[ANN] SocalsFarm (Mining Asset) 50% Investor Insurance



  • @socal Merry Christmas to you too buddy



  • 10TB has been bought and is on the way, should be here in about a week then I can plot the HDDs and set them to mining



  • @socal Merry Christmas to you too :)



  • Hey all I apologize for not doing the payout today it will be as soon as I can get in touch with haitch



  • The first dividend payment has been sent total of 26,500 BURST split between 55,000+ shares sorry for the slight holiday induced delay and merry christmas everyone, hope you like your dividends



  • Working the math that's slightly under 2 Burst per share so first week dividends are a ~10% return ;) at this rate that's a eleven week ROI, but I also have 10 more TB on the way. So hopefully that will compensate for difficulty increase and reward reduction for the near future.



  • Good payout! Thanks :D



  • Good news everyone!

    I have received the expansion hard drives for the mining asset and I have begun plotting and optimizing, which will take about a week or so since it takes my computer about 18 hours to to plot 2 TB and an equal amount of time to optimize so about 60-72 hours to get each HDD up and mining.

    P.s. yes that was a Futurama reference at the beginning ;)

    Try using @Blago new Xplotter 0.7, it plots and optimize at the same time.

    Maybe it'll shorten the HDD prep time.



  • I'll give it a look later tonight since I'm walking out the door got errands to run lol got any links to that plotter/optimizer and is it windows compatible?





  • Quick update, after I plotted the first HDD and tried to optimize the plots the optimizer crashed and corrupted the plot not to mention something is going on with pool.burst-team.eu and all DLs for the past few hours have not been confirmed sooooooooooo gonna replot the HDD and switch to a different pool for now, if I can get in touch with @haitch today I will do this week's dividend payout

    @socal I've done a restart on .eu and it's looking a lot better now.



  • second week dividends have been sent, Happy New Year everyone ;)



  • OK once I got a little help tweaking my parameters the xplotter isn't too bad, the first HDD of the expansion is now up and running and I am now waiting on the second HDD to be plotimized (plotted/optimized) so the Asset is currently running at 7.7TB organic + another 5TB being plotimized + @haitch's bonus 95TB.

    Once the second block of shares is sold out I will be able to purchase the second 10TB expansion.



  • Also just wanted to note that I am leaving about ~10% on the HDDs unused to prevent HDD lockup, so each HDD actually gets about 4.5 - 4.6TB of plots



  • @socal I am sure this is not necessary, what makes you think they will lockup?

    @socal Not required - some of my drives are 99.99% plotted.



  • @haitch ahh OK when I was browsing through the plotting section I kept seeing it suggested to leave ~10% free so that the HDDs don't bog down too badly


  • admin

    @socal Don't know where the advice came from, but definitely not required. If they were on ZFS volumes okay, but a regular hard disk? Nope - Go all the way.
