Faster the network connection the larger that your plots can be in general, also GPU mining is better for larger plots. If your plot is not fully read and a dl sent before the block gets solved you lose out. Error prone PC's and drives can be plotted with many smaller plots.

Nothing against a particular PC, we had one in an office that had major electrical glitches and that meant PC's on and off left and right. Also, program and use xplotter with a batch file and any interrupted plotting can be restarted without error, most of the time.

Should I or should I not? Raid 0 hgst 2 x 3TB burstcoin mining?

I have already HGST Ultrastar A7K3000 HUA723030ALA640 3 TB, and another on the way.

Should I raid 0 64 strip these two.

The work that is gonna be done on these is called burstcoin mining.

Read/writes will be faster.

I do have few things to factor in.

I have a vantec sata3 raid card that will be running the raid.

I do have an omnivs1000 power backup.

https://www.tripplite.com/omnivs-120v-1000va-500w-line-interactive-ups-tower-usb-port~OMNIVS1000/

So if powerloss happens raid wont be lost. Also another factor, data isnt important for this raid 0 setup.

What do you guys think?

For BURST mining RAID0 is waste of space. Any HDD is fast enough for mining. Most of USB sticks and memory cards are fast enough for this...
Just plot both drives and enjoy

Yea I got a response from team-burst.us
Individual drives will be faster than Raid 0 as the miners are multithreaded and can read both drives simultaneously.

Also think about the overall plan and layout for your rig. If you are going to mine and plot simultaneously, moving files within the same drive is ten times faster than drive to drive. You can plot one subdirectory and mine another, then move the files once done.

How long is Burst still mineable?

Available/Total Supply
1.79 Billion / 2.16 Billion

Thanks

Estimate is until around 2024 (or maybe a bit longer)... after there will still be mining as the rewards with be the network fees.

Network quality is at 0%... been like that for a day or so.
Not really 100% sure what that means or how to fix it, as it was usually at 70-100% before today..

That is how your miner is connecting to the network

is it possible to continue plotting once i stopped plotting for now? plotting takes a long time, i wonder if it is possible so my computer can take a rest after some time and continue plotting. thank you for your answers

Unless you have issues with overheating or some such...why would you need to let your computer "take a rest"? I promise you, it doesn't get tired of working and no one is checking to make sure it got lunch break lol. Cheesy

But yes, if you're using Xplotter to plot with (cpu plotter), you can close the program and resume plotting as long as you know what the last nonce it created.

if you close the program properly and it was started properly, then you can resume the program with the same parameters as the last time and there will be a bookmark block in the last plot so that it can take up where it left off. Bad shutdowns and restarts and such may make this not work right

You can simply calculate the nonces you want to plot and after they are done pause a while. Then continue with the next nonce onwards.

Hi all, how does one join a Faucet to start mining with my hard Drives ?

there is no link on the site to click join ?

Ton of info at burst-team.us or burstnation.com.

Is someone so nice and send me 1-5 Burst to BURST-KGS8-QUGT-7R55-8GVGN iwant to start mining and the Fauclets do not work if u want i pay 2xback as soon as i mined them

The GPU is more used for plotting. That is where the heavy lifting is done with Burstcoin. The mining is simply reading the data, rather than the initial calculation. I am stating it wrong, but imagine the plotting as the computer figuring out all the possible answers to all the possible test questions and storing all those answers on the hard drive, that is some major math work.
