The pool seems to be suffering from some stats calculation error in the historic shares section.http://imgur.com/a/H55dA

Don't be naive, sure they may offer 50TB or 36TB or whatever, but if you actually used the full 50TB, they will have someone check what you are using it for, and if it's against their ToS, they will shut down your account. There is no free lunch.

how long have you been mining? where's the 100 figure come from?

It's a good idea, how do we handle the "resolving the result" part though? I'm not sure how augur handles it.

newegg ebay had a $179 8TB seagate external drives, brand new! about a month ago, I grabbed 2. You can just take the drive out of the enclosure if you want to install it as internal. So watch ebay closely, they will often repeat these deals.

@KeenHero Yes I started burst mining at .eu, but also found it to be unstable, sometime it's down for over a day, now I have switched to other pools.

I don't really understand your complaint, wouldn't you want big miners to come to the pool you are mining at? so your pool's variance is reduced and you achieve more consistency. Your chance of mining a block is the same regardless of who is also mining at your pool, all that matters is your own HDD capacity.

yeah MSFT really fucked up with the forced auto restarts as default (this also exists in windows 8), I mean what did the developer think? I'll just go ahead and restart the user's computer, without their confirmation, and have them lose everything they are running and not saved yet.

Needs a trollbox, and also I'd like a history of my own stats, like my deadline for all past rounds, and any blocks I found.

@RichBC said in Is it possible to PAUSE while plotting?:

If you use wplotgenerator you can just stop plotting and then restart later and it will continue from where it left off.

Rich

By stop plotting do you mean actually close "wplotgenerator", or just disconnect hard drive but let "wplotgenerator" keep running?

Say I'm plotting on a laptop, I'm 50% complete, but need to disconnect the laptop to do something else. Is there a way to PAUSE and come back and continuing plotting from 50%? Can I just disconnect the external hard drive, and keep the plotting program open?

@haitch said in Two hard drive with same account, do I have to change nonce when plot?:

@kokojie It sounds like you're using the Windows All In One Plotter/Miner/Wallet - it will automatically make sure the nonces don't overlap on the two drives.

Got it, thank you

I have two 5TB hard drive, both are on the same PC, will mine with same account. I just finished plotting the 1st drive, now I read somewhere that I need to change the starting nonce for additional plots? I'm using the Burst Wallet's plot function. My question are:

1. is the burst wallet plot function smart enough to auto change the starting nonce for me?

2. if not, how do I check the nonce of the 1st plot?

3. how do I set the starting nonce of the 2nd plot?

@Hotdogler said in Difference in mining speed on 2 computers:

This is how fast your miner is reading the plots you set up on your HDD. Most important thing here is how quickly your plot is read. Both of yours (3.5 and 7.4 seconds) are plenty fast. As long as the miner is reading your plot in a shorter amount of time than the average block deadline you are good. Most seem to fall within 1 to 3 minutes.

I just added a 5TB drive, now it takes over a minute to read all the plots. Does this affect my performance? I seem to still find deadline while the drive is read on every new block. I don't get it, does the plot need to be re-read every new block? why am I still finding deadlines while the plot is re-read.

@jervis how to change a letter to uppercase in wallet?

1. when I register an alias for example "koko", but I want to change it to first letter uppercase eg. "Koko". Is it possible to change this after I registered?

2. what's register URL function do? any documentation I could read?

How long does it take, I've been trying to download it for 20 minutes. Also how about an explanation with a ETA, instead of 404 when user click on it?

https://db.burst-team.us/db.zip I'm getting 404

I am mining with 2 computers, both 500GB plots. But I'm seeing a bit different mining stats:

Computer 1: i7-5500U CPU, 16GB RAM
Thread "C:\Burst\plots" @ 3.5 sec (35.3 MB/s) CPU 45.02%

Computer 2: i3-4130T CPU, 8GB RAM
Thread "C:\Burst\plots" @ 7.4 sec (16.9 MB/s) CPU 20.30%

As you can see, Computer 1 with better CPU and ram have seemingly better mining speed with the same amount of storage? I'm not sure what these mean though "35.3MB/s" and "CPU 45.02%"
