Any chance for a mining pool?

now, I am miing with my  run_mine.bat file  set  like :  java -Xmx1000m -cp pocminer.jar;lib/*;lib/akka/*;lib/jetty/* pocminer.POCMiner mine "http://127.0.0.1:8125"%* 
what's the difference of the different value of  Xmx      , Is the value bigger the better or somthing else??

The pool situation:

I understand pools are needed, as it is getting very difficult to solo mine. As plots are specific to the account address the coins will go to, this poses a bit of a problem. Pool support will be released in 2 steps:

1. A pool server program will be created that supplies users each a unique address to generate plots for. The user's plots for mining with that pool will only be usable for that pool. This will be released and a pool will be set up hopefully within a few days. It will be very simplistic to try to get it released as soon as possible.

2. Later on, a new client will be released to update the protocol. A user will then be able to announce to the network an address where their mined coins will go to instead of their own. This will allow pool miners to generate plots for themselves, and mine at any pool by setting their mining output address to the pool they want to use.

my computer has a RAM DDR3  8G,,    is Xmx 1000m ok , or bigger value is better?

What happen to our existing SOLO Plot file, Wasted? Can it be reuse on the pool itself ?

The block maturing is referring to the amount of blocks that coins had to sit before they could be using in proof of stake in the original nxt code. I didn't realize it displayed that until after release, so the display wasn't removed. The coins can be spent just fine.

So, there's no maturity for the coin, just instantly on the network to send/receive?

Hey dev, you haven't answered my question about putting drives in arrays to increase drive capacity via Raid 0 to make larger plots. Would it increase the mining speed at all? How do you link a single wallet to multiple drives?

Raid 0 isn't a good idea. The total size of all your plot files is what matters, so it doesn't matter how they're split, so there's no advantage. However, there is a major disadvantage to raid0, since if you were to have a hdd fail, you lose all the plots instead of one drive's worth

Regardling linking, on linux I would assume you could do it with the ln command. On windows I'm not sure.

A config file with paths to look into would be nice so you could run one miner over multiple drives... xD
