Another idea came to mind.....
Say I create 3 plot files and use one instance of Blago miner on Drive C.
Then use fastcopy and copy them to Drive D
Without changing the file names, nonces etc I run a second instance of blago miner.
running the same named files separately can't overlap right. They are on different drives even though they are named the same they are used with separate running blagominer
All the copied instances will find the same "best" nonce from your plot files - your x min y secs nonce from plot one will not improve on the x min y sec identical nonce from plot two. There is no "cheating" the system, the space you make available to unique nonces is your mining capacity - there is no beating the system.
H.
Not cheating the system in fact its a pain to make plot files. Using wplotgenerator I made them for 4 days on a 8gb drive and they are crap.
Waiting 3 -4 days for a plot common. If I have a 2tb drive filled with good plots then I'm going to image it to another drive and not change the numbers. Much faster.
There's a GPU plotter that is MUCH faster -

Lets say you have a plot: c:\5860130482017119184_220000000_409600_16384
you then image c: -> D:\, so now you have D:\5860130482017119184_220000000_409600_16384
When you mine the two files, each contains the same identical nonces. Each plot file contains unique nonces - making a copy of it isn't going to help you. The two files identically overlap.
I can you be right about a unique nonce when I created 4 500gb plots all the same file size , a different number anyone can change.
The nonces the plotter creates in the plot file are based off of your id and the starting nonce number - changing the name of the file won't change the contents of the file. If you have 4 * 2TB drives, you have to plot all 4 drives - imaging or copying won't work.
