starting at plot 1 and stopping at plot 80000 is that going to use as much space as possible on my HDD? ( for maximum hdd hash rate)?
No. Like I stated earlier, thats only 2 Gb .80000 x 256 Kb. ok i think im starting to understand! i see my harddrive space being used! and i noticed the plots folder! so once its done i could re run the command starting at 80001-160000 for another 2 GB? and it would write some more plots, yes? Exactly great! ok almost got it. curious about adding harddrives now. so lets say i attach some sata hdd's and format them ntsc and give them drive letters, how does it know to plot them on that particular harddrive. and how does it know to look there for my plots? It doesn't know. You have to run a miner on each drive and start plotting where you left off on the first drive. As for the miner, it scans the "plots" folder when the block changes. So it knows if there is a new file.

I had a question. When i mine in the pool V2 and i plot files at the moment, is it possible to mine at these files? I get no valid shares and shares the are successfully transferd to the pool.
So i'm ban from pool? Help me...i'm confused 😩

If you just started plotting with the new ID for pool v2, you need to let it run longer. After 2-300 Gb of plots you will start seeing shares at a smaller interval

I somehow managed to fork myself yesterday so missed mining all night
noticed something was wrong when the block after mine hadn't been found for over 6 hours
how is something like this even possible?
edit: increased size so maybe someone will see and if something needs to be done we can fix it before we have forks all over the place.
This was probably because the clock on your computer was wrong. It's best to make sure your OS has its time synced with the internet to make sure it stays accurate.

You would need to copy the miner without the plots folder. And yes, x miners for x drives. The good news is it doesn't need much resources to run the miner.
