Hey guys -
So I have it generating plots now on both 4TB drives but it is taking forever! Both drives are at 60GB~ after 3 hours
It's gonna take over 5 days to fill 8TB at this stage.
Is there ANY way at all that I can get this to speed up? I am running a i5 3570k @ 4.6 GHZ with 8GB of DDR3-1866.
Some other questions:
- Will it slow down the generation if I set it to mine at the same time on both drives? Or is that the best and most profitable thing to do?
- If I stop the generation; can I just start it back up again later or do I have to change code in places?
- If I generate a 200GB plot for a start just to test, can I then go on to make another larger plot? i.e. can I have many of these plot files in the plot folder and they wll all be used by the miner - as opposed to having to use one massive 3.6 TB file?
- Lastly, Is there any way to get the job done with the GPU? I have a HD 7990 just sitting there and would love to get it working!
Side note: Is there are guide for running Linux on Windows and generating blocks using the faster Linux software? And if so, can i continue to use the generated file I have in my plots folder or must I start again?
Thanks so much!
