@gpedro No idea, windows works fine for me ...
-
@luxe WOW that tutorial make it pretty easy haha Big thanks will look into it...
Another question: This will make the speed of writting/reading slower?
-
@gpedro You can mount drives as sub-directories of another drive. So USB Drive 1 can be c:\Drive1, USB Drive 2 is c:\Drive2 etc. No real limit to how many drives you can mount, as long as you can find a way to physically connect them.

@gpedro No does not make it slower ... for me it looks like:

ok Thanks for the intel on this xD
I don't want to sound repetitive but that list is so insane LOOL
-
@gpedro i just overflow the guide ... it's not accurate, you do not need to format or something, you just create a folder, enter the manager where you would assign another driveletter and choose the option to assign it to directory, after you remove the driveletter.

That's just the upper 1/4 of the list ...

To All,
Thought the hardware side of the equation gets the job done, my interest at this time is 'What aspects of PoC did you
use to determine what hardware to throw at plotting/mining?" In other words what parts of the discussion in scientific papers
(Burstcoin white paper) or forum discussions made you choose the components you use?What made you choose the CPU to have an efficient plotting/mining rig?
- CPU (Intel, AMD, Mac)
- Cores (2, 4, etc.)
- Speed (? MHz)
- ETC.
Same question for the HDD, Graphic Card(s), Motherboard, Software
- Graphic Card (Nvidia, Radeon, other)
- Memory (?GB)
- Read/Write speeds
- ETC.
All these decisions play an important part along with the Burst protocol to build a rig that uses the plotting/mining to its
best advantage-even the software you use is important. Any help you can give or maybe point me in th right Direction
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
-
@vadirthedark I can't be much help with this but one thing i noticed is that a Multythreading CPU's are better for both plotting and optimizing...
Regarding the rest of questions hope someone with more experience could help you... Although you forget to ask an important part... xD
I've been learning that for big BURST rigs one of the most important things are the MotherBoards so you could connect the most amount of drives either for USB 3.0 and for SATA, so you should ask about this too when planing to create a big RIG ;P
-
@gpedro or you can just buy a USB 3.0 hub with 10 or more connections to it. :)
-
@jervis The problem of the Hub is that if you have 90 drives like @luxe has on his rig, at a point of time each connection will start to split the speed between the drives xD
And if you want to have so many drives you need the maximum speed for each connection, right? xD
-
@gpedro A standard PC have default of 4 USB 3.0 hubs x 10 slots = 40 slots + 6 SATA slots. So, I'll get two PC's running and that should be it :)
But an i7 and crossfire GPUs can only do so much for 46 drives. I dont know what is what until I've tested it out :)
-
What is going on here? O.o
I just have a midi atx tower with 10 drives inside + 6 drives external all behind the TV Screen. No dedicated GPU. Most of the coins I have I actually bought.
@luxe You are begging for cancellation of your subscriptions, lol.
I'm glad that the developers of Burstcoin are so much invested into it - also with hardware. Also the resell value is really high and there is a big demand for used drives, too.
This is madness. I start to think that the difficulty of the network is wrongly calculated.

What's the big white thing on the right for?? ;-)
-
@nixxda its so his drives would be always warm :D you know when a drive catches cold its no good :D
-
@LithStud LOL
-
or maybe it runs in reverse!-)

Yeah but that will be the USB 3.0 speed splitted by 10 drives xD
As far as i understood @luxe is reading his 90 HDD's from just one GPU and it reads super fast hahaha

Starting yet... only 1 external hd with 2 tb. Planning to get some more hd next year, but in brazil is hard to get cheap equipment.
