I cannot find the specs on that CPU, is this a laptop?

When you say your at 2min for reading a block, does that mean it takes you 2min to scan your plot file?

I compared a AMD A4-4000 to my old Intel E5800 and the specs are sorta similar so I'm guessing your processor is similar to mine.

Everyone keeps saying that hard disk space is all that matters, but this is very misleading.  You also need a CPU that can process the data and a decent hard drive connection interface to get the data from the drive and into the CPU.  The hard-drive connection is more important that the CPU.

What is your stagger size on that 5TB plot?  If 8GB ram I am guessing your stagger is not greater than 10000.  What is your hard-drive connection?  if your reading this through USB 2.0 your max on paper read rate will be 60MB/s but take into account overhead and a low plot stagger and your probably looking at ~30MB/s.

I believe that 256MB/TB of plot size is read during each block (dev post on POC vs POCv2), if this is so then at 30MB/s it would take a USB 2.0 ~43 seconds to read the plot.  If your using windows go to the performance monitor --> Disks and watch the read rate for your drive, you can do the same thing in Linux.  This will give you an idea of were you are.

With the CPU I compared your's to I am able to read ~8TB of plots across 5 drives in about 35 seconds.  This speed will increase once I optimize my larger 3TB plots.

Reading a plot that is optimized will utilize your drives sequential read specifications.  Reading a plot that has a low stagger will utilize your drives random read specifications.  I higher stagger will move closer to optimized levels.  I have not created a graph showing this relationship so I do not know the cut-off point but there is a significant difference between the two ends of the scale.

Download a utility like CrystalDiskMark http://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalDiskMark/index-e.html or HDTune and see what your drive is capable of, especially the sequential read indicator, this will be the max you can read with an optimized plot.  Doing this will help pin point the bottle neck, and I am guessing it is not the CPU but a combination of hard drive connection type and low stagger.

* Edit * I just re-read your post, I missed the 4 x 5TB part.  Sorry.  But still basic benchmark testing to find bottle necks still applies.

Good-Luck

Uray seems to have disappeared, strange it was right after my declining his offer to purchase all of his projects. Hoping he's in good health, and okay.

Sry, Wallet Version 1.1.5 ... fixed it.

Damn, uray is in the future

On a more serious note, I haven't used it and haven't seen uray in a while so it is quite likely that the project is out of date

Wallet Version 1.5.0 ... i wouldn't use that atm, even IF password is safe.

If I recall correctly, that is uray's online wallet project and is ok.

Wait for more confirmations though, just to be on the safe side that I am not misremembering

a few things

-download page on official website doesnt work and has broken images
-twitter page has no logo or link to main website
-readme.txt contains no instructions beyond telling people how to sync clocks so I can't figure out how to get the wallet running; if I try and run the bat file I get an error saying I need Java despite already having it installed.

Personally I wasn't scammed, I'm only very angry, but I really hope those who were victims use the trust system, just as you say.

The site is being redeveloped due to issues described a few pages back.
https://twitter.com/real_BURSTCOIN does infact have a logo

Java is a bit trickier, out of the box you need java7. Burst is reported to work with java8 but you'd need to edit files yourself to change the references from java7 to java8. Also, mac people for example have had to get jdk in some cases, not only jre.

Crowetic's guide has it laid out well https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ytq47AmQZ1rzjoFuMW33c82JkuJ1L61Pdp95ZLbi3-k/edit?usp=sharing


What exactly do you mean? Block reward decreases 5% a month

What about https://wallet.burstcoin.io ?
Is it legit ?
Can it be trusted , is it safe to use ?

you need to add this to the trust system to protect others

I really like this coin but when will the mining deflation slow down?

Hmmm, thanks for the help. I'll throw more memory at it and see what happens later today. The SSD isn't sitting at 100% utilization though or anywhere close to it. It seems like it's all a CPU bottleneck.
