Overlapping + Switching to GPU plotting
-
@Burstminer you are plotting 3981568 nonces, just use the nonce calculator in the burst software category and see how much Tb are you plotting...
-
@Burstminer Probably you can do better than this. What type of drive do you have? Internal sata? USB? If so 2.0 or 3.0? RPM? However for speed up the plotter try different values in your device.txt file, particularly 3rd and 4th values (obviously don't touch the first and second ones, the platform and device ID, if you have done the setup correctly they point to your GPU...). The higher the better. Use the readme for figure out what you are tweaking. Don't be shy ;-)
-
@Burstminer You are plotting one file of ~972 GB (3981568 nonces, one nonce is 256 kB)
-
@Burstminer Please, keep us updated :-)

@Dario's-wallet He already made it... we were talking on IRC about an hour ago xD

Hi guys well it's still plotting. It froze for a few minutes which was weird but then it started. ( I hit enter in the CMD window but im not sure that did the trick)
So its still plotting and it has 2 hours to go!
Speed wise I have no clue but I got 12 TB to go! Any recomendations would be great on that.
Thanks

Hi guys,
Should I be using another miner instead of the AIO miner?
Regards,
-
@Burstminer In the AIO miner you have 3 miners: default (CPU), AVX(CPU - a little faster) and Open CL (GPU - faster).
Regarding to the other matter you could check what is the size of your file and if it's around what you plotted and if it is and you want to make sure it's all ok just use the plot checker wich could be found on the Burst Software category...

Hello guys I am very happy to report that I have finished plotting 1TB and restarted my Miner. The plots worked perfectly and I am now mining just under 7TB .
I also added the second number + the third number and started the gpu plotter again. Its currently running again for the same estimated time frame.
So far so good! thank you :)

Hello guys happy to report again that I have finished another 972 plot and again it has worked just fine. This drive has 1.2 TB left so I will create this new 972GB plot and then see what the final plot size would be and change it.
Currently mining with 7.893 TB !
Cheers,

@gpedro and @Dario's-wallet
The second plot finished correctly. I now have 8. 7 TB mining. Since this drive is almost full it only has 360GB left.
I did the math to plot a last smaller plot for 330GB.
After this drive is done ill start with the 5TB External drives.
Will report on this new small plot and and the continuation of the plot in the new hard drive.
Thanks again!

Hi guys! @Dario-s-wallet @gpedro
I finished plotting F:/ which is a 6TB drive. I currently have 9.2 TB online and mining.
I moved on to the External USB 3.0 dive and started plotting 1TB plots again. As mentioned previously I was plotting an internal satadrive at 1TB per every 7 - 8 hours constantly. I just switched the plotting with the same computer and settings to my Seagate USB 3.0 and the same 1TB now says 14 hours!
This is double! Is the because of drive speed or because of the USB 3.0?
Cheers!
-
@Burstminer is because of USB 3.0 , your drive it's connected on a usb 3.0 card?

@Burstminer no problem man
-
Ok 1TB plotted on my external drive ti was my USB 2.0 port!
Great !
Thanks guys :)
