  • Will Chia plotting destroy my NVMe SSD!? Understanding SSD endurance (TBW)

    Yes, see https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-plotter for plotting with a ramdisk and https://github.com/ericaltendorf/plotman to automate everything.

    Plotman is what you want. You can plot on multiple drives (tmp), then cache the completed plots on destination drives/directories (dst). Then the archive function can rsync them to an array of archive drives. Very easy to modify the config .yaml file then run "plotman plot" and "plotman archive". https://github.com/ericaltendorf/plotman

    Plotman: v0.5.1
  • Its time to replot, looking for nudges in the right direction.

    Yeah. Plotman config guide shows you how to set it up for madmax. Its as easy as changing the "type" variable in the config file from "chia" to "madmax" and then changing your other plotting variables to what they should be be for madmax.

  • Some quick frequently asked questions about Flexpool Chia Pool
    5 projects | /r/Flexpool | 17 Jul 2021
    Madmax plotter, Swar plot manager, and Plotman plot manager all support portable plots for pools now. Others probably do, but I'm not as familiar with them. Update to the latest versions for the best results, and double-check your configuration files as some settings may have changed since your last update. And you can also use plot managers with Madmax these days, if you want to take advantage of workflow management (multiple destination drives, parallel plotting on bigger plotters, less scrolly logs, etc).
  • How to plot for pools with plotman? Is there an update required or does it work out of the box already?
    2 projects | /r/chia | 8 Jul 2021
    The v0.5 plotman includes support for madmax plotting as well as chia pool plotting. If you're feeling brave, update your plotman with: pip install --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/ericaltendorf/plotman@main
