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

  • 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

    Do you have an 8 core CPU?


    You should set threads to your number of CPU Cores.


    If you have 4 Cores make Threads 3 if you are going to use the PC.

  • Burst Life,


    This is very intriguing & goes against everything that has previously been taught. You have aroused my curiosity, and I must now perform a small experiment:


    I will use your SPlotter to create small plots on an 8tb Seagate Expansion & compare it to a continuous non-stop plot with Xplotter on an 8tb Seagate Expansion. I will also use the same computer with the same settings for each. Oh.... I will also make sure they're in the same docking station using the same connection speed. The only variable that will change is the small vs. large plots.


    Argh!! I'm in the middle of several plotting sessions at the moment, but I will do this experiment A.S.A.P.



    TBC...

  • Burst life:

    Thanks, again. I turned of bios virtualisation, (there is no other on asus) cpu usage jumped to 80%


    speed dropped:

    15min --> 5-7min

  • Well that looks very interesting indeed. If it's true then the first mover advantage is particularly important too because as soon as everybody's done this there's no advantage anymore of course. So I'm eager to try this ASAP.


    Based on that screenshot it looks like you're about 5 times as efficient (in terms of your share vs capacity) would you say that's what you see every day? Because that is huge (and not intended by Burst's PoC design I think).

    Yes and Yes, I'm higher up the list today.


    at the moment I see this as an opportunity for new people to make a few coins without having to buy 10 externals but I imagine everyone will eventually do this and then new-comers will be at an exponential disadvantage..

    No I imagine it isn't, But they have to base it off the Plot and not the Drive because you might not use the entire drive to make your plot, I don't see this being changed any time soon.

    I'm having the same issue. My nonce rate goes from about 10k/min to about 2.5k/min after the first nonce is completed. How would I fix this?

    Edit: There was some hard-coding in XPlotter i didn't notice, This is fixed now :)

    Check out SPlotter It makes lots of small plots automatically!

    The post was edited 2 times, last by Burst Life: Reassigning threads is now part of starting the next plot. ().

  • <3 That is a great idea!


    Let me know how it goes! (I'm sure you will ahah)

  • It sounds to me like you're using more threads than CPU cores or you're trying to use the computer while its plotting. The core code of this is basically XPlotter, There is no reason you should be lacking performance.

    When I run XPlotter, I have an i7700k, so though its a 4 core CPU, its hyperthreaded so when I run xplotter I set -t 6. For splotter, do I go by cores and disregard the hyperthreading?


    EDIT: SO I tried setting -t 3 and I still get a performance decrease to 2.5k nonces per minute. I have no issue with Xplotter, and I have no issue with the first nonce of Splotter, it's after that where the issue lies.

    EDIT 2: When I see the performance decrease after the second nonce, I'm only using roughly 20% CPU power.


  • lol.

    Nobody seen the code?

    added 2 strings:

    https://github.com/SamuelNZ/SP…/master/SPlotter.cpp#L275

    https://github.com/SamuelNZ/SP…/master/SPlotter.cpp#L491

    NOBODY use "goto" in c++, it's bad programming style


    "potential to give you significantly better dead-lines." - HOW?

  • darksun20

    2 days approx is all I was looking for

  • Magic Brando

    it's not called green though :D

  • Magic Brando

    and it's no slower than standard desktop hdds

  • bootmeup

    Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5'' HDD 10TB (Helium) 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache Standard 4Kn

  • Magic Brando

    I would not waste a 4kn helium drive for burst mining!

  • bootmeup

    well got 7..heheh

  • the_ko

    you guys think burst will hit 1-2k sats any time soon?

  • Magic Brando

    1 maybe, 2 no way

  • the_ko

    why not 2?

  • the_ko

    i mean it almost hit 1k a few days ago

  • the_ko

    i mean it almost hit 1k a few days agi

  • bootmeup

    lucky MB...heheh

  • Magic Brando

    it requires a lot more publicity first and gotta remove fixed 1 burst fee

  • Magic Brando

    maybe it will hit 2k end of 2018

  • Magic Brando

    hopefully

  • the_ko

    i made 30k when dgb went from 300 sats to 2.6k sats in a month. i think you are wrong. we will see.

  • Magic Brando

    I don't know DGB, but burst needs time

  • the_ko

    time for what? it's a undervalued coin.

  • bootmeup

    or someone big pumping it...heheh

  • the_ko

    if shit coins like dgb and bitshares can hit .10 and .45 then a good coin like burst can surely hit atleast 2k sats even with out a pump, just a good rally.

  • the_ko

    last week burst was top 5 on polo, top 10 on world coin index and top 60 on coinmarketcap. then that bullshit eth hoax crashed the market.

  • Magic Brando

    I think good coins hit high consistently and with time

  • Magic Brando

    the crappy coins tend to fluctuate a lot

  • the_ko

    thats also wrong, look at ether

  • the_ko

    ether went from 80$ to 380$ in a month.

  • the_ko

    mono went from 1$ to 50$ in a few months

  • Magic Brando

    yes and dumped to a dollar in half an hour

  • the_ko

    what did?

