We’ll also offer any underutilized plotters out there to share plotting power to get back some costs of running. (although you’ll have to have decent egress bandwidth)
Bandwidth/storage is def a challenge so we plan to offer harvester as a service once the plotting service is stable and running.
Bug Report: I used a password manager to generate a (long) password. Registration form accepted it. I received and clicked the email-verification link. I attempted to log in.
The login form unreasonably complains that my password must be between 7 and 20 characters:
your speed divide with 8 and you will get your download in Mb/s and then multiply with 60(seconds) and divide 101.4 with that and you will get time for one k32
You get 3 parallel jobs and it takes about 8 hours per plot. Then you download the file and delete it to free one worker and the next plot starts automatically. You get an email whenever a plot is done and now you can use the API to automate things as well. The bandwidth was a bit sketchy initially but lately I’ve been maxing out my gigabit downlink.
Note on bandwidth, we’re not doing any plotter selection based on user location, so depending where you are some plots might be slower than others.
This is next on todo list though, currently focusing on scale and bug fixing.
