The plots don't need optimizing :)


    It's a bit hard to explain across a language barrier but the smaller plots give a higher chance that your found nonce is going to be near an end of one of your plots which will give you a lower dead-line.

  • Ahh super! :)


    I understand what you wrote :) (i hope :D )

    (also will give a try)


    I will post my test to you!

    The plotting goes now, it seems very slow. Its normal?

    current:

    5GB: 15min

    theoretic:

    1700GB: 5100min: 85h: 3,5day yay :D


    calculated right?

  • I'm confused, you're saying deadlines are lower if they're found later in the plot? So if that's true then why don't scan the plots in reverse (let miner software start scan at the end of the plot file and work towards the beginning)?


    Btw many small plots (even when optimized) will increase scanning time because the same scoop from every plot has to be read from many places on the hard drive.

    if you had 2 miners scanning from each end it wouldn't change the relative position of the nonce in the plot or its weight relative to the center of the plot so it wouldn't change the deadline but it would help you find the deadline faster i guess? But yeah, Scanning the plot backwards wouldn't do much.


    Also, I didn't say "at the end" i said "at an end"


    Yeah it will increase your scan time by a few seconds at most with the potential of much better deadlines.



    One of these plots is not like the others... (5GB plots)

    I mean i guess you could put it down to luck if i wasn't there every day... Pretty sure i read the diagram correctly and my plotter is working as intended...

  • Hi! Why it is so slow? i have 8 threads, and they dont work on 100%, only on 20-30%. IT vill take days to plot a 1.7 TB. Tnx

    Ah sorry, you got beat

  • Vneck

    The blockchain has to catch up sometimes

  • wetware23

    Vneck I have a question, I'm new to Burst and wonder is it possible to move the burst db i.e burst_mv to an external drive rather than have it on the c: drive?

  • Vneck

    Wetware23: Sorry I couldn't find the config file that would let you change the DB location. Menax do you know?

  • XxMetalMartyrxX

  • Vneck

    To be honest, I don't use that wallet that much anymore. The last config file I knew to change was to add additional pools, and not the DB. I'm sure there is a way, but I could be wrong. It usually is in some .xml file

  • XxMetalMartyrxX

    look at that account. 0 transaction "solo miner" who's got 100k burst in 20 days

  • Vneck

    I messaged Ping, but he's offline at the moment. I know he will see your post on discord too, so hopefully when he gets back online he can check.

  • wetware23

    Is there a better wallet to use?

    HELP Overlapping Plots

  • Vneck

    There have been a lot of accounts (some botnets) that were created awhile back, but never used until recently. Sucks and I hope there is a way to deal with them

  • Vneck

    Wetware23: I mine, but I mine manually and don't use the wallet interface. I use online to check my balance and buy\trade assets

  • wetware23

    thanks Vneck

  • PBA Mining Company

    can anyone help me with an overlapping plot issue....?

  • Vneck

    PBA send us all your plot filenames

  • PBA Mining Company

    i know which obes overlapped and i deleted one

  • PBA Mining Company

    but now when i mine it scans and says 56%

  • PBA Mining Company

    how do i clean that up

  • Vneck

    No prob Superfriend wetware23. If I find it, I'll let you know

  • Vneck

    PBA pm me so I can help you. Or if you are on discord, you can message me there too. Plot issues take a little bit to troubleshoot

  • wetware23

    Vneck thanks again

  • PBA Mining Company

    iwill pm you
