Problems with plotting Google Drives



  • @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



  • @crutsy I don't even thinked if NetDrive as a Linux compatible version... I was looking for Burst tools for Linux and will first pack all material together, i don't create the account yet but if they don't ask for Credit Card i think i can use all my google accounts to create a 15 day trial (so far 16 accounts) xD I think that the miner doesn't use much CPU and i think that could work but the 512 mb Ram could be a problem... But we usually say that without testing, nobody has certains!
    I've one more card in the sleeve that is use VM's with different WiFi Connections to have more bandwidth, so put all my 70 years old neighbors mining with Google Clouds without they even notice that xD but that will take a lot of time, and with my current PC if i put that in course i can't do anything than mining for certain... My Google Cloud limitations for now are network bottleneck and alphabetic letters to establish drives xD



  • @gpedro Good luck they usually want a credit card on file to start a trial. They ask about the billing period right in the trial sign up. The ram would be the bottle neck but doable. If you can get that many accounts registered let me know! 15gb*25 drives is 375GB per setup.

    The VM is smart I may try that at some point to. With my internet service I can log onto the neighbors modem with my sign in. I wonder what speed they would give me.
