Hi peeps,
Have any of you tried using portable usb 3 drives? i can get hold of some 2tb ones for just over £40!!!!
I'm using usb3 sata bridges at the moment and they're working but being powered by mains not sure how usb powered
drives would affect mining. any thoughts? might just grab one tomorrow and find out.
worst case scenario spare drive I suppose.

edit:
also being portable drives I'm presuming they're 5400's anyone tried using 5400's?

As long as they are USB 3 your good to go. The dev talked about this too.

It will take you a LONG time to write the plots so get them as soon as you can if you are going to. I would build plots for the pool rather than for solo mining too.

thanks

roughly 1.2tb already plotted but i only had 2 spare 1tb drives reaching the limit. Probably stay solo for now tbh, 15 blocks so far

also have 3 computers i can generate plots with so it doesn't take too long

how can i see the max coin amount at the moment ?

NRS info item in your wallet - Total Balance: 16659996

I asked a question about that earlier, bur didn't get a full answer. The "Total Balance" under NRS info shows just over 16 Million Coins, but according to the Block Rewards we should be sitting with a Total balance of just over 33 Million. Which value is the correct current supply?

Someone this afternoon tolds that maybe the total balance is only about the confirmed coin! It's not possible?!

I think the 'Total Balance' contains only 'Guaranteed Balance' 1440+ confirmations ... so if you add it up 1440*10000+'Total Balance' you are in the same range than BlockCount*10000 ... not sure what happens with coins going to BURST-2222-2222-2222-22222 (added to next block?) ... just my interpretation ...

The confirmed coin part is a leftover effect from the NXT code. The dev already talked about this. Im sure he will get it fixed but its not at the top of his list right now Wink

Its simple guys. There has been 10,000 Burst per block. Just multiply 10,000 by the block height and you have the supply. Currently about 33 million

I don't know Wink

Just count 1440/4= 360
360*10000=3600000 daily generated coins
Math the start day and present day, and wandering...
