  • How to plot just in RAM

    I didn’t use madmax for like 8 months so I don’t remember, but checkout the default number here https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-plotter The thread number is depending on how many thread your cpu got. I think the more thread is better. Try to put thread = 36 and buckets = 256
  • Reverse engineering the plotting process
    3 projects | /r/chia | 20 Oct 2022
    No need to reverse engineer anything. It's explained in all the detail you need in the Chia Proof of Space Construction document. It's implemented in chiapos though I find madmax's implementation of the plotter to be easier to read: https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-plotter/tree/master/include/chia
  • How to fix MadMAx Plotter not installed error
    5 projects | /r/chia | 7 Sep 2022
    The article you mentioned said that all the questions about the madmax plotter has to updated on its official GitHub repo, https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-plotter, so I made a copy of the same complained and updated it onto the official madmax plotter repo (and the link was given by the official chia repo).

    Yes, see https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-plotter for plotting with a ramdisk and https://github.com/ericaltendorf/plotman to automate everything.
  • How to plot without Chia Application?

    You can install madmax directly (or use the compiled windows binary). Disclaimer: neither are officially endorsed but I've used them with no issues.
  • Getting Back Into Things, Re-plotting
    2 projects | /r/chia | 13 Dec 2021
    Start by going default settings, it´s very good already. You can fiddle around with -u and especially -v values ( you can check what those mean on the Github page here ) . For most people -u 256 (default) and -v 128 or 256 (default) will be fastest. I´d go for 16 threads but if you like you can start out with 12 and go up from there until you don't see any improvement.

    Your best bet however is to not rely on the Chia devs for this and get the plotter straight from the source.
