You mention that the miner will be released 3 hours before launch. Will that be enough time to prepare a 1TB hard drive?

Very interesting concept. Is pool mining theoretically possible or would the network consist of all solo miners?
Since plots are good only for mining to one address, the only way a pool would work under the current protocol would be for a pool to supply addresses to miners, and have them generate plots and mine to those addresses. The pool would be able to gauge approximate disk usage based on how low the average result is. The problem with that though, is miners would have to regenerate plots in order to switch pools, which is a slow process, so miners would be fairly stuck on the pools they chose.One possibility for the future might be to allow an address to declare that their mined coins go to an alternate address. The user could submit their results every block to the pool so it can estimate disk usage, and dish out coins accordingly.

I would delete those hdmovies for this.

Saw you post last night and really liked your new idea! So made you a logo.

I have deleted all bad file for my hdd for have more hashrate, but i can mine only tomorrow, because launch in europe are in the half of night

Any idea on bandwidth used daily per tb ? This looks like a fantastic alternative to the energy waste of pow mining.
Assuming you mean disk bandwith, it reads one 4096th of the data of the drive each block, with a block target of 4 minutes, so 1/4096 of 1TB 360 times per day is about 88GB read per day per TB of storage. August 10, 2014, 09:44:00 AM

Would be hilarious if this caught on and people were buying up all the used servers on ebay.

Very interesting this. Imagine a large drive hooked up to a Raspberry Pi, low power

So for instance would 1Tb be the equivalent of double the speed of 500Gb?
Your HDD space is like your hashrate, so as much as you're willing to use.
Exactly.
Will the miner be able to use USB connected HDD?
USB3 ones are fine, I've tried them on the testnet. I'm guessing USB2 might not have a high enough transfer speed, but I haven't testing one.

Nice idea dev.

looks interesting
I will mine it

Like it very much, but I don't know how to participate?

So instead of wasting energy as with Bitcoin, we are wasting HDD space now?
