i was hoping that restarting wouldn't impact mining
is there a way to tell your hash rate , to compair setting or from my computer to a better computer
Every nounce you've created is a hash so hashrate is defined by available plots, machine power doesn't really matter, faster hdd does a bit but my machine scans 3 TB in about 2 minutes (i7 with two normal 2 tb drives) with cpu running at 10% and hdd at 80% xD
That seems horribly slow. I'm using a few external USB3 2TB hdds using stagger of 8191, and it takes about 15 seconds to scan. What type/inteface drives and what stagger are you using?
I like to share a little tool I wrote to increase stagger size for already finished plots. No more 8191 limit!
Its simple C code - for linux only - its short, so check & compile yourself.
https://bchain.info/merge.cIt does not hold everything in memory but seeks on disk to get the scoops.
This is a great idea,
but I'm not sure your implementation is right. Why are you subtracting bytes in the size in the pread and write statements, and adding bytes in the offsets? disregard that, didn't realize the function didn't always read the whole thing.
