'Plot Read' line displaying double nonces number

Open bsom opened this issue 10 years ago • 3 comments

plot read done. 2960210911709443567_3500000_100032_100032 = 200064 nonces plot read done. 2960210911709443567_10000000_100032_100032 = 200064 nonces plot read done. 2960210911709443567_322222222_100032_100032 = 200064 nonces plot read done. 2960210911709443567_9200000_100032_100032 = 200064 nonces

Is this just a bug in the display code or are nonces really being read twice?

I found that changing the maxBufferSizeMB setting in the conf file effects the apparent number of nonces read from a plot. Increase maxBufferSizeMB and the number of nonces increases, decrease maxBufferSizeMB and the number of nonces decreases.

miner will always read nonce multiply of buffersize, if you specify buffer size of 1MB, and read 3.5 MB plot file, it should read nonce multiply of 4 nonce (1MB = 4 nonces), so it will say read 16 nonces. because miner will read your plot 4 times (each read is 1MB)

this excessive read is bug, but not considered as critical since all your nonces is fully read

Understood. Thanks.
