I'm simply saying they could lower the processor requirements by utilizing iGPUs everyone has (if someone is skilled with writing in OCL). I'm not sure if anything is parallizeable in the miner, I assume there is. If the memory problems are only in W7, all the better because there is already a solution. However, processing large plots still requires a decently beefy CPU.

There is not much to hate as a miner. Lower requirements for mining are better, aren't they?

I simply tried to explan that neither having a beefy CPU nor lots of ram is requried. It's Win 7's memory handling that is the problem. If I'm able to mine with 100tb on regular desktop machines, even with the tricky Win 7, I really can't see the problem.

What's your setup and how many tb do you have?

Most computers come with a iGPU, I'm sure it could be used to augment the CPU for the mining phase. Only requirement should be storage, not high end CPUs and lots of memory.

Afiak it is only win 7 which require lots of ram; I've now more than 1 month uptime on two win 7 boxes with 30tb and 20tb, respectively, with 16gb i ram. CPUs are an I3 and an I5 (not OC). So with some tweaking it's possible to get stability even with win 7. For tweaking tips, see https://burstforum.com. Especially a program call EmptyStandbyList is important.

For lowering reading times, it's vital to use huge or optimized staggers. Most often large staggers require a lot of ram, but there two ways around this: either you use cryo's gpuplotter and mode "direct", utilizing little ram, or you create a plot with a low stagger where you in the next stage use tool for optimizing the, see https://burstforum.com for both programs.

With huge or optimized staggers the CPU will process the plots much faster. For awhile I used an old duo core CPU without problem.

The above concern only win 7. All other OS preform much better; eg, on one of my linux boxes i have +30tb running for month with 3gb in ram.

So, when you say "Only requirement should be storage, not high end CPUs and lots of memory" it's simply wrong.

considering the amount of hardware you need in order to hit it (16GB of memory, i5) with large capacities

Isn't that good ?

It seems as though deadlines are kinda turning into a thing, considering the amount of hardware you need in order to hit it (16GB of memory, i5) with large capacities, is anyone working on a GPU assisted miner? Onboard graphics cards could help with the computational side of things. I'm starting to think my low end new processors I had in my mining rigs wont be able to handle this.

Hi Blago,
when I see you here, I'd like to ask you if it is possible to set some priority on your miner in W7.
I just tried set priority in task manager, but it didn't help much.
When reading plots its taking just 12% CPU, so 3,3TB takes 39seconds.
I'd like to add more HDDs but, it will take too long then.
In Ubuntu (dcct miner) when I set priority it's taking whole CPU and then it release.
W7 8GB RAM.

Did you merge the plots?
And defrag HDD.

My i5, 8Gb (~95% load)

My AMD FX-6300, 16Gb (~90% load)

see speed tests for random (not merged plots) and sequential (merged plots) transfer http://www.storagereview.com/seagate_barracuda_3tb_review_1tb_platters_st3000dm001

Thanks Blago, I did not see your post when I made mine.

I wish I could make that magnet link clickable like a normal link, but the url code seems to break the magnet. So right now you have to copy past that link into your Torrent client.

are there plans for burst devs to make block times shorter?

edit: i like what i'm seeing in POC and people will be convinced if block times are only a couple of seconds long. i was wondering if this is possible in POC going forward.

i am actually thinking about instant confirmation regardless of block time. Is that possible ? Burst should lead other coin in terms of innovation. Cutting down block time doesn't seems exciting at all.

imo, with POC, this project and its devs are on to something here. but what would really help is making transaction times faster, yes. but without sacrificing any risk in security. i was wondering if it was possible moving forward.

also, i noticed other projects seem to add more 'features', when what they should be really doing is go back to something basic like make transactions faster. people seem to underestimate the power of speed of transactions in crypto.

it would be fine, because right now, there was 2x24min blocks

should easily see 1000 satoshi as the baseline.. network capacity has reached 18 peta bytes, since value of BTC is low could be some cloud storage purchases were made via it in the anticipation for the future, maybe

spoke to supernet dev community you really should talk to one another and consolidate thru higher order constructs

btw I said a week ago that you will breach 200 sat , I am rarely wrong, also if so called "whales" are present they will find low volume of BURST available as very few will be selling.. where no ASIC device is available and BTC price is so low.. coin is now VERY expensive to mine VERY
