Compressed plots invalid, but is farming...?

Gr1pen · December 5, 2023, 5:50pm

I created my first compressed plots and when doing a “chia plots check” on the Harvester the compressed plots shows as invalid.

However on the Farmer they show up as Farming.

Is this expected?

Simple question, Which OS are you using and what version of plotter did you use? How did you make the plot and is it compressed? etc…

Gr1pen · December 5, 2023, 7:05pm

Farmer is running on MacOS.
Harvester on RPI and Plotter on Windows.
The uncompressed plots was made with the default chia plotter. But now I got a machine with loads of RAM so I made the compressed plots with bladebit ram plotter.

I just found this which seems related (My windows machine is Windows Server 2022):

Will try with another OS.

Please upgrade to chia 2.1.1 and bladebit 3.1.0

Gr1pen · December 7, 2023, 4:21pm

Chia was already 2.1.1. I now tried with Bladebit 3.1 from link below and generated a new plot which chia now says is valid.
Thanks!

Now Im confused
After the testplot was fine I plotted 10 more and those 10 are invalid…, still they show up on the farmer and is farming…

Easy fix, switch to Gigahorse.

drhicom · December 8, 2023, 1:44pm

When using bladebit to make a plot, some great guy in North East Eng posted this string.
.
C:\bb_3.1.0>.\bladebit_cuda.exe -f ffffff -c cccccc -n 6 -z 7 cudaplot --check 100 --check-threshold 0.8 f:\plots
.
It does a check right when it makes the plot at the end.

Gr1pen · December 8, 2023, 1:51pm

But I’m using bladetbit.exe (ramplot), not bladebit_cuda.exe.

Gr1pen · December 8, 2023, 1:53pm

I’m not familiar with Gigahorse. A different plotter I guess? Does it support ram plotting?

# Gigahorse GPU Plotter

Gigahorse is a madMAx GPU plotter for compressed k32 plots either fully in RAM with 256G, partially in RAM with 128G or via disk mode.

Other K sizes are supported as well, such as k29 - k34, in theory any K size (if compiled for it).
RAM requirements scale with K size, so k33 needs 512G, k30 only needs 64G, etc.

For k30+ at least 8 GB VRAM are required, use `-S 3` or `-S 2` to reduce VRAM usage (at the cost of performance). The minimum VRAM needed is 4 GB.

Supported GPUs are:

All GPUs for compute capability 5.2 (Maxwell 2.0), 6.0, 6.1 (Pascal), 7.0 (Volta), 7.5 (Turing) and 8.0, 8.6, 8.9 (Ampere).

Which includes: GTX 1000 series, GTX 1600 series, RTX 2000 series, RTX 3000 series and RTX 4000 series

When buying a new GPU, it's recommended to go for a Turing or newer.

You really want to be using a GPU, (Cuda) it’s so much quicker.
