Can you plot on one machine and move plots to another?
-
Once you plot drives on one machine can you simply move the drives to another machine and mine with them? Or do you have to re-plot the drives to use with a different miner? Thanks.

@Longsnowsm It depends - you can certainly move the plots between machines, but it also depends on what you're planning on doing. If you're doing manual plotting it's fine, just calculate out the starting nonces. But if you're using the AI, it will create the plots, you then move them - if you now create new plots, they'll be identical to the original ones - and just a worthless waste of space.

@Longsnowsm Not sure for the iMac
-
Yes (speaking from experience). I have done this and it's working fine. Just make sure your plots don't overlap each other. And your the drive letters of your Hard drive are not the same.
-
Just trying to figure out a way to plot drives faster. The current plotting process it will take me a couple of weeks on this one machine just to get the drives I have plotted and I am going NUTS waiting on it! LOL
Ok, I will have to revise that estimate, it will take me 2 months to plot drives at this rate!
-
@Longsnowsm How much are you plotting ??
-
@Gadrah_ At this point I am going to plot another 30tb and see how that goes, possibly more.
-
@Longsnowsm Using the GPU Plotter would be faster if you've got a compatible one.
-
@haitch Yes, I have thought about it, but my gpu's are tied up mining ETH at the moment. I have some other GPU's that I could use, but don't have another rig setup yet for them. I am falling behind on my "miner" duties here! ROFL
-
@Longsnowsm I can't help you figure out your priorities sorry
-
@haitch I am just plotting and optimizing plots as I go at the moment, turned off the burst miner while all of that is going on. Hopefully over the next 4 or 5 days I will have made a dent in getting some of these plotted and be back to mining.
