What do you want to have said?

only amateurs thought price of 800+ satoshi would hold.. it was so obviously going to crash.. If you need some random twitter dude to tell you that then maybe this isn't your game.

Are you one of those "cut supply in half and reduce reward by 90% so I can sell off this coin and profit" ?

Also funny how they're talking about parasitic coins winning, I HIGHLY doubt that CLD will overtake burst. No way.

Who would want to listen someone that plays devil's advocate? Negative people like you need help, there's enough negativity in this world. Go find something positive to do with your time.

what if i generate plots with 256k stagger size. is there any side effect for cpu or ram?

WTF???
should find the block but BURST-M78H-JUVQ-VKJG-3H3HL stole it?

and why after 15380 miner (dcct linux) again tried to search previous block?

Hey, my "Gaming/Working"-PC runs 24/7 with a single 6TB HDD and this uses a lot of engergy.
Does someone use a Raspberry pi, i have a B+ laying around, but it´s my first rasp i ever had.

Not shure on wich image it would run, is it possible?

Yes, it'll work, only needs java....although it'll take ages to read plots....i don't think it'll even manage to read all of them....and it's usb 2 ....so true answer is no, not with 6tb. You need more RAM and usb3 or eSata

Ah okay, so maybe i untervolt my homepc a little bit.

In real life I am managing a petabyte-sized renderfarm, and storage alone at this scale is not easy.

According to your experience , what would be the typical life span of a HDD mining burst (for example , WD green 3 TB) ? And if it's less than a year , would a HDD that mine burst be able to RMA ?

If you treat your drive correctly it should last years. Vibration, dust, vibration, steep temperature vectors and vibration are the enemies here.
With such a low duty cycle (6%, see post above) there is no reason for early failure.

It may be worthwhile to invest the 10-20% WD charges for their "Red" series, as these come with a 3 year warranty (in my country, YMMV).
I've never had any RMA denied upon "excessive usage" for SATA disks.

This link has been posted before, recommended reading - as Backblaze is implementing consumer technology at data center scale, and learns a lot along the way (albeit they don't employ a person fit in statistics):
http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/6028/dispelling-backblaze-s-hdd-reliability-myth-the-real-story-covered/index3.html

the backblaze cases are based on rocketraid cards.
a case to attach 45 disks starts with backplanes and controller without mainboard at about 3500$.
to run these 45 drives you also have to add some quite fast cpu and ram. my estimate is at least 5000-6000$ for 45 drives without the hdds...
this makes something about 130 $ only to be able to attach the drives.
http://www.45drives.com/products/order/dw-enclosure.php

i think of putting some of the new supermicro boards with 16 sata ports into a custom made box (not case).
http://www.supermicro.nl/products/motherboard/ATOM/X10/A1SA7-2750F.cfm
the form factor is proprietary and i am not sure which connectors to the case i require.
I have'nt checked further details so far but the board + ram + case and powersupply may end up at $800-1000$ for 16 hdds which is less than half of the backblaze system.
also the intel atom core should be able to operate all 16 hdds on its own.
all together the hardware costs for a tb ends up somewhere around 75$.

then why use 4096???
plot files messed up
must use:

2048 for 2gb gpus
3072 for 3gb gpus
4096 for 4gb gpus

Well, I had no idea the staggersize was meant in MB's, but thanks. But why would is start with 4096? It doesn't start with anything higher.

Check your miningrigrentals messages.

Edit: with 1024 it's still uses 582 MB VRAM.

Why we need cryptsy?

Instead of DOGE cryptsy is dead in my opinion.
Which new coin has big volume on this exchange? I think no one unfortunately.

whats wrong with getting to more exchange ? U mean more exchange will increase coin supply or block reward ?

People who want to sell will eventually sell. Getting to more exchange just speed up the process

Thank you for the insight.

Another question.

Would stagger size greatly reduce the life span ?

For example, a 2000 stagger VS a 8000 stagger. Both using same HDD. How long will 2000 stagger last VS 8000 stagger on average.

I plotted with the gpu plotter, using 100GB plots:

gpuplotgenerator.exe generate 0 0 "x:\plots" xxx 2457601 409600 4096 64 2048
gpuplotgenerator.exe generate 0 0 "x:\plots" xxx 2867201 409600 4096 64 2048
gpuplotgenerator.exe generate 0 0 "x:\plots" xxx 3276801 409600 4096 64 2048
gpuplotgenerator.exe generate 0 0 "x:\plots" xxx 3686401 409600 4096 64 2048

But with burst-miner I get different nonce amounts:

plot read done. xxx_2457601_409600_4096 299008 nonces
plot read done. xxx_2867201_409600_4096 327680 nonces
plot read done. xxx_3276801_409600_4096 348160 nonces
plot read done. xxx_3686401_409600_4096 319488 nonces

What am I missing here?

bug in miner?

you gpu got 4gb of ram? Huh

3GB (GTX 780 Ti), but the plotter only uses 2118 MB.

then why use 4096???
plot files messed up
must use:

2048 for 2gb gpus
3072 for 3gb gpus
4096 for 4gb gpus
