Burst Corrupted Plot Detector (BurstCPD)

Scans Burst mining logs and helps detecting corrupted plot files.

Scans Burst mining logs and helps detecting corrupted plot files so that problematic plot files can be re-plotted. It looks for deadlines conflicting with server and report related stats.

• Please note that this tool scans logs, not plot files, which means the plot file should be in use for a while to give meaningful results.

• Conflicts found does not necessarily mean that the plot file is corrupt. Consider re-plotting only if a consistent pattern that is different from other plot files is noticeable.

• Currently only Blago Miner logs are supported.

• Written in C++ to support PC, Mac and Linux.

• Tested only on Windows. Any testers are appreciated.
