I like to announce a new version of my Linux miner/plotter/plot optimizer:

https://bchain.info/dcct_miner.tgz
sha256: eca303c3f2fb46a698797eab707bcc927614cfdd135c8e17114b52a6c962d641

How to use it
Download and unpack it:
wget https://bchain.info/dcct_miner.tgz
tar -xvzf dcct_miner.tgz

Then compile it:
make

or if you use 32-bit Linux:
make linux32

If you really can't compile it use the ones in "bin".

Now you have 3 tools:

The C plotfile generator

This tool creates plotfiles. In simple mode use it like this:

This will fill the entire disk with a single plot file using a random start nonce, 80% of available memory and max. threads.

Or specify:

for starting nonce 100000, 500GB plot size, 10GB memory usage and 3 threads.

The plot optimizer utility

The new version is a LOT faster!

If you created your plots with a small stagger size, processing them takes a long time. You might miss your deadline if its found too late!
The utility optimizes your already created files making them a lot faster to read.

How to use it?


Or process your whole plot directory:


You can limit the memory usage, for example to 1GB:


It will replace your plot files with optimized ones.

This does not work for incomplete plotfiles.

The miner

You want to use your plotfiles to generate coins, this is where the miner is used.

For solo mining put your passphrase in a file called "passphrases.txt". It supports only one passphrase and uses the files first line.
Avoid spaces before/after your passphrase.

Then start the miner:


For example:


Each directory is read by a separate thread. If you use multiple HDD's try to use one directory per HDD, this is fastest.

The miner creates some nice output:

When seconds left approach zero, you likely found a block.

Make sure to synchronize your clock! (ntpdate ...)

The miner also supports pool mining:
For uray's pool use:


For dev's pools (share based)


or

With this much RAM you could possible use 262144 as stagger size, or you try the async-mode.

Great new version, thanks dcct!  

The optimizing tool, is it still restricted to 10 digit long nounces?

Is it normal for the dev's pool miner to be using somewhere around 8GB of physical RAM?  Using Xmx750.  Also, it's not released when the miner is shut down.

I'm getting tired of you and timk225 Fudding this coin, or anyone else. If you don't have anything positive to contribute to the coin, then please leave the thread. Burst isn't the only coin on a downtrend, BTC and others are too. Was a good coin? It's still is and will be a good coin for the future. I wouldn't want people like you on a team, quitters and selfish. Help yourself and go get some self improvement lessons about humanity and being humble.

Heeeeeelp! What is wrong with this ?     Always get "Passphrase does not match reward recipient"

U prob changed the reward assignment.

It´s not starting to do this without your help.
Just undo what you did, set the correct reward recipient.

pool mining or solo? when pool: which pool?
