@crowetic As far as I know they don't take Burst/BTC - I'll see what other methods are available. If the orders were going through me, I could do it in Burst/BTC, but they want to do individual accounts.
Did you see my PM for the additional drives?

RE: Xplotter uses more threads than available??posted in Mining & Plotting
@rds said in Xplotter uses more threads than available??:
@blago, I transferred a bat file template from an 8 thread computer to a 4 thread computer. I forgot to change the # of threads to 4 and started plotting on the 4 thread computer. I was using 1G of memory so when the file started the header said, 256 nonces/thread. When I discovered the error I changed the bat file to 4 threads and restarted it. Then the header said 512 nonces/thread.
So question is, is the plotfile section that was made with the 8 thread bat file only half filled with nonces? With the other 4 threads never being written to the drive or does the Xplotter program know how to deal with idiotic mistakes, like what i did?

RE: Bought 500TB now what? Newcomer to Burstcoin.posted in Mining & Plotting
@Zwurg said in Bought 500TB now what? Newcomer to Burstcoin.:
An other Option would be to Plott the SMR Drives simultaneously.
Set the Threads in Xplotter lower to find the optimum to the write speed and than copy the .bat File and set continuous start nonces (start nonce +nonces=next start nonce)Or try this:

RE: ddos rainbow toaters are just that..posted in General Discussion
@haitch , regarding 'getmining info' 10 times a second, I will say the reason I left ccminer a few days ago was that my jminer was reporting 'getminerinfo' failed over and over, usually after a round was completed, but not always. Possibly , as the server gets bogged down, more and more legitimate miners exacerbate the "attack"?

SMR? it will be nightmare ... i waked up,and bought PMR after testing SMR ... uff...good luck ...
it was big mistake buy your drives :(What nightmare? You set the plotter to do 1TB file at a time check it every few days and move the completed files into the farm directory and you are mining while plotting.

@crowetic so I'm giving this another go..... all through my Tb's are not finding many blocks these days..!-/
I very, very much like the fact that your paying Tx fees to the miners! Ninja is the first pool doing this as far as I know!
Could you share your Pool-fee Addy? That'll be the ultimate step of transparency!-) -

@agente , are you sure you're connected to a usb 3.0 port?
-
RE: Bulk Purchase ?posted in System Builds and other hardware stuff.
@haitch , ok great, one more thing, haha, does the card have to be in the PCI x16 or PCI x8 to insure the high speed or is any one of the expansion slots on the mobo ok, even the real short one? I have 4 USB 3.0 controller cards and a GPU currently in the slots now.

RE: Bulk Purchase ?posted in System Builds and other hardware stuff.
@haitch , ok, thanks.
This one is right under it in the ebay listing, will it work, $195??

RE: ORICO HDD docking 4bay write speedposted in System Builds and other hardware stuff.
@agente ,
are you having a general write speed issue or plotting write speed. The plotter (Xplotter, specifically) calculates a chunk of data and then writes it to the disk. Those writes are in bursts, which sustained should be greater than 20/30 but if the allocated memory to the plotter is low you will be writing small chunks that may be finished before the monitoring software can display the peak. Just a thought. If you mean a sustained write is 20/30 looks like the device is acting like USB 2. Do you have it plugged into a USB 3.0 port?

RE: Bulk Purchase ?posted in System Builds and other hardware stuff.
@haitch said in Bulk Purchase ?:
@rds Definitely doable. That's how I plan to expand my servers using: http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/4U/847/SC847E26-RJBOD1
You'd need a a SAS card with two external connectors, that'll take care of all drives via internal expanders, and the external chassis can be daisy chained to another
Can you point me to a typical SAS2 card for the pC and the connectors I would need for the 24 drive. box?
Also, I will commit to 24 drives.

RE: Bulk Purchase ?posted in System Builds and other hardware stuff.
@haitch said in Bulk Purchase ?:
@rds Yep SAS2 controller AND backplane to break the 2TB barrier. For the OS I use a 500GB SSD drive connected to one of the systems SATA3 controllers. And specify a large swap file on the SSD.
OS Installed via USB thumb drive.
Does this sound doable??
I have an existing PC computer with six SATA III drives and 25- USB 3.0 external drives running a GPU miner.
Can I put a 6x4 SAS controller PCI card in it and run 6 SAS connectors to a 24 bay server box?
The server box would house the HDDs plugged into the SAS2 backplane. It would also have 1 or 2 integrated power supplies to provide power to the HDDs. The server box would be near enough to the computer box to connect the 6 SAS cords to the SAS controller card in the PC.
No MoBo, Ram etc in the server box.
As I have all my drive letter allocated in the PC, I would continue mounting the 24 new drives as c:\Drive55, c:\Drive56, etc.
What do you think?

RE: Bulk Purchase ?posted in System Builds and other hardware stuff.
So look for SAS2 to break the 2TB barrier.
Is one of the 24 drives the OS drive or do you have an extra OS drive as well?
External CD to load an OS?

@haitch said in Bulk Purchase ?:
@haitch Just talked to my supplier to clear up some questions.
-
Drives will be $177 each, free shipping in the USA. International shipping will be an additional cost,on a case by case basis, and any import/customs fees are the responsibility of the purchaser.
-
The drives are warrantied until 2020, not the usual eBay 30 days.
-
If we can put together an order for more than 100 drives, we'll get better pricing.
The Payment/shipping arrangement will be that you paypal me the funds, I pay my supplier in one bulk payment, with your address and quantity, they'll ship directly.
I'll hold the order window open up to July 3rd. If you want to order, paypal the funds to hamish@haitch.net , and include your shipping address in the transfer message. July 3rd I'll submit the order to my supplier, and the drives will ship from there.
H.
Questions,
What type of OS do you run on your internal drive systems?
The drives all plug into a SAS2 backplane?
The backplane supplies the power to the drives without cords?
The backplane is internally attached to the Mother board?I have 3 rigs and they're all desktop type computer based some SATA III internals but mostly externals USB 3.0.
I would consider a rig like yours (server with many bays and internal drives) if I could wrap my arms around the server cost. You said yours was 2k. That seems pricy to me. I see many on ebay for less but there must be a catch no? I know you said SAS2 but is SATA III just as good?
Nice the deadline is July 3. I'm going to do some shopping and reading about servers, but if I decide to do it I'm in for 24 drives.
