The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

Raid5 won't help much since you even sacrifice one disk, if you set it up just for mining go jbod or raid0...
And yes, people are expanding and still building their systems, plot generation is awfully slow.
JBOD and RAID0 have no form of parity. JBOD can be recovered compared to RAID0, but RAID5 has parity and more performance than JBOD. One disk sacrifice is better than losing all the data possible, especially on RAID0. Originally I was going to do a RAID0/JBOD, but after thinking about it, I didn't want the chance of failure. Good thing about JBOD, you can mix and match hdd's, and use their full capacity. As with RAID, you ideally want to match identical hdd's. Your point? I wouldn't post that if i didnt know what i am talking about but thanks for the lesson... Why should i care about parity for some mining plots i can even recreat exact copies of IF a drive fails...one more drive is imho worth more than the slight chance that ONE drive will fail within the next days / weeks. |

why create a raid anyway ... e.g. for windows you can simply hardlink plot-files from different drives to your mining 'plots' folder ... mklink /h c:\pocminer\plots\your_plot_file x:\your_plot_file |

JFYI i am currently generating plots, one i5-4460 with 2048 staggermant creates around 0.5 gb/min with 4 threads (measured over 30 minutes) since we are trying to put things into numbers |

It's not like your trying to kill my family, insult my religion and/or anything major like that...lol Just annoying to recreate plots, if that needs to be done. |

Solo mining is highly luck base compare to pool mining. Plus, there is no way to know the diff or whatever is like a diff for this coin. So, there is no way to calculate block per day.
/burst?requestType=getBlockchainStatus (GET) Thu Aug 14 2014 13:35:28 GMT+0200
{
"lastBlock": "1014125104951407132",

"numberOfBlocks": 1201,
"isScanning": false,
"cumulativeDifficulty": "67567251495709",

}
What about this 'cumulativeDifficulty' ... thought this is the diff?! Increased by 5% within 21 blocks... { "lastBlock": "16322078320396019945", "lastBlockchainFeederHeight": 1222, "time": 299736, "lastBlockchainFeeder": "54.167.111.103:8123", "numberOfBlocks": 1223, "isScanning": false, "cumulativeDifficulty": "70385126787201", "version": "1.0.0" } |

so;
- after your plots are done being created, the 'run_generate.bat' will close on its own, and you will have only the wallet and 'run_mine.bat' running?
- the burst wallet screen site idle for the most part?
My last activity in the 'wallet' window was 2 days ago.
I have 3 pc's running, nothing found yet....
- also maybe a bug in the wallet webpage
does anyone notice on the Blocks menu - 'All Blocks' and 'Mined By You' does not change\refresh when either buttons are clicked?
(or is my wallet stuck)
?
thx

did you sync your system time before mining? dev said it's very important |

1. Right! 2. Right! But sync your Windows time! You can mine while generating! You will see some reading error in the miner window but it will works! |

My system took around 24 hours to create around 750-800gb. Its an i7 4770k with one of the latest Seagate 1tb drives. I am averaging around 1 block per day currently. Also got some coins, .1 per 10k or .25 per 30k , I want to use escrow as well.

If i just copy my 100gb plots 5 times, instead of generating them. Should be that trick work correct?

Thats a waste of space. You'd end up getting the same results as with one 100gb plot. |

then it will be considered as only 100gb to the server, you must generate the 500g plots , or it will only do the duplicate work, 400g ==0g |
