Title: A really odd question... Post by: TomTomBC on March 03, 2011, 02:59:12 AM So ive been mining bitcoins here and there recently, just doing whatever. When i popped the 2gb jump drive i use for school in, the AutoPlay had an option called "Windows ReadyBoost" that was said to "speed up your system" . I went and wiki'd the name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Readyboost) and in the article it mentions a 8000-10000 percent increase in the speed of an 'operation'. So could this be used to increase the hashrate when generating? Because it just seems really too good to be true.
Thanks! Title: Re: A really odd question... Post by: dirtyfilthy on March 03, 2011, 03:09:11 AM No. Also you have probably been hacked.

Readyboost is when you don't have enough RAM, instead of using your HDD as RAM, it uses your flash drive, which has a much faster latency. Bitcoin uses almost no RAM (as long as you have 128MB your fine). This is more targeted to netbooks and very poor laptops and even worse desktops and Readyboost is actually legit, you have not been probably hacked Title: Re: A really odd question...

Sorry, I was ROFLMAO ;D ;D So you say you Googled it and the Jump Drive will increase your processing power by 8000-10,000 percent. Hmm.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Yea, give it a try ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I hear jumping up and down while farting increases the processing of the hashes too... ;D ;D ;D I couldn't resist, Welcome !!!! Title: Re: A really odd question... Post by: TomTomBC on March 03, 2011, 03:20:25 AM Yeah uh I wasn't dead set on this working... Thats why I said it was TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. Thats also why I quoted stuff, because I was skeptical... I didn't say a thing about processing power, i just said it increased the speed of an "operation", which was a vague term...
And i didn't expect a 8000 percent increase in speed... that would be insane, i was just wondering if there was some kind of small effect on it. Title: Re: A really odd question...

For people who don't have much RAM but have a USB 3.0 ultra fast SSD USB drive, latency goes from 14.1 to <0.01 ms, speed go from 50MB/s to 250MB/s R and W... That is a substantial increase in speed. it is the latency that matters the most here though. Of course, if you have 1GB + RAM, ready boost won't help much except in extreme cases Title: Re: A really odd question...

If you are searching for a substantial MH increase, OVERCLOCK! I went from 229ish MH/s to 282~283 MH/s... That's almost a 25% increase |