  • Magic Brando

    which made me 6 grands

  • the_ko

    eth is worth 320$ right now

  • Magic Brando

    eth

  • the_ko

    that was cuz of a bullshit flash crash

  • Beerus Madness

    look at burst in recent days, even after eth crashed, burst has had steady indicative growth, I think we are on the tipping point right now, it wont be the same sort of gains like eth

  • the_ko

    had nothing to do with the real value of the coin

  • Beerus Madness

    but it will be steady

  • the_ko

    had nothing to do with the real value of the coin

  • Magic Brando

    "real" value of the coin?

  • the_ko

    i researched all top 100 coins, and burst is a sleeping giant.

  • Magic Brando

    oh yeah, I agree 102%

  • the_ko

    very very undervalued. .30 cents is even undervalued.

  • the_ko

    i say 1$ by end of 2018/start of 2019.

  • the_ko

    but who knows, crypto is impossible to predict.

  • Magic Brando

    I hardly doubt it will hit $1 til they change the fixed fee

  • Beerus Madness

    it depends, the issue with burst is how much of the coins are in circulation and most of it is held in a few wallets

  • affenmann666

    great show misterburst

  • the_ko

    isnt it the exchanges who bought alot of it?

  • Magic Brando

    poloniex owns about 40% of burst

  • mike2279

    did we not see adam say he has like 30% or more of all burst

  • Magic Brando

    very possible

  • Beerus Madness

    The top 20 wallets own 75% of all burst

  • bootmeup

    what % left to mine?

  • Magic Brando

    couple of months ago it was 20% left

  • Beerus Madness

    16.8 now

  • bootmeup

    okay thanks...

  • the_ko

    i mean, tell me why burst isnt worthy of taking dgbs spot, or bitshares? they are the most bullshit pump and dump coins ever, yet they hit 600m/1bill marketcaps

  • Beerus Madness

    Too much of the total coin availability is gone and its only just coming into the spotlight

  • Magic Brando

    exactely because people are attracted by quick money ride

  • the_ko

    dgb was hardly talked about until it mooned

  • Beerus Madness

    Imho, burst is an "experimental" coin currently, its gaining attention and traction, but a new coin based on the same proof of capacity, where theres no bullshit ico or premine

  • Magic Brando

    that's fomo for you

  • mike2279

    there are a lot of coins out there no one every talks about but way more in price then burst

  • Beerus Madness

    once a new PoC coin is launched, us guys who have hard drives ready, we will be the real winners ;)

  • mike2279

    if they ever do it again

  • Magic Brando

    I'd like to see you replot 150TB of hard drives for a new coin ...

  • Beerus Madness

    im plotting about 2tb an hour currently, so, 3 days, not that much of an issue

  • Magic Brando

    not everybody has nasa equipment in their homes, Beerus

  • bootmeup

    heheh

  • Beerus Madness

    haha :)

  • nkupop

    sup guys

  • bootmeup

    hi pop

  • Magic Brando

    I'll play a match of OW

  • the_ko

    mike2279 thats becuase they have low ammount in circulation like 90m -100m burst has 1.8b with a total of 2.15b so ofc burst is going to be lower price then a coin with lower ammounts.

  • bootmeup

    i should have got one less drive and got motherboard and memory....but i did not know plotting needs power to get done fast

  • applecrisp

    do asset shares in a sell order still count for dividends?

  • ZenMaster

    Applecrisp.. YES

  • Magic Brando

    yeah, you just lost 500, zen

  • Beerus Madness

    bootmeup, imho, send your stuff back and wait for threadripper

  • ZenMaster

    yup, sucked balls

  • Magic Brando

    hey you put em on sale ...

  • bootmeup

    think thats going to be like 800.00 to 900.00 range..to much for me

  • ZenMaster

    oh, I thought you meant the 500 Burst I lost on Bitsler... weird coincidence

  • mike2279

    its not ofc the-ko that is a factor in a lot of them yes but the coins are the value of what we the people think they are worth its a free market buying and selling and what might be thats where the money comes from

  • bootmeup

    i could do it, but little left for drives

  • Beerus Madness

    do all your organs work?

  • Beerus Madness

    Kidney, buys a lot of hardware :D

  • bootmeup

    hope so...why?

  • bootmeup

    oh...heheh

  • mike2279

    lol

  • ZenMaster

    Magic Brando... I sent you a private message

  • bootmeup

    i will pass..im old and dont want to be cut on...:)

  • ZenMaster

    You can sell Plasma (blood) where I live and make pretty decent money

  • bootmeup

    if i could get amd driver working on linux...and build the gpu plotter...my rx580 would maybe help

  • MisterBurst

  • bootmeup

    MB you so lucky.. i saw you win again...heheh

  • fhaman

    yeah he is, I tried his method, but I need more funds, couldnt sustain a losing streak long enough to get the win. will have to save my burst for a few days to play it right

  • fhaman

    I blew all my burst yesterday on assets

  • bootmeup

    i try, but only 30 burst and bet .01 and soon the box pop up about bet more then i had or something...heheh

  • MisterBurst

  • fhaman

    lol same here bootmeup

  • fhaman

    have you tried your system with Doge MB? I have some doge laying around ;)
