Do you mean the server URL? I have other parameters same with current pool (as you listed) other than the Mode and Server.

Today you can make around 5$ with 1TB per Month. If you have that 1TB lying around doing nothing, you should mine with it and you get 4 or 8 times (depends on your kwh costs) the money back for your pc hardware electricity costs. 5$ per month is no so much would you think, but it depends where you are living. Imagine you work in a very poor country for 20$ per week or so.

With 10TB you make 50$ per month an so on... and the price is climbing.

The space is filled and you can't use it for other things, but if you have free space available just lying around, you are wasting it too.

please also correct the other parameters, they are also relevant for poolV2

What will change for miners if poc2 will appear?

you can also use blago miner with special settings for dev2 pool.


Please do use the path to your plots in the path section.

Have fun.

I did a 1 optimized vs a 1 unoptimized comparison on two different systems and both unoptimized drives were faster. I just did 2x optimized vs 2x unoptimized and the unoptimized pair were still faster. I can imagine the unoptimized drives are even faster with more memory and a higher stagger size.

Watching the reading numbers in resource monitor, the unoptimized drives read faster then the optimized drives as per my screenshot on the last page, which I confirmed on two different systems.

I understand what 'optimizing' is supposed to do (sequential vs random seeks), but it doesn't seem to be doing it, I messed up the optimization somehow, or I'm supposed to tweak Blagos miner somehow to better utilize the optimized plots. If a disk goes from mainly random seeks to sequential transfers, it should be much, much faster, especially on my 5900RPM drives, it's not doing that though. That should be a given regardless the number of disks on the system.

Sequential throughput on these drives is from 80-180MB/s. It's reading the optimized disks at 10MB/s.

Also worth mentioning, these are 5TB drives.


It could very well be that my systems are too slow to properly utilize the optimized drives, however, the unoptimized drives shouldn't be faster. I mean I'm not making this stuff up, I'm reading this out of resource monitor and looking at the mine times on Blagos.

This may have something to do with the unoptimized drives still using a stagger, while the optimized ones no longer use a buffer(stagger?). Is there anyway to force a optimized drive to continue to use a buffer?

I'm now trying the Dev Pool V2 at http://178.62.39.204:8121/. And it can be mine by using pocminer_pool.jar only, right? What if I have plots in 5 harddisks, so must I start 5 pocminer_pool.jar instances in different harddisk? Correct me if I'm wrong?

Thanks~~

7btc buy wall @ 250sat, and several smaller after that. Could we get a new floor?

the burstdev said that in the future that space can be used to create like a huge cloud storage

and seems like this will continue

go go burst!!!   as i always sayd, this is just the beginning!!!

I have read alot and it seems that even the way you use a batch file to create a plot changes from version to version, so solution to past problems won't solve your present problems. I also read that i need alot of space for it to realy make any sense mining, is that true? I have 1TB of free space, but everyone is talking about 4TB, 10+TB some guy even got 18TB, can't compete with that. Btw what is the filled space used up for? Is it senseless mining like most other coins? I know you use less energy, but wouldn't it be better to use it for something?

Something is moving... Great volume too!

Have you read the guides?

Here is a guide on YouTube for Windows, remember that it's six month but it still shows some of the basic steps.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... and I'm going on a month and still running into shit. I've had to delete two rants tonight already before I posted them. Jesus.

PoC2 couldnt' come sooner. Someone should make a GPU assisted miner, but I think all the people that can already purchased super beefy systems so there is no incentive for them to do so. Oh, BTW, you need a super beefy system if you want to mine this coin in any sizeable amount (10TB+).
