High Deadlines
-
@DigDeep The network has grown a lot in the last few months, so you will need larger plots to get better deadlines. Forget the 32bit PC, bigger plots is whats required.

@iKnow0 Thanks for your input looks like I jumped back in at the wrong time maybe or should never have stopped mining burst but I started getting into a variety of cryptos and lost interest in burst well preferred to use my resources to mine something else, I'm still curious though if the CPU make any difference when plotting like how different algorithms work better with different chipsets, can I ask do you see anything like the deadlines I'm getting? I've tried looking at other peoples logs but there doesn't seem to be anything recent

@DigDeep Personally, I prefer GPU plotting. Only because I can parallel plot harddrives. GPU plotting just has so much more headspace to point its the speed of the harddrive become the plotting bottleneck.
-
@DigDeep Reporting any deadline greater than 48hrs (172800 seconds) is just a waste of pool resources i.m.o., as your deadlines are higher than most pools target deadline.
The faster the CPU the better for plotting, with GPU's being faster than most CPU's. The two best plotters are Xplotter and the java GPU plotter. The other way to speed up plotting is to use a very fast temp drive, such as SSD or a RAID0 array, then copy the plot when finished to the target drive.
-
@Havoc Yeah I tried the GPU plotter but just couldn't figure out how to configure it for my HDD/GPU combination so just went with xplotter :(
-
@DigDeep There is a readme file in the GPU plotter folder that explains it fairly well.
-
@iKnow0 just to confirm you personally don't see any deadlines been sent from your plots lets say higher then 100+ days?
-
@DigDeep They are found but not sent to pool.

Don't let Tross hear you say that .... ;-)

@haitch lol :-)

@iKnow0 Thanks
