 I've never gotten that AIO wallet to WORK.
 I've also never gotten GPU plotting to work at all.
 XPlotter, on the other hand, works well once I figured it out - not quite as fast as WPlotter BUT WPlotter doesn't plot optimised files.


 Are you perhaps plotting to a USB-connected drive? For direct plotting, that IS a ton slower - which is not the fault of the DRIVE.

1) Open the wallet, press "Plot", press plot with CPU. What can be wrong?
2) Good to hear that, but you are the only one, i think. 8Tb Seagate Archive drives can be plotted much faster with GPU and buffered plotting. But with CPU (or GPU direct) I've tested on several PC - the plotting speed is only about 5-6Mb/s. Any other drive is much faster.

how profitable, if there is 1 laptop?

You don't HAVE to plot all the drives on the same machine - you can plot on ANY machine as long as you don't duplicate nonce numbers.

I've NEVER needed more than 5 days to plot a Seagate Archive 8TB - and that's on my GAMING machine that I don't have available TO plot on a "all the time" basis, and running XPlotter on the CPU.
 If it's taking you 15 days, you're doing something wrong.

I know that I can use any machine to plott but I have only one fast computer at home and this is my gaming machine 
Tried it also with my notebook but 6 days for a PMR Drive is to much compared with 2 days on my PC.

You don't HAVE to plot all the drives on the same machine - you can plot on ANY machine as long as you don't duplicate nonce numbers.

Ok maybe I should think smaller...i have started burst mining with 7x 8TB HDDs and my workstation was busy with plotting them for more than 16 days/24h (one time I had a blue screen after 36h   )
Plotting the same TBs on SMR HDDs with my setup could be easy took more than 42 days! Thats to much time for me and my workstation CPU under 100% fire.

CPU Plotting 1 SMR drive takes about 15days. So 7 drives can be plotted simultaneously 1 per thread on 1 PC. So it will take 15days for just plotting as it is. With some effort (and availability of faster drives) you can plot them faster.

It won't help you. The speed of direct plotting SMR 8Tb is only 5-6Mb/s.

                                                                   
Or you can use GPU miner...

Thats fine, but what is it in numbers? If I get 45secs I get XXXBursts. And if i get under 23secs I get XXX Burst + 2%/10%/20%/..... ?

The problem is that I don't see any difference in earnings between CPU miner, which runs only 160MB/s. The earnings fluctuates each day by 2 ... 5 ... 10 times.

 A few days of lost income at a COST difference that greatly exceeds the lost income is NOT worth it.


 Exception for if you get lucky on buying an external 8TB that turns out to NOT have an Archive - then it's no difference in the cost.



 I'm not stating that the Archive drives are ALWAYS the low cost option - sometimes something else in on sale for less - I'm just stating that AVOIDING them because they take longer to plot makes ZERO sense if the alternatives are more than a couple bucks higher in cost.

 My current "big miner" runs on an AMD FX-8570, and currently has an 8TB Archive and a 8TB Compute (and a smaller drive) - the Compute reads about 5% faster than the Archive, and BOTH are under 40 seconds using Blago's miner if I'm not doing anything else on the machine.

 Anything under a minute is tolerable IMO, anything under 30 secs is very good - it's all about getting read before the next block pops up, and it's pretty rare for a block to take less than 30 secs and somewhat uncommon for it to take less than 1 minute.

Total waste of money to spend day by day with plotting HDDs instead of mining and earn money with faster stuff!
