So still thinking about getting into poc, but I'm still rather confused by the process even after reading guides.
Does using more then one GPU increase plot speed? Do you only need one to really do it well? What are the CPU requirements? Can you use a onboard GPU for GPU plotting?
After you plot it doesn't use the GPU anymore correct? If you have more then one drive hooked up to the same computer, do you need more then one instance of the program open for each HD? Can you plot on one computer and then transfer the HD to another to have it run? What are the feasible limitations of storage on one computer (can you have a bunch of USB HDs hooked up to hubs and be fine)?
You cannot plot with more than one GPU per plot. You can, however, use two GPUs to plot two plots at once.
Yea, after you plot, you no longer use the gpu for anything, that is until someone codes a faster miner on GPU (something that could maybe alleviate CPU usage, but it's not like other GPU miners, because the power is still in the data (plot files))
You can plot on one pc and move the hdd to another to mine, yes. Just make sure you plot with the same account ID, and DONT OVERLAP NONCES.
You need a good amount of RAM if you're going to mine on a bunch of space on single machine.
Here is a guide I wrote, that is still a work in progress, as I'm going to explain how to use other miners and plotters eventually, but it'll help you get started!
