what is plot merge ?
Plot merge refactors the plot files so you have less disk seeking and longer sequential reads. Your read speed will increase and hdd stress will be reduced.
Does this refer to the stagger size while generating plots or is this referring to the mining process?
Would you be able to compile dcct new C plot generator for Windows? I don't mine using Linux, but it would give everyone an equal footing on both Windows and Linux.
Is there still a possibility of a GPU plot generator to be released?
i tried to figure out a solution to compile shabal on windows but it looks like the assembler code has some specific optimizations to interact with the linux kernel which simply does not exist in windows.
also windows and linux will never be comparable in terms of data wrangling which burst does.
this starts with the ntfs filesystem and ends with the task scheduler.
the good thing for burst is that most users will never experience this difference because they host only a few terrabyte plotfiles on their machines. windows should work fine up to 20 tb local storage and 4tb cif network volumes.
