@ProSportsPhotog Plotting is the slowest part of the process because requires a shit ton of computation but you only have to do it one time and that's it... 4k nonces will get you around 10-15Tb plotted by week... It's not that bad... I would start plotting with the CPU while you don't know how to plot with the GPU... GPU plotting require a lot of tweeking to achieve the maximum of your GPU because you will have to try a lot of setups until you get the right one for your machine!
Multiple plots can be held in the same drive so it will not require more drive letters until you fill the hdd!
Yet again 4k is unacceptable.

4k is better than zero, just sayin :)
-
@rds As is 50k to 4k... this is your opinion. =)
-
@rds exactly my point LOL
@ProSportsPhotog I can't help you with GPU plotting like i said before so you will need someone else that can help you with that ;D
-
@gpedro I'm aware =)

@ProSportsPhotog with my laptop (i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.6GHz and 32 GB of RAM) I am able to get around 10.5k nonces/min. And I see your CPU is better than mine :)
-
@vExact still to low.. I was getting 11k on the CPU. Again if I am capable of getting 50k I want 50k.. I don't settle for second if another is achievable. And I hear you on getting 11k, that is pretty fast but when I saw 50/70k? That is a number I want to aim for.

I'd do the same. Totally understandable :)

Thank for the understanding! Some common sense.. :) I am just not happy with status quo!
I know it can be done. And two of the best have looked at it. Like @rnahlawi stated, it was probably because the parameters were wrong because i pulled it from my NAS and reformatted with NTFS. I would rather have the capabilities of plotting 6tb in way less than a day then spending 3 if you get my point. Called efficiency... :) Thank god for the help here...

@ProSportsPhotog
Generating nonces is only part of the process. They need to be written to the drives. Maybe I'm wrong but I think writing to the drives isn't going to keep up 60k nonce generation. You should try Xplotter. Get it going and watch a write cycle and how it does keeping up with 10k nonce per minute.

I just hate repetitive annoyances. Personally I prefer to help people help themselves. And looking back I see people getting heaps of coins. The satisfaction of helping a truly worthy crypt o coin and stopping it going to a De centralized system makes me feel snug. I've found the GPU to only improve times marginally for plotting my 4 core FM2+ AMD @3.56ghz sits around 3,900 nonces a minute my gpu does 3,000. I'd like to see a plotter that uses the GPU to assist plotting by say 1,000 nonces per minute that'd boost it without putting up with a non responsive desktop / laptop

@ZapbuzZ I tried to help, i just don't know how to help him because i never had a good GPU to try it, I plot with CPU only until I get a GPU better than what my 4 years hold laptop can offer me...
Maybe @haitch or @luxe can help him...
