New miner, plotting 1.5TB takes +24hours ?
-
Hi All,
I just found Burst yesterday and started plotting some drives on my desktop that i was hardly using.
It's a intel i5 with an old gpu that doesn't support burst apearantly.
I've got 8GB of RAM and plotting 3 partitions aka 150GB,465GB, 784GB .
The 2 small partitions are done plotting but the largest of 784GB seems to take forever, after 20 hours i'm at 60%
I hope to start mining soon.

Always been intrested in mining, i have an antminer S5 for bitcoins.
But burst specialy caught my attention because of the way it works and the low power consumption.
Thinking of adding a big hard drive on my desktop when all works out well.

@Zeroroel Welcome to the Burst community. Check out the assets while you are waiting for your plots to finish :-) https://forums.burst-team.us/category/6/asset-exchange

@Zeroroel An i5 will take longer yes. My i7 does about 10K Nonces so it is normal to take that long. Welcome to Burst!

@CryptoNick , i'm running at around 7-8k so all seem to be normal

@Zeroroel Still time to sell your S5 when the bitcoin is over 1000. Just sold my last 2 S3's. Since shutting down all aisic mining except for usb miners I can run 6 computers and 2 servers for still less than half the price of electricity when running an S1,S3,S3 and S5.

@Burstde i just shut down my S1, 2 weeks ago when i bought the S5 lol. It also doubles for a basement heater to keep the humidity low.
I know i put more in the antminer then i get from it but it has brought me another oportunity in the form of mine renting making my hashing power double for the same power consumption, also making my cost and profit level out to positive.

@Zeroroel What a great idea, it uses the same watts too, thanks and I can undervolt it too
