Recently started to try HDD Mining

[laineux]

Ok

I will try it with some old HDD

Thanks

Depending on what you call "old", you might make a few cents a month

Can anyone validate that my payments for Burst mining are what I should expect? I've looked at the calculators and they don't line up.

I have 7.25 TB plotted, running on an external 8TB hard drive on USB3.

I am using JMiner, my average round time for the 7.25 TB is 43s. I am on a 50-50 pool.

I have been mining for about 12 hours and have only made .12 burst. According to the calculator I should make about 11 burst per day.

I want to switch to a 0-100 pool, but I don't have a burst to pay the pull to switch. Anyone willing to send me a single burst?


Does anyone see anything out of the norm?

I see that you should wait a few days rather than 12 hours before drawing conclusions ;-)

Yea, I get that. I still think given the small space 7.25, likely to grow to 25tb in the next couple weeks I should use a 0-100 pool, right?

Can someone experienced with burst mining explain to me what is happening here?

I cant seem to get the DL for every block? Or what is going on? For every block im supposed to DL 2 seperate things right? Sometimes i just download one, and sometimes it doesnt even do one! i use Qbundle and mine on 0-100-pool.burst.cryptoguru.org.

Hoping some of you got an explaination for what is happening here

I believe that quite often you simply don't find a deadline (not enought hdd space), and that othertimes the DL is not confirmed if it falls outside the allowed range for the pool. I see the pool you are on allows very long DL, the ones i mine allow no more then 30days, some allow only 24hr deadlines, so i think that is what you are seeing.

how much power does it use???

I have 7.25 TB plotted,... I am on a 50-50 pool.

You are scamming yourself. Do not mine on 50-50. Move to 0-100. If you wonder why, see my earlier messages.

Yes, the reason i use this pool is for the very long deadline. Since i only use about 1,3TB i tought that would suffice. But what you are saying is that i need longer deadline? Or what to you mean if it falls "outside the rage of the pool"

Im sorry for not understanding, im new to HDD mining as i stated in the OP.
Thanks mate.

It basically says your miner is out of date. (not enough terabytes)

Miner inflation.

Miner inflation.

And the only way to fix it is to use more Terabytes? Not change pool to more deadline or downloading another miner?

How do you download another miner? Didn't understand this one.

You can go to another pool which accepts bigger deadlines maybe but still the other dudes will submit by far better deadlines than yours and you'll still get nothing.

Get more terabytes.

Alright now i get it, thank you for your help and patiance.

Because the miner is a piece of software.
The thing that makes heat and noise in your room is a rig.

so its not worth mining with 2 TB ?

That's $2/month. Do you think it is worth it? 1 free beer every month for your efforts. Doesn't sound too bad 

[Tidsdilatation]

Just wanted to update: Mining away with both Burst mining and Storj Share to compare what is most profitable (if it even is) at the end of the month! Will come back with the results and if any of you have questions just ask, this is for us GPU miners who have completly neglected the HDD miners!

So you've got the same storage space allocated to each solution and you've started your experiments at the same time?

haha ok i'll think about getting some more TB

how much power does a single HDD pull while mining?
