Re: [ANN] -NEW BURST OP- MINE ANY FREE SPACE-(HDD MINING)- ATs, AE, P2P MARKET+MORE!
If you're using the AIO GUI Wallet that has the plotter and miner built in, it uses xplotter by default - so just tell it what drive, and it'll optimally plot it.
Thats really great :-)
One more question. you can choose how many manually set your CPU cores and the Threads. Cpu i totally understand, but what about the treads? i see the more threads i choose the higher my ram usage is... so the more threats the faster it will make the plots or the bigger or? And if you choose for more threads, does it affect the mining speed when i start mining plots created with more threads?
Thanks in advance.
Hyperthreaded CPU's have two threads per physical CPU core. I haven't used the AIO for a while, but expect it allows you to set only threads. The more threads, the faster it mines. More RAM is not required for more threads, but I believe the AIO assigns a default amount of RAM per thread - you can override that though.
As test i am starting to do a 500gb partitoin on a 1TB. Just a test. then i gonna do both my 5TB's.
Now i just see my 1TB is format as NTFS, is this ok? Or should it be better FAT32 or does it not make any difference?
thanks
for XPlotter it MUST be NTFS - FAT32 or exFAT will not work.
Ok good to know.
The image i wanted to show you is here... I first started the gui wallet, then i see its already using a lot of memory on java too. I am wondering, now the doss comands started, can i close the burst gui wallet and java? For plotting i dont know why this should still be running on my computer. Or am i wrong?
That's a really high value for RAM that Xplotter is using. AFAIK without being over-ridden, it'll never be higher than 50% of total system RAM, your's is over 80%. Xplotter can be stopped and restarted to resume the current plot, but you'll need to manually do it - which will involve editing a batch file and manually launching it. If you want to restart let me know and I can give you the steps, or do a TV session and set it up for you.
Ok, well i am testing plotting on a 500gb and its already done for 80% so i will leave it like that for now.
So when i do my 5TB, i probably choose less "threats" via the plotter in the gui wallet? Like 6 instead of 8? But then it will take longer? In fact i have no problem with the fact it using so much ram. I am not doing anything else on that computer. I was just wondering if i even have more ram space for xplotter i i shut down the gui wallet and java after starting the plotting :-)
As I said, I've not used a recent version of the AIO, but you should be able to set ram and threads - set threads to your system total - 1, and RAM to half of what you have
