@darindarin said in 100TB Burst rig questions:
@Dtrade16 welcome to burst.. like @Evo said surprised your comment went un answered so long, most things are answered relatively quick .. Evo also did a pretty good job giving you all the information so I will only give you an example.
I am 4-5 months new to burst.
started with 2tb and one machine.now this machine is plotting over 40tb with a mix of internals and externals (mostly externals)
I also started another machine with 8 x 8tb wd externals plotted to 59TBI have never once used my GPU as the CPU is what drew me to this coin.
My bigger machine can do from 300 - 3500 burst a day my smaller machine will do 150-2500 burst a day ... i know the the swings are very big due to spiking and unstable network difficulty..
the calculator is a great way to determine long results. as you will see swings and will not produce what you think some days and way better others..
I would start with the 20tb and see how you do .. as long as your read speeds are under 60 seconds you should be pretty well off.. You plot once so like evo also pointed out SMRs are the slowest plotting but least expensive I own a few.
hope you find your niche and start producing some coins
let us know if you need any help
Hello,
Thank you for having me. This is a great community and an interesting project. I've heard people using their CPU to mine as well so I may start off with that first and see how it goes.
I broke my CPU cooler and I'm in the process of getting a new one. As soon as I do, I will get this loner desktop up and running and get a better understanding of everything.
After I do that, I will start to build out a real miner.
Thanks for the help and I'll be sure to post updates on my build.
