Great tutorial bro! Just a few tips for those using mining pool like HPOOL:
- There is no need to keep farmer running (and it’s forbidden too)
- There is no need to run chia commands through venv (. ./activate)
/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:
- HiveOS = Intel i3-7100, 8GB DDR4 and 500GB NVMe
- Debian 10 = Intel Xeon D-2141I, 32GB DDR4 RAM and 500GB NVMe
- Windows 10 = Intel i7 10750H, 16GB DDR4 RAM and 1TB NVMe
