Please explain how this is possible...

How is it possible that this miner is consistently hitting deadlines of only a couple hours.... and only has ~1.8TB?

I currently have ~15TB (all optimized & non-overlapping plots), and mine seems to struggle to find deadlines of less than 2 weeks... I'm flabbergasted.

@twig123 the numer 1.TB is not exact, as a miner could have 20 miners each for the same account, each of different capacity. The number listed by the pool is capacity of the individual miner that reported the deadline not the total capacity for the account.

@twig123 either multiple miner (just one of his miners has 1.8 tb) or a looot of luck :)

@twig123 The miner probably has plots on multiple rigs pointing to the same miner account on the same pool. I think the pool only shows the amount of plots on one rig, so the amount of TB does not necessarily show total TB value.

EDIT

lol, triple-reply within the minute. We're effective!

Ah! So, if someone had say 200 computes each with 2TB....that would be 400TB total, but the pool will only show the miner as having 2TB since to is based on the total capacity of the computer that submitted the best deadline for the account? strange, but I guess it makes since.

@twig123 Yes, the pool will only report the the size of one of the miners, which one seems to be pretty random. My 100TB+ account gets reported as anything from 7TB (my smallest) to 50TB (my largest).

Thanks for the replies all, that really helped clear up my confusion =D

I would suspect he got lucky for those blocks. Also the number of miners reporting nonces plays into it
