plotman VS chia-plotter

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

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.

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).

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

from the default config:

The original Madmax plotter supports both K33 and K34, https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-plotter

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

I would suggest canceling and plotting with the Chia POS plotter. For testing, the Chia POS plotter should be fast enough. The madMAx plotter is generally faster but it has had issues plotting from the Chia Network client in the past. If you want to use the madMAx plotter, I would suggest using the standalone version directly from madMAx's github (which has a link to the github that does windows compiles in the install directions).

git clone https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-plotter.git

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

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.

The OP can try using the non-packaged version https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-plotter

You can get around this by using the standalone version of madmax or setting your temp directory as your final directory and using a script to monitor and move .plot files to your final directory.

You can install madmax directly (or use the compiled windows binary). Disclaimer: neither are officially endorsed but I've used them with no issues.
