Not sure if I'm doing this right :(
-
@rds if LocalTargetDeadline < PoolTargetDeadline => miner use LocalTargetDeadline
if pool did not set TargetDeadline (or local wallet), then miner set use LocalTargetDeadline

My power went down again.... Restarted the plot again because I only got to 1%... I'd like instructions in case it happens again (it will happen again) How do I start the plot exactly at the point where it left of?

You should run the xplotter from a bat file that looks like this:
c:\burst\XPlotter.v1.0\XPlotter_avx.exe -id 8576079156750775373 -sn 400000001 -n 19075256 -t 4 -path d:\burst\plots -mem 4G
Assuming the xplotter is in the c:\burst folder, otherwise edit the above line to point to the folder your plotter is located.
The 857... number is your wallet id, make sure it is right. I copied it off your screenshot above.
19075256 nonces is a little over 5*10^12 bytes, commonly called 5TB.
-t 4 is for 4 threads. If that overloads your machine lower it to 3 or 2 ro 1. If you have a screaming machine increase up to your max thread capability.
Same for -mem 4G. Adjust as needed so you don't run out of ram.
Smaller ram will not slow the plot time but the more threads you can allocate to the plotter the faster it will generate nonces.
You need to right click the bat file and select "run as administrator".
Now, anytime the power goes out, or if you just want to shut off the plotting, you just restart the bat file (run as administrator) and you will pick up where you left off.
You can run this file on the file you are currently plotting assuming the # of nonces in your current file is the same as the 19075256. If it is different, like 19075255 then adjust the bat file accordingly.

Ok.... I just have one question... that text for the bat file kinda resembles the title that's on the windoes of the prompt where i'm at right now... The thing is that the title of the prompto has -n 0 whereas you have -n 19075256 ... what does that means? And how the bat file ''knows'' where it left of the last time?
Thank you in advance...
-
@TellezMiotta , -n0 means fill the drive. But if you stop and rerun with -n0 it will say no more room. When you ran your -n0 file it created a file the same as if you used -n 19075256. Now that it's created you can't use -n0 because it will try to create a new file. So you need to change your command line to the amount of nonces the -n0 command created.
-
Ok.... just one more thing... i'm plotting the drive via GUI... therefore i wrote no bat file for this one.... when my electricity goes down can i just write the bat that you are telling me and I should be able to start from where it left of ... right? no matter if i started with no bat file (Sorry if im asking very noob questions and thank you for your patience)
-
correct. You will be able to continue with the GUI initiated file using the bat file.
-
Another question.... right now I'm on 20% of the process... If I stop it can I mine with the plot how it is right now and would be be roughly like mining with a 1 TB hard drive... right?
-
possible, but if you want to do that plot 5, 1TB files instead of 1 big 5TB file. Patience, the pain will be over soon :)
-
Ok... If im willing to do this to a considerable scale I would like you to recommend me some hardware that I can use for this purposes a.k.a. A motherboard with lots of USB ports and/or SATA ports.... and a good processor to mine... because it will take literally 10 days to mine with a celeron 2 cores.... what do you recommend me?
thank u! :D you guys are awesome for sharing this info with me!

I use a $350 laptop 22 USB 3.0 external drives. Don't need a powerful computer to mine. Plotting yes, mining no.
-
22 usb 3.0? how do you connect them? don't you have a bottle neck for conecting them on the same humble computer? those are the kind of technical questions that i do not know ...
-
The laptop has 1 USB 3.0 port. 3, Usb 3.0 hubs connect the 22 HDDs. Scan rate is 230 MB/s.
-
How do you achieve 230 MB/s? o.O I was getting 80 MB/s tops when mining with my old plot (using jminer and GPUs) o.O is there something im doing wrong?
btw... just wondering... let's say I have a cloud data storage service hired... Is is possible to write plots on my local computer, save them in this cloud storage and mine using those stored online instead of using my personal storage devices? In that case... could you guide me through that?
-
@TellezMiotta ,not sure why I'm getting 220, always did. I'm using win 10, cpu miner, not a superpowerful computer and USB 3.0.
You can do the cloud mining thing but I think it would take forever to 1) plot and transfer the files, and 2) scan the cloud files with a miner. There are people who use it but I don't think they have any serious capacity in the cloud. You need HDDs close to the miner, that's why it's called POC, proof of capacity.
-
@TellezMiotta 230MB/s over 22 drives = ~11MB/sec per drive.
Yes Cloud mining is possible, but difficult - there are some threads about it.
-
Is this serious guys?
Once i tried to write the .bat file and make it work xplotter keeps crashing ....
-
The .bat file keeps crashing down.... I don't know what else to do :S
-
XPlotter_avx.exe is the problem... it keeps crashing down... don't know why....
-
@TellezMiotta , close the cmd window and restart. You may have a bad connection to the drive.
