@haitch Yeah my wife will freak out if I try to run any servers at home. Btw, if you ever have the time to do it can you share your parts list pcpartpicker.com it would be great in-case I get some spare budget.

RE: Pennywise 2 - Work in progress .......posted in Mining & Plotting
Wow very nice setup you got there.. Where are you running this in a colo? I wish I can plug this kind of equipment on our DR site hehe
For my work, I should stop buying EqualLogic and build our own NAS system. 192TB storage vs 40TB for 30k CAD!!! Although, my higher ups are afraid of no 24/7 warranty so it might be a hurdle.

RE: How often do you guys Forge a block?posted in Mining & Plotting
Thanks, you are right it is a multi core server. I think I saw yesterday from the forum the suggestion to do raid0 on each of the drives; not one large raid0. Just need to do 7 more disks, its actually plotting pretty nicely at 10k nonces.
Question: btw on my home rig, I finish plotting 4x4TB on the internal 2U case. Say if I take those 4 drives and put them on a Probox external storage and connect them via eSATA. The only thing I need to worry about is that their drive letters should be the same as when they are internally connected right? Then I can put another set of 4TB internally and plot them then move them again on a second Probox and so on? I notice that if I plot directly to the eSATA its a bit slower.

@vmantilla Around 3.8 TB Only :( It was running 1.6TB in raid-5 so I opted to redo it in RAID-0

How often do you guys Forge a block?posted in Mining & Plotting
Just forge one 60 minutes ago. Got 1k payout, just wondering if this is like a once in a while kind of thing. I always fell down my chair when I saw the payout. I kind of told my wife and she goes HEY FOOL MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION!!! LOL. I hope you guys have a better understanding significant other!
Anyways, finished plotting on a decom'd exchange server E5-2650x2 @ 32 cores but lacking on the disk department only 3.3TB only its all in mini SAS disks :( It was doing 24k nonces while plotting with 31 cores lol
I also had to rebuild another server with a RAID-5 that I plotted. I ended up doing RAID-0 on each of the drives it ended with 16+ drives but they are the older SAS drives on a Dell PowerVault 16 slots, bunch of 300GB and 146GB drives maybe half half. So far it's doing 10k nonces/min.
I'm dreading to do the 8TB drives.. I think even putting that on the 32Core server its probably still going to be slow.

Best way to plotposted in Mining & Plotting
Hey Guys...
I've been plotting few drives. 4 x 4TB two already done. I did plot them all at the same time with 2 vcpu each so thats probably why it took forever to plot them. Painfully slow!!! I think its over 4 days now probably more but it's very close to finishing one is 88% and the other one is 95%.
But now I will be plotting new incoming drives bunch of 8TB seagates and two 5TB seagates. Would you recommend splitting them on different computers plugged via USB 3? I prefer not to break them open for the actual HD since I don't have enough internal slots to plug them in on my other computers.
Also, it seems when I try to minetwo computers at the same time with different Drive letter but the same account only the first or last one I start the mining will show up on the pool history stats! I wonder if I should just split them up on different accounts but I'm not sure how to modify the plotted drive account to migrate to a new one.
Thanks

Thank you all for the input.. I just got my first pay! I'm looking at getting my other computer running now with more disks.

RE: Out of burst cant mineposted in Mining & Plotting
sorry another question.. If I run the miner without setting the reward assignment will I still get paid or I need to set the assignment first before I start mining for that specific pool and then start my miner? Do that for all the computers I wanted to run? And also can I use the one address that I have for different rigs?

Out of burst cant mineposted in Mining & Plotting
Hello All..
New here.. Can I get some burst so I can start mining. I tried doing burst-team.us for my 2TB test. I think I made a mistake confirming to pool.burst-team.us and saw the 4 block error and pick pool.ccminer.net. It's been running for a day with confirms but I don't see anything coming into my address. Does this take this long? I'm also running another one on my home computer for a test 1TB drive but that one I set it to pool.burst-team.us and I dont see any confirmation; just New Block.. and sometimes I get Winner: Get info failed.

Thanks
