this is a good explanation, thank you for that.
and the last thing - how do i actually know when my mining is completed, or does it just continue mining forever until i close the mining window?

Ahh ok, so the bigger the single plot file is the better my chances of getting a deadline?
what exactly is a plot like to describe as analogy? is it something like a large area of land where there are hidden chunks of gold somewhere, and mining is like trying to find that gold? if that is the case, how can a bigger plot generate better odds/chances, or reduce time in finding it?trying to think of an analogy that i could understand to get my head around the concepts :)
thanks

How to know when mining is completeposted in Mining & Plotting
Hi
I am extremely new to all this and trying to get my head round everything, I think i have done this right so far but not sure
I have 3 plots on my disks, i have 2 on my D drive which is SSD, a 4GB to start my testing, a 10GB and on my HDD I have 294GB. So far I am just trying to test things to see if this is worth while.
When i started the mining process (i'm part of the burst ninja pool) it asked me to select my D or G plots, i selected D but i dont know if the mining is doing all plots or just my D drive plots (the image i uploaded seems to show it's doing both, is this right?)also, i havent had any deadlines at the bottom of the screen - how do i get deadlines or why aren't they showing, i have read i need deadlines to do this properly....
Also, when will i know that my mining is complete, do i get a message on screen or something?
finally, if have a plot of say 294GB, does this mean that when all the blocks are processed my plot needs to be wiped and re-done, or do i just continue using the same plot forever?many thanks for any advice
Steve
