With that much space you should solo mine 168tb will make about 1500$ a month so before you get too far plotting you may wish to drop them out of raid the 2tb drives will take about 4 hours each the 4tb at 14k will take 17 hours each if the drives are mapped over smb you should be able to plot on your gaming rig...not sure how well that will work though...I fired up a backup server that I normally leave powered down. It contains a 60 x 2TB RAID 60 volume and a 12 x 4TB RAID 6 volume. Figured those would be pretty good for giving burst a go.
Raid controller is an Areca 1882 and the mobo a SuperMicro X10SRL-F with a Xeon E52630L V3 CPU and 2 x 16GB sticks of Samsung DDR4 ECC.
I'm plotting the 12x4TB volume now at a rate of about 12k nonces/min. Looks like this is going to take a while. I bet the 60 x 2TB volume is going to be real drag...
I do have a pair of 980Ti's in my gaming rig, but unless I can plot across my LAN (I do have a 10G network), I don't see that working.
My guess is I'm looking at about a month to plot these drives using the Xeon?
Also, it would be awesome if someone could slip me a few coins. The facets seems to have all run dry.
Just sent you 5. I owed it forward from Lunas
2 other pieces of advice i dont know why but the burst forums recommend formatting at a 64k cluster size i surmise it has to do with read speeds and they must be ntfs
Xeon E52630L V3
i would think vram would help for gpu but in both cases the plotter plots the math to the ram then writes to the drive so in theory if you had a 4tb disk to plot and you had 4tb of ram it would go faster and be plotted optimized. but generally i have not seen a difference going from 8 to 24 except my system now seems faster...
yep if a drive fails after rebuilding the array you would just replot that one... same if you have say 20 drives if one fails the rest will continue mining and you can just replot with the same starting nounce and as long as it doesn't extend into another range example drive 1 has 1-10000 drive two has 10001-20000 if drive 1 goes down and you replot it and for some reason it goes to 10002 there will be an issue. but realistically you could use 42000000000000000000000000000000000000 as your starting number and do this for each array 42100000000000000000000000000000000000 42200000000000000000000000000000000000, 42300000000000000000000000000000000000 and keep going until you hit 429 then do 42110000000000000000000000000000000000
Yep looks good also the setting for ram is -mem 32g with that set it should use all free ram
you can or you can do a pool if you do a pool you will get coins while it grows vs only getting coins when you hit blocks
You can always plot then move the file to the network drive...I shared the next volume and get the exact same error:
Just for grins, I tried kicking it off from a non admin command prompt and then it started off fine:
But as soon as xplotter started writing out the scoops, it does so extremely slowly:
I have a 10G link between the servers so it should be flying writing the scoops to the 4x2TB RAID0 array. Here's me copying a 65GB file to the other mapped network drive:
I guess xplotter just does not like dealing with mapped network drives between windows boxes?
yes that is correct...
