Doesn't really matter, but I would start with the fastest drive.
But remember, you need twice the space of the file you optimize, as it will be written a new file (Think it's the same under windows)
So start with the USB2 drives and in the miner order aswell from fastest to slowest drive
I wouldn't split it into different instances when you are pool mining, as you might get penalties for submitting lower deadlines as another miner already submitted

Is it possibile, having enoght free space, run optimization on multiple files at The same time ?
Is this Process CPU estensive usage like plotting files ?

Thanks

Yeah, heavy cpu to optimize as well.

Dunno how the windows optimizer works, but I personally would plot one file/disk at a time, especially as it are external ones.
You can try it with several files/disk and see how it works out.
And for the file on the NAS, this is what I would do, optimize it on a local disk.
Even when you have Gigabit, the Bottleneck will be the SAMBA Server on the NAS.
You could have a look in mounting the shares via NFS, NFS is mostly faster as a CIFS share with large files.

I guess so.
Optimize the plot files, then the miner should read in the plots quicker.

Is it better start to optimize the bigger plot files or doesn't matter ?

I use 2 USB 2.0 3tb disks , 2 usb 2.0 1tb disks and different share in Nas using Gigabit ethernet connection, can be a ploblem this too ?

Splitting The disk in different PC and starting The Miners in parallels in The same pool can help ?
Thanks

I have check the overlap and the result are :

Your results (assuming all plots are completed):
Plots 103739847626845317_15811765_500000_4000 and 103739847626845317_16309766_392000_4000 overlap (1999 nonces)
Plots 103739847626845317_21118859_1000000_4000 and 103739847626845317_22118856_1000000_4000 overlap (3 nonces)

Totals:
2002 nonces overlap (500 MB)
40357724 nonces total (9852 GB)
9414 disk seeks per Scoop (75.3 seconds @ 8ms)

So I have just 500MB in overlap with a total of 10TB available but I get just 3k and average and some days 4k, it depends from the pool ?

Thanks

Does your Miner read in all Plots before a new block is found?
According to the calculator you should get ~5K/day with 9.5TB

Not always ! It take 3-4 minute to read all plots, could be this The problem ?

9 * 3TB HDDs can mine about 12k ,game over? Angry

Same here. 12tb, difficulty is not so high but  daily revenew is going down day by day.
Any idea to explain that?

Thank you.

I have 11Tb and my daily income is between 3k and 4k .....why so bad ?

can anyone help me ?

Uhm guys you all should check for plot overlapping here.

I have 4.5 TB (effective) and mine an average of 2.3k

I made comments on this article. I wish the person writing it would have done more research and talked to more people... he makes the coin sound bad IMO. A crap article.

That article is one of the most misinformed I've ever read!
Explanations of the author in comments are even worse...

The hugest crap was the one about losing data or "hard drive config files" on the harddisk with "bad plotting". That doesn't make any sense, first of all because that "conf" files are saved in a reserved area with no access, not even read-only access in many cases! Plotting doesn't overwrite anything unless you actually delete it with you own hands. It overrides "unlinked" clusters, meaning that it "hardwipes" clusters of data in which there is data that was previously deleted (like many other tools do, e.g. CCleaner) so if you made a mistake in deleting them you cannot recover them anymore once plotted, but that's all -.-

And all that crap about Java too, lol... What "Java knowledge" do someone really need to Install Java (which w.h.p. is already installed on your system) click on a .bat file to start the client and open a webpage? This is (stupid and unfortunately that method doesn't exist) Java knowledge:

public void main(){
System.Internet.delete("Crappy Burst article");
System.gc(); //Just to be sure the garbage collector wipes memory too
System.exit(0);
}


And I didn't have to write anything like this to be able to run the client.

Someone had to do a couple of homeworks before calling himself a journalist.

With other pools having issues, now is the perfect time to try out our new failover setup! http://burst.ga provides full failover for any reason, there are 8 monitor IPs that will constantly check the status of the pool, when any sort of non-response is returned, it will switch automatically over to the redundant backup pool! This means our pool is NEVER DOWN!!


Also, I'm doing another giveaway, until we get a sufficient number of people/power...

This time, I'm doing a giveaway based on mining power!

I will give you  1 burst per GB you have plotted!  That means if you bring 50 TB to our pool, I will give you 50k! I'm not sure how much power I'm looking to get right now, but I have no problem with spending 100k+.

What I need from you as proof, is a picture from your wallet showing your Numeric account ID, then screen shots of your plots, selected, showing size and your numeric account ID, then once your stats show on the pool, I will give you 50%. After your stats stay on the pool for 7 days, you will get the other 50%. I'm trying to get long-term miners here, not people who are just trying to take advantage of me giving away burst.

Also, I will donate the pool account 50k burst to be paid out to everyone mining, when the pool hits 100 miners again.

Thanks, and let's get our pool back into the top 3!!


We have another idea for more assets too, and Hardinvest, our first asset will be paying out soon, and will also be available for purchase again very soon!

So hit me up with those screen shots, and I'll hook you up with both a nice, redundant pool, and a bonus amount of burst!



also, FYI, if you don't have a miner that automatically checks for IP address changes, I would suggest setting up a restart script for your miners, so that in the case of a pool failure, the auto-failover will activate, your miner will restart, and you'll be good without ever having to touch anything. I can help people setup Windows Restart batch files, but I can't help linux users. Not quite affluent enough with that yet.

Thank you!

How many slots available for this giveaway at this time?
Thanks.

Thank you!

Nice offer and awesome dedication from you!  Smiley

If I join, how would you like the "proof"...? I got +30tb running now and I'm still plotting; will hopefully have close to 50tb ready this weekend. That's on a few different rigs and a hell of a lot of drives - and possibly screenshots of plots.

Any idea how to simplify to verification in such a case?





well, I just need screenshots of your plot files, and properties on them showing the size, make sure I can read the numerical burst ID, then go to your wallet, and click so I can see your regular and numerical ID together. That will verify your ID. Then once I see your BURST name in the stats, I will send half of your payment, once you've been there for 7 days, I will check again, and then send the other half.

Thanks!

Yes, I am very dedicated to this, burst, the pool, etc. That will continue to show through my effort and new things added all the time.


Thanks, how do I send the screenshots to you? And will the offer still stand on, say, Sunday?

IF ANYONE IS HAVING ISSUES WITH SENDING SCREENSHOTS TO ME... you can do the following...

1. get a photobucket or something like that account, and post the screenshots in a PM on the forums to me.

2. Add me on skype

    crowetic - home
    jason.metamation - work


Thanks!

and yes, the offer goes until I decide we have a sufficient number of miners and power on the pool Smiley so I think it will be going until we have at least 150-200 miners, and/or sufficient hard disk space mining for us.



Also, we have our hardinvest asset that will have more available soon, and we are currently working on multiple new assets to give more profitability to the people mining on our pool! Thanks!

Hello I send you a PM with my screenshoots but i did't get any answer, did you receive it ?

Thanks

It's quite long and full of details for a news article. This guy is not into burst for 2 months entirely Wink  Also he didn't write an advertisment. I hope Burst gets more article and more attention like this.

Actually he points out that we NEED a plotter and miner for the masses - and he's right with that. Is there some developement going on?


Too bad it has a bunch of embarrassing errors, that really should be corrected.

Ill put sume more plots to the pool , and will send you info. Im watching your work, nice to be rewarded Smiley


awesome, send me proof of your power when you can. I will provide the rewards Wink

I will likely be gone this weekend, so If I don't get a hold of you right away, don't worry, I will be back!
Take your time , Ill write you Smiley
