Burst isn't the only coin on a downtrend, BTC and others are too

If you created your plots with a small stagger size, processing them takes a long time. You might miss your deadline if its found too late!The utility optimizes your already created files making them a lot faster to read.

Is there any difference  with 3072 stagger size and 100000 stagger size? How much time will it take to read 3 Tb with 3072 stagger size and 100000 stagger size?

It's worth remembering some of the EPIC crashes BTC/USD has gone through, too.

pool mining or solo? when pool: which pool?

Thats cool

I've created an advanced windows port of the dcct's-linux plotter:

Improvements against the Java miner:

• At least a 5 times better performance. With a Haswell CPUs up to 14 times.
• Break and continue a plot a latter time. Please break only between writes.
• Optional asynchronous mode for writing the plots in the background. Use twice as much RAM.
• I have only access to Intel CPUs, so I don't know if it is working for AMD CPUs.
• Setting lower priority class at start up to ease the impact for foreground applications (e.g. miner)

Usage: wplotgenerator <account id> <start nonce> <number of nonces> <stagger size> <threads> [/async]
         <account id> = your numeric acount id
         <start nonce> = where you want to start plotting, if this is your first HDD then set it to 0, other wise set it to your last hdd's <start nonce> + <number of nonces>
         <number of nonces> = how many nonces you want to plot - 200gb is about 800000 nonces
         <stagger size> = set it to 2x the amount of MB RAM your system has (with async 1x the RAM your system has)
         <threads> = How many CPU threads you want to utilise
       options:
        async ... writing plots from a background-thread for best throughput (needs twice as much RAM)
