good work @goodplanets

Cheers @LithStud

Back again to bump this thread
There is another way to use flash memory with burst that's called M.2 flash ram modules. They are commonly found on newer generation motherboards but are currently limited to about 3 onboard. So if the wallets deep they can be placed into USB stick drive enclosures. Also quite power consuming a powered external hub would definitely be needed to prevent the USB from overloading or ending its service life prematurely. But like SSD they really only useful for plotting.

I couldn't resist posting this. Its a fantastic parody

hey let us know if it runs better on the paid version like as you would use it in free version. if you go pro

i gave up on SSD completely and I had to move my GPU on my motherboard to get half decent disk writes but if anything to note about Turboplotter the maximum efficiency of the free version (i don't have the paid one) is acheived with 1 plot disks. I have also found the larger the disk the faster it writes. However, in the back of my mind i am thinking there might be an undocumented free version limitation. Yes Turboplotter makes optimised plots. External disks can be slower than internals if you can plot to internal then move it to external it would be faster in your case. of ext Lacie.

i actually got it to work but it was slow at writing plots.

ok cool thanks @haitch @cryo please fix your miner

cheers @LithStud

well, here i am trying again yay!
found this new or old POC 2 version cryo made.
It has a bug in direct plot generation that it only supports a linux EXT4 partiton for direct mode even in its windows port.
So, since i have an installed read\write partition driver for ext4 i have a new problem:

here is the command i executed followed with its error message

C:\gpu>gpuplotgenerator generate direct E:\CRYO1\gpuplotgenerator generate direct F:\CRYO1\16884833744220149372_1111111111141632967_3576552_4096_2

So did i execute it incorrectly? because I don't wanna stuff around with an optimisation tool (if theres one)

I found a video:

it will take time to go back up again 1 reason is most of the sudden increased value was in fact investors whom were eventually scammed or scammers shut down for illegal buisness shells. Although many were caught out, dollars was lost. I watched a short film about it. It literally adds up to billions but at least not all were sad endings What makes me nervous about commenting is very few people have linked these scams to save the face of crypto investing i bet. One starts a scam the rest start scamming its disgraceful. Its a copycat ritual. But seriously its best to be transparent about a public blockchain. All the dodgy buisness shutdowns occured just before the fall of price and polo's stupid ID system came online.. My source is Dtube. This means also that theres now fairer opportunity for legit investment startups to occur. Cheers Lithstud

hey electrum! i lost money through you years ago! ah well.

pump and dump sounds familiar lol

they just got a lot of flood victims mining their losses just remember you could be giving them what they already have its a long internet away and even united states is far from me is why i'd love to start a filecoin here. Being central to most countries means everyone gets equal balanced opportunity without a whole super continent to go through.

cheers for the info @LithStud

the toll is getting heavy for polo https://www.bestbitcoinexchange.net/en/poloniex-com/

the user comments say it all
They need to back off the photo ID racket.
Last I looked at the polo exchange every coin fell through the floor as they were recovering from a server crash LUL
Besides, security is where Anonymity ends and thats at the Banks and ATM's bitcoin ATM's take photos banks transfer coins to cash and vice versa.

SSD's are great storage devices and prices have come down significantly since their first introduction.
Sure one or two are great for gaming and plotting your disks however .....

A typical SSD consumes 1 AMP of power and many use the 5 volt rail (less power on this rail in general across Power Supply Units than 12 volt)
Mechanical drives use at least 50% less power to run and that rating runs all the way back to 1995.
If your going to stack 10 SSD disks into a tower or rack beware your going to use at least %50 more amperage than mechanical disk drives all on one voltage rail. In some cases you be best off installing a dedicated power supply just for these SSD's especially if they run on 5 volts to reserve power for USB and other functions.
Almost all power supplies have printed power ratings but where wattage is shown than amperage the correct amperage can be calculated remember a technical reference to power supplies is never expect 100% power at all times. A 1000 watt PSU will give a maximum safe average of 800 to 850 watts of power without really heating up. This is due to power line conditions.
There are step down converters to change 12 volts to 5 volts suitable for single and multiple SSD units also power supplies for either 5 volts or 12 volts that can come with up to 60 amps (and typically sold as LED strip power units significantly cheaper than 1200 watt PC PSU's)
From my own testing, I ran several SSD together the power draw is never constant. It only uses its power rating when its being written to or reading. Hard disks on the other hand have to run at their specified rating all the time. Given the differences with cost and energy usages its probably best to mine with hard disks than SSD's. The larger the hard disk capacity means less power consumption and can last indeftineately. SSD's however have a much higher purchase value and the energy cost of running 3 filecoin miners at once probably would cost more electricity even though seeking times would be improved over mechanical disks. Heat output of SSD's really makes them only suited to plotting.
