New Miner Questions



  • @Caligiuri I think maybe I am not asking the right question, or maybe I am and you answered it and I just don't fully grasp the concept yet.

    I have 4 empty drives
    1 2tb
    3 1tb

    I'm running the plotting right now on just the 2tb drive (which will take forever as it looks). My question is more along the lines of once this drive finishes plotting, can I start plotting a 1tb drive. I assume that I'll be able to mine with all 4 of the drives once they are plotted. Does the Windows GUI automatically recognize I've plotted one drive when I begin to plot the next drive so it will set the nonces at the next number, or will I have to configure this somewhere else?

    Sorry if I'm asking the same question over and over, just trying to grasp how this part works. :)

    @DougLife The AIO plots the drive based on the drive letter - as long as you don't adjust drive letters there will be no overlap. Once the first drive is plotted, you can plot and mine simultaneously.



  • @haitch thank you. I think that answers the question!



  • I have another question before I finally jump into starting mining tonight. I've read that plot optimization is going to be key. Is this all handled in the AIO when it is plotted or do I need to take further action on this?

    @DougLife The latest version of the AIO uses the xplotter plotter, which creates optimized plots.



  • So I've been mining this evening and I have some questions about the pool.

    1.) More of a general question, but what exactly do the deadlines represent. What is 1 hour or 13 days in reference to.

    2.) I'm watching some of the blocks and it will say that I've earned ~Reward of 10. In the historic shares though the ~Reward change is very minimal and doesn't match what I'm seeing happen in the current shares? After a night of mining it says a ~Reward or .48? Is that actually a percent of the entire pool?

    3.) Lastly, the "Total Earned" column in historic block share area for me says 18D + 0. What does this represent? I thought I read somewhere that it was total coins I've actually earned? If that is the case what does the +0 at the end relate to?

    @DougLife

    Deadlines are when you would win this block if there were no other miners,

    the left side is what you'll earn if we win THIS Block

    The right side is what you'll win WHEN we win a block,



  • I think I'm following. So what does "18D + 0" actually represent?


  • admin

    @DougLife you've earned 18 Burst, but they've not paid out yet, and lifetime you've earned 0 Burst



  • Alright, thanks :)

    Last question, for today at least :-P, but I'm starting to look into assets as well. Every time I enter an asset ID into the GUI it tells me it is incorrect. Can't be true for all assets can it?
