Problems with plotting Google Drives



  • @gpedro

    Hey man I found it to slow to try to even think of plotting up to google drive and MSloth OneDrive. The time it was taking was heating the rest of my system up.
    What I did:Try plotting Local and copy the plot file up.
    If you have unlimited Google has a limit on the size of the file (To Copy) I believe its 250 Gigs. So you gotta break it down and just throw up a shit ton of 250 Gig plots Make sure you map the drive and reconnect at logon that helps keep it alive. also set it to sink every six hours or so with just one small txt file that will keep it alive. When mining. Google was to much of a pain in the ass, One Drive was more forgiving more space initially W/WinDoz 10. I just use bare minimum. I am sure just a matter of time before GUggle and MSloth figure it out. Good luck Bud hope you get it working.

    Kind Regards,

  • Your internet speed will directly correlate with how much you are able to mine on a google cloud. It can be done and google is the best in my testing. I a few hundred GB running flawlessly for over a month.



  • @LostBoy Plot directly trough NetDrive doesn't work for me too... If i had an infinite cloud storage would be so nice xD
    @crutsy what i will try to do is to put like 3 drives reading in parallel with my local plots and the others (in a group of 5 each or so) after the miner reads the local ones, like that you could be reading plots until the end of the block and you could even hit a deadline of 1 minute on your last Google Drive cloud. As soon i've finished my uploads of the 13 plots to the drives i will start testing witch are my best speeds with that drives (i've been doing this in the last days and only left 2 uploads xP)



  • @gpedro It is my thinking that you want it to happen right away. On fast blocks you would miss out and I would think it would increase overall read time. However I am always open to testing! Looking forward to your results.

    I have been busy but plan on adding to my google drive to test the limits.



  • @crutsy Yes that it... as soon as i do my tests i will post the results... If i can do this the most important thing don't is the space anymore is the space i can read in a block time xD



  • @crutsy
    Good to know it works, I find OneDrive working better than Google for me. Would like to get both, every sector counts in my book:)

  • @LostBoy the limit here is only the bottleneck of your network bandwitch you should see what is faster for you and put that at the maximum limit of what you can. That's how we play in my book xP



  • @crutsy @LostBoy I've discover that the upload is like 1 h faster if you upload in a folder instead of being the file. I guess Google don't limits the folder upload but limits the file upload....



  • @gpedro That is very interesting I will have to try that. Are you sure nothing else changed in that time? My upload can take an hour longer if my lady is watching netflix all night. haha she looses high def when burst is mining a block tho



  • could I plot a 100b file on drive R:\plots, and then move it to drive S:\plots?



  • @LeG3NdArYPhiL Yes you can move plots around just make sure you don't overlap them when your plotting.



  • @crutsy yes i am sure... My upload speed up about 0,5Mbps when i try with a folder! 14Gb have taken 4h to 4:30h if i don't use anything at the same time (except mining with my local drives, of course, that's 24/7 xD). If i am streaming some movie doesn't affect much my connection to Google after 1 or 2 minutes... And don't mine with Google Drives if you are uploading to them (this hurts serioslly your connection to them). I didn't optimize my plots, that will make difference in my 14Gb plots? I've tried but my optimizer idles when i click on optimize and never optimize anything...



  • @gpedro I feel you have to optimize. You will loose a bunch of read time if you don't



  • @crutsy Hmm ok i will try to figure out why my optimizer don't optimize...



  • @gpedro
    LOL Morons:) Google That is. :)

    I've discover that the upload is like 1 h faster if you upload in a folder instead of being the file. I guess Google don't limits the folder upload but limits the file upload....



  • @gpedro That's awesome I can confirm that it is a bit faster to upload a folder instead of the file.

    And a second note net drive just had an update it seems to work even better and has bug fixes for Microsoft one drive and I think amazon.



  • @crutsy Cool... I've mange to get a free 7 days trial of a VPS with 10Gbit connection and i will try to upload from them to google and try to mine there to see if this could be a thing... All considerations will be in the HowTo that i will made when i finally finish my setup completely... And my optimized plots speed is about 0,4Mbit/sec (each) when before optimize them was around 0.1Mbit/sec to 0,0Mbit/sec each drive. Of course this values on the miner... In my Task Manager i've got around 1Mbit/sec!



  • @gpedro I've thought about that and looked into it a little. I couldn't find anything good where they didn't want a credit card.

    How much is the service after the trial? I can't imagine it would be very cost effective.



  • @crutsy take a look at https://incloudibly.net/en/vps... This is the most cheap i could find and the cheapest in their service could be around 2,40$/month if you pay for the whole year in advance



  • @gpedro hmm would be a little ruff with only 1 core and 512mb ram. Even then I would spend a bunch of time getting as many clouds together as you can before run the trial. That way you spend all the time mining.

    It only supports Linux/FreeBSD. Not that it can't be done but would be a lot to set up for me. Hopefully netdrive has a linux compatible build?

    Man if burstcoin was around when I was in high school I'd do a botnet so fast lol
