Picking a pool with slow USB speed
-
@haitch I think the GPU would be faster its a Titan X as apposed to a 2011 technology 3930k CPU.
-
@weaveR Yep, I'd presume a lot faster.
-
openCL reads 95mb per second for me as opposed to 44mb per second with default or avx is launched from burst client. i am usb3 user. And my gpu is a budget nvidia 730gt (And a single 4TB plot) hope this helps! :)
-
@ZapbuzZ Yeah I get about 60-100mbps when all the drives are scanning at once with AVX but each drives doing only like 14 - 31mbps for me
@haitch I've got 2 6TB drives I probably could wipe one and optimize one of the drives plots then replot the 2nd drive does it take long to optimize with the optimizer?
-
it took me 5 days to plot 4tb with cpu plotter and 15 hours to optimise it with optimiser thats with AMD cpu (4gb ram)
-
@weaveR Generally less time than plotting, but there is a lot of disk activity so it'll take a while.
But if you use the Titan X - you can plot them optimized from the get go.
-
@ZapbuzZ Lol wow I managed to plot 6TB in about 2 days the Titan X must be good at plotting it lags the hell out of my computer when I do it.
@haitch Yeah copying terabytes of data to a mechanical drive takes a long time.

@ZapbuzZ I have a 1.2 TB NVMe SSD ......

1 TB would give you bugger all burst coins anyway
-
@weaveR It was about $650-$700 from memory, and I don't mine with it :) It's the primary drive in my primary PC.
-
@haitch Hah I'm a mechanical drive man I use 2 TB's mirrored for my primary OS drives it's slow but at least I won't lose my data if one of them die I've nearly lost my data twice already because of 2 drives dieing lucky I had a backup.

@weaveR My important data is in dropbox, I lose the drive, not the end of the world - and the endurance of this one is supposed to be great.
-
@haitch Don't you have to pay a subscription for that? I'd probably just upload to my google drive for free or get a backup drive if I didn't already have a mirror, I did have a backup drive too but now thats being used to get burst coins
-
@weaveR Yeah, it's like $99, for which I get 1TB, which is perfect for me.
-
@haitch Lol google drive gives you that for free.
-
@weaveR yeah, and scans all your stuff so they can improve their profile of you.
"If You're Not Paying For It, You Become The Product"
I work in schools - Google had to change their policies so as to NOT scan kids documents, you don't get that protection.
-
@haitch Yeah I'd probably upload an encrypted archive if I was to do it.
