Alright, I have come up with another question...
I have a system with 3 2TB drives in it. I am currently plotting them all, my question is this... Do I need to run multiple copies of the miner? Or will the one miner see all 3 drives? Right Now I have 3 copies running and it seems to work, but yea, I would like to know if I actually have to do that or not.
Thanks!
You will have to run a miner on each drive...and each will likely need it's own account number. I plotted x2 500 gig HDD's, with the same wallet number, but different plot #'s. I found that the exact same deadlines were being reproduced for both drives. I wonder if the plot generation is done based on the account number, and if that somehow predisposes the plot #'s to be something specific regardless of what drive they are created on?
I have also noticed that I found 2 blocks with my newest drive that was still plotting.and each night I restart my miners and usually find at least 1 block each night (and these are only 250 Gig HDD's, pretty neat, huh?)
I have actually re-plotted several drives with new accounts because I was having a lot of luck with brand new "still-plotting" drives hitting blocks their first night running. I have now settled on my 4 drives which are hitting paydirt regularly (as these seem to have some sort of lucky number combination that keeps coming up).
I also noticed that deadline time has nothing to do with how long you have had the drive or how big it is, My 15 Gig plot hit 2 blocks, and it was spitting out 200K deadlines all day then popped a 211 deadline. LOL
Thank you for the reply, I am going to fix it now. You think you actually need a new account for each drive, why not just different nonce numbers? hmm...
