So, question from a complete noob:
Can the thrashing of space be done on a RAMdisk, preventing SSD wear? Thereby only the 100GB would be moved onto long term storage, e.g. primary SSDs.
Is that worthwhile? Does RAM speed matter in this case?
- xtracto 5y agoYes, ram speed matters A LOT . That's what is called "temporary storage" in Chia, and people who mine look for the fastest SSDs to mine faster. The big problem is whether you can setup a 400GB Ramdisk?
- skybrian 5y agoSpeed mattered a lot at the beginning because likelihood of winning was much higher (due to fewer people playing the game). I don't know if it still matters or it's too late now.
- JohnTHaller 5y agoIf you have 356GB of RAM per plot, sure.
- rambojazz 5y agoPlease don't give new ideas to miners, RAM is already expensive as it is now :)
