Originally intended to be a thing of beauty rather than a sensory beast, the peppers measure a formidable 2.48 million on the Scoville heat scale, ahead of the 2.2 million achieved by the Carolina Reaper.

@HiDevin

RE: CPU importanceposted in General Discussion
@Blago I wonder if I'm not seeing high CPU usage because I only have a few plots totaling 223GB right now.
Every time I get some free time, I plot a few more GB to keep it growing

RE: Best/ easiest bitcoin walletposted in Off Topic
I've been using Exodus, and have my daily cloud mining payments go there.
I have about $18 worth of BTC that has built up from daily payments.
But when I go to send or exchange with the wallet, my fee is close to $16
This is not the case with my DASH daily payments, this is a BTC only situation.Here is the response from Exodus support:
If you type a small amount into the amount box it will show you the fee you have to pay to send BTC on the bottom right edge of the popup.
If you have a number of small payments over time from a mining contract when you finally send these out as one payout the Bitcoin network requires these inputs be put together and batched into one payment. The fees on these transactions are typically more than just sending a regular transaction.
Long story short, if you have a bunch of small inputs and have to combine those into one larger input this is more work on the Bitcoin network and requires a larger fee to process this transaction. This is similar to taking a large jar of change and counting it up, adding it all together then converting it into large bills and sending it on. I have seen fees as high as $10 - $70 for mining contract payouts that have gone on for years.
If you can get larger payments from your mining contract vs. daily small payments that will also help.
Here is more info on how Bitcoin transaction fees work:

Is there a way to work with poloniex to get burst on the lending section? -
RE: How many externals to a USB hubposted in System Builds and other hardware stuff.
@Propagandalf
Good point, all my externals have their own supplyI think I'll get an unpowered 10port, an only connect 3 or 4 at first and see how much of a difference there is each time I add one
My laptop has four 3.0 ports, so I plan to "max" them out before I buy a dedicated machine just for BURST-ing

RE: Fully Plottedposted in Help & Support
Also new to this, so someone might answer this better
It's my understanding that when you begin plotting, it makes the file the full size so it can't be interrupted or sparsed while writing
if you were interrupted at 28%, that means you only actually have the 7451Gb * 28% that it's mining
although the miner recognizes the full file, most of the file is just junk data -
RE: Am I mining right? not seeing many coins. (noob)posted in Mining & Plotting
@cretin
you didn't setup your pool properly
go back and set your pool, make sure your port number is correct when you do -
RE: Am I mining right? not seeing many coins. (noob)posted in Mining & Plotting
@ScreamIndevnull
also have an i7, but at all 8cores, about 10Knonces/sec
I run the 6 cores when I'm working during the day, and then kill it and change it to 8cores at night.I've found my biggest hindrance to performance is changing the RAM setting in xplotter, I have it set to 3GB when at 6 cores, and then 6GB when at 8cores.
and I've gotten mixed reviews about what the RAM setting actually does in xplotter though. -
HDD dealsposted in System Builds and other hardware stuff.
Just starting this topic to share some places where I go to find deals on HDDs
Feel free to add more search sites -
RE: Hard Drive deal postingsposted in General Discussion
@Bitdv
Thanks
I saw some postings, but it seemed to be people selling what they have.
I was wondering if there was a living list of deals that people are finding, and then could delete once the deal is done. Maybe a new topic in Marketplace?@haitch
I saw you posted a black friday deals 6months ago
wondering if we could start a topic that is a dynamic/ever changing list -
RE: New startposted in Introduce Yourself
Welcome!
I just started beginning of the month. Good group of people here, very helpful. -
RE: noob questionposted in General Discussion
@haitch Thanks! I'm going to reformat/plot my 1TB tonight, and I'm getting an 8TB tomorrow so I'll be sure to 64KB that one. Probably in 100GB increments from now on, because last time my 1TB took ~12hrs to plot
