Hey all, question for heavy miners. What hash rates are you guys seeing? I'm trying to get a feel for what is 'optimal' for this field, in terms of a target.

lol...I'll keep playing around. Trying to test for a hardware build before I start acquiring parts. I think I'm on the right track, so far I'm up to 1.4 mh or so.
2018-06-29 01:00:43

Depends on hardware. If you own your own hardware you will get higher hash per core. Rented VMs are usually around 50kh per core when memfield mining
2018-06-29 01:01:48
nurrd
But architecturally, am I more heavily focusing on RAM, or drive quality? Seems like if I stick with memory mining, the drives don't matter as much in the long run.

Biggest field is 2T, right?

Which mineral pool is this
2018-06-29 01:14:32

Ok, I see how to scale it now after looking at field sizes. Run mem long as you can, then on higher fields drives and virtual mem start to come into play.

All pools are good. They just have different hashrates which will affect how consistent your rewards are

if you are worried about one sided hash dominance, mine more
2018-06-29 10:19:57

and if you wanna distribute better, use your own pool one of the smaller pools
