    Just an FYI,
    The stagger as related to RAM is a Windows issue.  Linux does not have these problems.  But  ibeleive Blago's latest update handles the Windows file caching issues, which is related to stagger size.

    Increasing stagger size puts your drive closer or into its sequential read performance band.  The lower the stagger the more you will be operating within the random read rate of the drive.

    Under Linux and DCCT's base code, stagger has no effect on system RAM usage.  I have ~20 Plot files, ranging in size from 500GB to 1TB all optimized (large stagger)and they happily mine away for 7 days straight without used system RAM going over 1GB.  I'm sure it will run longer than 7 days, but I like to fiddle to much, and I'm sure the miner uses less than 1GB but that's the number I remember seeing this after-noon.  My mining box also runs a PLEX media server so RAM is being used by that also.

    TLDR:

    Large Stagger will affect Windows 7 mining performance, Blago's newest miner addresses this issue.  Windows 8/8.1 also reduces this issue.

    Stagger size under Linux is a variable that increases or decreases read rate, no effect on system RAM usage (DCCT Urray Code).

    Good-Luck

    Hi,

    I've just installed Ubuntu but I'm not familiar with linux os and the file system.
    I think second from bottom line is correct usage ? not sure what I'm missing.


    Do "chmod +x mine_dev_v2.sh" (only need to do this once), then "./mine_dev_v2.sh  <the rest of the command line>"

    H.


    Thanks, I got through the permissions problem.

    But I think I need the numeric ip of burst.ninja or the format to enter it as an url in mine_dev_v2.sh ?


    Edit: I get the same error with V1 miner too?
    the original default ip works but I have no idea which pool this is for.
