My SSD was running out of space partly due to the ever increasing size of the blockchain data stored on it. I decided to move my Ethereum folder and its 40GB blockchain to a new location and in this video I show the whole process.

A response video to many of the questions I get asked regarding my 100TB Burstcoin mining rig. In this video I explain why I use external drives, why I use USB 3, why I don’t use raid or SSD’s for my plots.

One of my old graphics cards packed up so I thought I’d replace it with a brand new RX570. In this video I install and benchmark the gpu in comparison to the RX470.

Power usage at the plug socket.

Claymores Dual Eth Miner V9.2 in Ethereum Only Mode
RX570 22Mh/s 160 Watts
RX470 Modded & Undervolted 28Mh/s 126 Watts.

Unboxing video of my new graphics card RX570 to be added to the Ethereum miner Worker 3. Purchased this a replacement for my broken and outdated 7950 which recently had a fan failure.
