How to configure to mine from different plot folders
I moved plots from another pc to rig’s hdd.
Hi,

If you want to autostart your farmer, add this line to your /hive/etc/crontab.root
@reboot sleep 60; cd /usr/lib/chia-blockchain ; . ./activate ; chia start farmer
After a reboot my farmer runs, so this works for me.
I find solution;
type chia plots add -d and directory
like this: chia plots add -d /media/tarla/tarla_1_8TB/_tarla_1
What you also may not forget is the TBW of your SSD. Usual SSD’s have an TBW of ~200-400TB, one k32 (101GB) plot consumes about 1,328TBW, so after ~150-300 Plots your SSD will be dead…
You can check your current TBW as described here: SSD Total Bytes Written (TBW) Calculator | virten.net
Dumb question potentially - Will it continue to create new plots over and over or will you have to manually run the command to create plots each time?
I tried running chia show -s
but I got the message
Connection error. Check if full node rpc is running at 8555
This is normal if full node is still starting up
Any idea what this means? I’m not getting an output like the one you had with “Current Blockchain Status: Not Synced”
It depends on the “-n 2” option, in this case he stops after creating 2 plots, but if you have space for, let’s say 20 plots, then just specify “-n 20” and then it will create 20 plots and stop then. If something goes wrong, then only the last plot is gone, by the way…
Great tutorial bro! Just a few tips for those using mining pool like HPOOL:
/usr/lib/chia-blockchain/venv/bin/python /usr/lib/chia-blockchain/venv/bin/chia plots create -n 2 -k 32 -b 4000 -t /home/user/chia_tmp/ -d /mnt/sdb1/chia_plots/
will work just fine!
I will share my script for parallel plotting, that runs in background with full log generation. Remember to set the number of plots, memory size, number of threads and the properly sleep time (phase 1 time plus 30 minutes is enough).
#!/bin/bash
# =============================================
# Usage: /home/user/plots.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &
# =============================================
/usr/lib/chia-blockchain/venv/bin/python /usr/lib/chia-blockchain/venv/bin/chia plots create -k 32 -n 10 -b 4096 -r 16 -t /home/user/chia_tmp/ -d /mnt/sdb1/chia_plots/ > /home/user/plot1.log 2>&1 &
sleep 120m
/usr/lib/chia-blockchain/venv/bin/python /usr/lib/chia-blockchain/venv/bin/chia plots create -k 32 -n 10 -b 4096 -r 16 -t /home/user/chia_tmp/ -d /mnt/sdb1/chia_plots/ > /home/user/plot2.log 2>&1 &
My current plotting setups:
I looked at the HPOOL Site, but I did’t get how to mine there, can you explain that a little bit?
And do you already have some rewards? With how many plots?
Hi,
This command not found for me. Can u help me?
can u share the file crontab.root?
that is my script I use -t and -2 to separate Temp folder files

Hi,
does it mean that gpu mining keeps running while plotting, is there any affection to one another?
How i can load my mnemonic words ? and there are any way to install the GUI ?
I’ve been having issues with crontab. Is /hive/etc/crontab.root the right file? Also crontab is overwritten on updates.
You seem to have experience and i find this tutorial only 80% helpfull. My gpu mining rigs have really slow cpu ddr and hdd’s so im plotting somewere else and want my riggs to farm the plotted files. Im not sure how to format drives (plotting is done in windows) and mount them correctly to hiveos linux. Also i would be great to have this running on startup (and possibly even exsist after i update hiveos). I really would appreciate if you could give a brief explanation on how to do mounting and farming in hiveos without the plotting part.
Just saw this post. To add on its a lot easier to just run Flexfarmer so there’s no need for the full node or syncing.
Hive OS runs on Linux so its possible to farm Chia using Flexfarmer while GPU mining. The link to the guide is below, check the Flexfarmer reddit post for additional details.
Note that this guide does require some familiarity with Linux and we do not officially support this as its a project done up by a community member. Hopefully someone will do up a better guide/video.
@Br4ne I have a similar set up. The official guide on farming on multiple machines is thorough.
The rest is just familiarizing yourself with using a cli. This guide also helped me regarding mounting drives automatically.
The only issue I’ve had is getting crontab working.
Hi, I have my hiveos on a 1 tb hdd. Can you explain every step in detail? Please.
One last thing: How to update your local chia installation.
First go to the chia directory and activate venv:
cd /home/chia-blockchain
. ./activate
next stop all chia services:
chia stop -d all
after that fetch all changes and start the update:
deactivate
git fetch
git checkout latest
git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD
chmod 777 install.sh
./install.sh
. ./activate
chia init
After that start the chia services again:
chia start farmer
After latest change I hat problems with permissions of the config folder, you can fix that with:
chia init --fix-ssl-permissions
