@ProckN you are welcome, problem with the faucets is, that even they are quite well protected against abuse, for some it seams profitable spending a lot of time to empty them ...
For faucet.burst-team.us ... i just checked server ... either it is under attack or heavy load ... just restarted it, maybe that resolves the error.

RE: Burst Blockchain DDL - Updated Regular every 24h (Zipped)posted in Wallet
@boelle download blockchain as zip file from a centralized source, should always be only a fallback if nothing else works. In general just let the wallet sync. you can speed it up via GPU support:

RE: GPU plot generator v4.1.1 (Win/Linux)posted in Plotter
Found some time to finally test improved 'direct' mode in 4.1.1 (win)
Impressive work @cryo, thanks a lot. I always used the 'buffer' mode until now, due it was faster for me, to use that and optimize after that. But now 'direct' mode works just awesome, and i love directly create optimized plots.As i plotted with the same GPU that is used for mining with jminer ... I had to choose some quite conservative settings in devices.txt, to not slow down mining too much. So for my 'RX 480' i used:
1 0 8192 256 4096I only plotted to one drive at once for now. I suggest use as much memory as possible, as it reduces the needed drive operations and speeds up plotting a lot.
My 'plot.bat' file to be able to run as admin:
@setlocal @cd /d %~dp0 gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate direct E:/temp/12760599261465029898_7200000000_15257600_102400 @pause15257600 for a ~4TB drive
102400 to use 25GB of RAM (using ~6,25GB RAM reduces my nonces/minute by 25% )Quite sure i can tweak it a little more, but for me, even with the conservative settings, it was twice as fast as plotting optimized via CPU.
Round times with jminer increased by ~50% while plotting ... but both worked flawless together on same GPU. -

RE: 80TB Plotting and Optimise more efficient way?posted in Mining & Plotting
@Rodrigogmail said in 80TB Plotting and Optimise more efficient way?:
Hi, guys
What you would recommend to plotting and optimise 80TB?
They are separated into, x2 WD of 16TB (two internal HD of 8T ) and x6 Seagate of 8TB. There are 10HDs of 8TB. I have seen several videos but they are to basic.WD 16TB has 2x8TB WD Red i guess? You should use them as single drives, not as RAID!
You should plot to this drives ONLY and not to the Seagate, as the WD drives are PMR and Seagate are SMR (If they are Archive drives)
https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/2394/shingled-magnetic-recording-smrIs it a good idea to plot all of them at the same time on the same computer? OR can I do this on different computers? And then at the end just plug back all into the main computer? The Burst account recognise the plotts I need re-link then or something similar?
You can plot on multiple machines, just ensure your plotfiles do not overlap.
https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/288/plots-101/5I have a rig and I can use it for faster GPU plotting/optimisation. For example plotting each HD on a separate GPU, that is possible?
You can use one GPUPlotter instance to plot multiple drives at once ... you can provide multiple GPUs to the single GPUPlotter instance via devices.txt
You can use latest GPUPlotter https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/58/gpu-plot-generator-v4-1-1-win-linux in direct mode or Xplotter (CPU) ... to create optimized plotfiles directly.There are 10HD of 8TB, optimising them in the following order: 5HD optimised for the other free 5HD , then 2HD in to the free 2HD and I will get a one HD without optimisation.
I suggest create optimized plotfiles directly. Like mentioned above.
I did not found any information about managing large amounts of hard drives in a more efficient way, if someone can help, Thanks.
Conclusion:
Plot the WD red drives with GPUPlotter in direct mode ... maybe multiple drives at once, depending on your GPU(S) ... if finished copy over that plotfiles to Seagate Archive drives and repeat.
(Ensure the plots created on WD are not too big for Archive drives, few bytes could make the idea not working)
At same time or alternative you could use XPlotter with CPU. -
