so what distribution to use for mining?
Fable
2018-12-28 03:47:21
ubuntu?
Fable
2018-12-28 04:56:30
I like Debian
Fireduck
2018-12-28 04:56:46
But any Linux is fine if you can install Java
Fireduck
2018-12-28 04:56:57
Java 11 has some performance improvement
Fireduck
2018-12-28 04:57:08
But you can only build with Java 8
Fireduck
2018-12-28 04:57:33
You can run both, but need java_home environment var pointed to 8
Fireduck

This is for another machine
Fable
2018-12-28 05:20:43
still will be using windows though
Fable
2018-12-28 05:22:00
Windows works
Fireduck
2018-12-28 05:22:21
Doesn't seem to have as good filesytem optimization
Fireduck
2018-12-28 05:22:35
But works and works as a memory miner fine
Fireduck
2018-12-28 05:23:20
with one drive though?
Fable
2018-12-28 05:23:46
Will a java jar run on linux that runs on windows?
Fable
2018-12-28 05:25:32
Yes
Fireduck
2018-12-28 05:28:39
I think crypto is still broken though
Fable
2018-12-28 05:28:46
good luck fixing that
Fable
2018-12-28 05:34:52
What is broken?
Fireduck
2018-12-28 05:35:03
As far as I am aware, everything works fine on windows
Fireduck
2018-12-28 05:35:19
especially since we are using java native crypto libraries, so it doesn't matter what windows libraries do
Fireduck
2018-12-28 05:35:40
I meant crypto in general
Fable
2018-12-28 05:35:58
but the cpu usage is too high on windows?
Fable
2018-12-28 05:36:15
It seems to be higher for a similar amount of disk activity
Fireduck
2018-12-28 05:36:24
you can only mine on one drive
Fable
2018-12-28 05:36:53
arktika should allow you to use more, however that doesn't mean the windows IO system is fast enough to handle it
Fireduck
2018-12-28 05:37:35
okay
