Problems with plotting Google Drives
-
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.
-
@crutsy don't worry i'll do... Not only for you but for the whole community xD

What is that feature? some kind of FON? https://fon.com/
-
@gpedro We have xfinity comcast isp. They automatically broadcast a second wifi from your modem unless you turn it off. So basically every neighbor in the area has the same service and all through out town. FON is interesting, the should allow free access if you are like a relay for them that would be cool.
-
@crutsy Fon is only good for internet on the mobile and only for do something real quick... The FON network is extremally volatile...
So it's a simillar project of FON, maybe it works better since that network is only for that modem and not use the modem as a repeater... so you don't have to crack their wifi. It's a lot easier to do it... you can also enter in the modem configuration page if they have wifi configuration able and put all channels to the shared wifi xD
-
@crutsy and yes they ask for credit card so it's out of my equation xDD
-
If mining on Google-Drives the miner has to read/download the Plots on every Block. Is there any recommendation for the ratio between online plotsize and the downloadspeed of your internet connection?
I have only 7Mbit download-speed and would like to know if it worth to try mining on cloud-storage.
-
@piezo it just increases the read time is all. I have 25mbit down and it seems to handle 300Gb
-
@crutsy
Thanks...i will try to upload 100Gig and see what happens :)
