Not sure if I'm doing this right :(
-
Why do I have -sn 400000001 and you have -sn 2700000000 on the first line of bat file?
-
@rds For leaving a RIG without mining... I lost like 70$-100$ aproximately...
-
@rds This is an internal HDD... i can't plot via laptop.... or can I?
-
@TellezMiotta , if you're losing $100/day then you need to buy the $179 laptop.
You can start your nonces with any number you want. I number my HDDs, so this file was for plotting drive #27.
-
@rds No no.... i'm loosing 10-15$... if i were losing $100 i would have never consider not mining eth LOL

If you're losing $100/day you can buy a new HDD for the laptop USB 3.0,

Look, you've got limited resources to do both (ETH and Burst) . You need to decide what you want to do.
-
I'm going to try to do what you have recommended me and see if i can plot the hard drive 1 tb at a time using only one thread (that is, one core of my CPU right?) .... if I can do that then maybe i could mine ETH and plot at the same time right?
If I can't... then I will call it a day on burst until I can get my hands on some hardware other than my ETH mining rigs...
-
@TellezMiotta , sounds like a plan. Yes reducing to 1 thread will allow the other cores to be available for ETH. It will take 4 times as long to plot but who cares. As each 1TB file completes it will be able to start mining even before the full drive completes. Good luck.
-
Ok.... here is my AOEMI partition assistant.... i deleted the partitions (i think?) does it look good?
-
This is the read benchmark (I selected short test as you told me)
-
I though i eliminated all the partions on my HDD... yet, i got this message...
-
@TellezMiotta Hmm i would advise you to format your drive via Windows instead of with that program... It should write everything over...
Regarding plotting and mining ETH at the same time you should be able if you left just one CPU core free, because it is needed to control the GPUs, otherwise you will not be able to make it... ;D
-
@TellezMiotta, uncheck "short stroke" for the read/write benchmark tests. You only tested 40GB with that checked.
For the write test warning, just select "run write test" and select ok,
4th tab over on HD tune is "error check", select quick scan and you're done.
Regardless of what @gpedro said, I format all my drives with "that" program. You will select quick format or be there all day waiting for it to "write over everything". Label your drive and format. Then right click the drive and select advanced and assign a drive letter.
Then the win explorer will recognize the drive. reformat to NTSF with 64k cluster. The reason for the 64k cluster is the plot files never use any data smaller than that so less chunks is faster.
You can also use AOMEI to reformat to 64k clusters by selecting the formatted drive and format, it will give you the option for the lager clusters, but I like to see the win system do the final format.

@TellezMiotta What the size of the drive in bytes, and the filename of the plotfile ?
-
@rds I was not undermining the program at all...

He has a 5TB and was plotting 19075526 nonces, which is 5TB. Plus he was half plotted and then ran into the write error.

I don't understand what you mean by this????Oh. I get it, I know you weren't, it was @gpedro, no problems :)
-
@rds I need to see the exact in bytes and the plotfile name - I suspect it's trying to plot beyond the end of the drive.

Look at the beginning of the thread, it looked ok to me, 19075526 * 262144 bytes/nonce is 5E12 bytes. The 5TB drive is a little more than that. He started the file with the -n0 parameter to get the # of nonces.
-
@rds I cant select that check box.... for some reason... don't know why :S .... I'm doing something on AOEMI but im not even sure it quite correct... Here's an SS
