Not sure if I'm doing this right :(

Finally i was able to perform the write test... here the results:
-
ok, the drive looks good. Follow the next step. You need to format it, assign a drive letter, and then reformat to 64k cluster (optional but preferred for plot files).

I think i already formated it... (im not sure) I tried to plot it again via .bat file and kep giving me the same error.... I'm plotting via GUI now :S it's the only way that it works aparently.... here's an ss
-
If you already formatted it, how could you not know? Can you see it in windows explorer? Is it assigned a drive letter? Come on??
At 1371 n/min that 1/tb file will take you about 4 days, be patient.
-
@rds Yes.... I can see it on windows and it has a letter assigned to it... do, yes?
-
Ok.... I can wait 4 days as long as I can keep mining ETH....
-
Ok guys... somethings I consider important to share in here (maybe the more experienced guys know it already but anyhow)
-
When trying to plot via .bat it didn't worked because you recommended me to user Xplotter_avx.exe .... My processor is a celeron... according to this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions my processor does not support AVX (I didn't even know what was AVX until now) ... when plotting via GUI I now realized that it was plotting via sse (which I don't know what that stands for either)
-
I already plotted my first 1TB and plotting the 2nd while mining burst and eth at the same time... I have found some DL... like every 5 or 6 rounds (on .eu is that for enough?)
-
-
SSE - Streaming SIMD Extensions - advanced math operations the CPU supports. Much better than what came before, but not as good as AVX.
Every 5-6 rounds is low for .EU, but will increase as you plot more. How much do you have plotted so far ?
-
Im plotting with just 1TB plotted..... meanwhile plotting the 2nd terabyte ....
-
Ok! I have two plots already! So... what should I do? Should I plot a third file (1tb size) or should I optimize the ones that I already have?
Can I keep mining ETH and Burst while optimizing plots as well? :) Thanks in advance! :D
-
@TellezMiotta Yes you can still mine ETH and Burst + optimize plots but the plots you are optimizing will not be used when mining until they are finished and you restart the miner. Keep in mind that if you mine ETH and Burst under the same device (CPU + CPU) or (GPU + GPU) it will significantly reduce your mining speed/hashes. Since the plotter relies on the CPU and so does the miner a little bit, not sure if it will reduce your mining speed. Use your GPU to mine ETH and the CPU to mine Burst.
Also, it's good to have as much space as you can get plotted. More Terabytes = lower deadlines and more deadlines. (Lower deadlines is good. More deadlines is also good.)To tell if the plots are already optimized:
Example
2758679861088131964_319917131_1024444_1024444 <- Optimized
2758679861088131964_319917131_1023744_10101010 <- Not optimized
(These are fake numbers; I changed them up.) (Keep in mind the following to tell if they are optimized: After the second underscore is there you determine if they are optimized or not. If they are already optimized, don't worry about optimizing them. Optimizing them again is just useless.)Edit:
In a nutshell; if the last couple digits after the second underscore are the EXACT same, you are good to go. It's already optimized.
-
So, this ones are optimized already? That means that the Plotter that i'm using created the plots already optimized :D
-
@TellezMiotta Yes, they're both optimized. XPlotter creates optimized plots with no extra steps required.
-
@TellezMiotta yes, it's optimized plots
-
Ok... Have another question... Electric Power went down again... I already have 2 (1TB) plots done and was plotting the third one! Since I realized my CPU does not support AVX, I wrote a .bat accordingly...
This seems to be the results... BUT i was literally at 82% of the third plot and now it seems like starting from zero? :S
-
I have another question!
I have a bat written and save in the startup folder of my rig in case it restarts due to an update on windows or something
How can i write a .bat file to run the Blango miner right after the system has started? (I already know how to do it using Jminer, but i'd like to use the GPU strictly for ETH mining)
