Its been 48 hours and still no block.
Im waiting to see if this actually works before getting ahold of several harddrives.
Same here. It is cheaper to buy a bunch of hdd's compared to gpu cards, but results have to be worth it first. I haven't found a block since I started 60 hours ago on a 500gb drive. But I keep seeing people with smaller drives find blocks and/or find block within 6 hours of starting mining on a hdd. Luck or have people found the optimal setting to mine with?
You did start the wallet and the miner - right?
Got all 3 bats working(run,generate and wallet), I am technically inclined and Cisco CCNA certified. I just barely got the plot to finish a couple minutes ago. I did a 400GB plot on the 500gb drive.
My guess is that you should avg at least one block per day, no sure way to tell without knowing the diff though -.-
Solo mining is highly luck base compare to pool mining. Plus, there is no way to know the diff or whatever is like a diff for this coin. So, there is no way to calculate block per day.
Sure, you take your own hashrate (plotsize) and avg the blocks per day, break it down -> avg blocks per day.
Doesn't really work though because the net is in its main growing stage and my hashrate is expending too, i can post some numbers after the weekend though, i'll be done with plot generation tomorrow, running 4700GB
