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.
You look at it wrong. Think of it as POS,just stake are not the coins but hdd space...  If your miner can read all alocated space before new block,than it's fast enough. You don't gain anything by increasing read speed. |

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

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. |

The speed of direct plotting SMR 8Tb is only 5-6Mb/s. |

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. |

Total waste of money to buy the faster stuff JUST BECAUSE IT PLOTS FASTER. Total waste of money to spend day by day with plotting HDDs instead of mining and earn money with faster stuff! 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.

Thats to much time for me and my workstation CPU under 100% fire. 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 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. |

So you plot one on the notebook WHILE you are plotting 2 or 3 on the "gaming" PC. 8-P |

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.
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. |

There is no need in "other machines". 7 drives can be plotted simultaneously on i7. |

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. |

Xplotter is the best in my opinion for speed when you take into account that it creates plots optimized already, sometimes tweaking the settings may help a little bit I remember adding more RAM and speed increased. |

Another one would be avoiding getting key logged, having your passphrase stolen and then having to replot all your Hard drives. |

It uses gpu,and creates optimised plots when in "direct" mode. |
