Not sure if I'm doing this right :(
-
Ok.... just one more thing... i'm plotting the drive via GUI... therefore i wrote no bat file for this one.... when my electricity goes down can i just write the bat that you are telling me and I should be able to start from where it left of ... right? no matter if i started with no bat file (Sorry if im asking very noob questions and thank you for your patience)
-
correct. You will be able to continue with the GUI initiated file using the bat file.
-
Another question.... right now I'm on 20% of the process... If I stop it can I mine with the plot how it is right now and would be be roughly like mining with a 1 TB hard drive... right?
-
possible, but if you want to do that plot 5, 1TB files instead of 1 big 5TB file. Patience, the pain will be over soon :)
-
Ok... If im willing to do this to a considerable scale I would like you to recommend me some hardware that I can use for this purposes a.k.a. A motherboard with lots of USB ports and/or SATA ports.... and a good processor to mine... because it will take literally 10 days to mine with a celeron 2 cores.... what do you recommend me?
thank u! :D you guys are awesome for sharing this info with me!

I use a $350 laptop 22 USB 3.0 external drives. Don't need a powerful computer to mine. Plotting yes, mining no.
-
22 usb 3.0? how do you connect them? don't you have a bottle neck for conecting them on the same humble computer? those are the kind of technical questions that i do not know ...
-
The laptop has 1 USB 3.0 port. 3, Usb 3.0 hubs connect the 22 HDDs. Scan rate is 230 MB/s.
-
How do you achieve 230 MB/s? o.O I was getting 80 MB/s tops when mining with my old plot (using jminer and GPUs) o.O is there something im doing wrong?
btw... just wondering... let's say I have a cloud data storage service hired... Is is possible to write plots on my local computer, save them in this cloud storage and mine using those stored online instead of using my personal storage devices? In that case... could you guide me through that?
-
@TellezMiotta ,not sure why I'm getting 220, always did. I'm using win 10, cpu miner, not a superpowerful computer and USB 3.0.
You can do the cloud mining thing but I think it would take forever to 1) plot and transfer the files, and 2) scan the cloud files with a miner. There are people who use it but I don't think they have any serious capacity in the cloud. You need HDDs close to the miner, that's why it's called POC, proof of capacity.
-
@TellezMiotta 230MB/s over 22 drives = ~11MB/sec per drive.
Yes Cloud mining is possible, but difficult - there are some threads about it.

Once i tried to write the .bat file and make it work xplotter keeps crashing ....
-
The .bat file keeps crashing down.... I don't know what else to do :S
-
XPlotter_avx.exe is the problem... it keeps crashing down... don't know why....
-
@TellezMiotta , close the cmd window and restart. You may have a bad connection to the drive.
-
@rds said in Not sure if I'm doing this right :(:
cmd window
I already restared the computer and still the same issue :S
-
@TellezMiotta , make sure you have access to the drive. Can the drive be seen by the system? Show a screenshot right after you restart.

-
Please... I literally stopped ETH production from this rig just to have this experience and now this throws this error and it seems there nothing I can do? :S please help me i beg you
-
@TellezMiotta Please post the command you try to restart xplotter with (content of bat file) ... also could you provide a screen of the plotfile folder ... was a 2nd file created with zero size ? To restart you need to specify the number of nonces (-n 7629448).
XPlotter_avx.exe -id 1272343243245029898 -sn 100000000 -n 7629448 -t 4 -path C:\data\burst -mem 4GThe problem i had was i tried to run the following an Xplotter tried to create a new file instead of finish the existing one.
XPlotter_avx.exe -id 1272343243245029898 -sn 100000000 -t 4 -path C:\data\burst -mem 4G
