Compressed plots with Chia not yet available, right?

[chiasuperfarmer]

Hi there, I’ve been seeing conflicting messages around the ability to create the “new” compressed Chia plots. Not talking about Madmax’ proprietary plots for MMX here.

Is there any software - even if in alpha stage - that can create these plots yet? I’d love to start plotting these as I have some extra HDDs…

A follow-up question: is the GPU benefit for the farming process or for the plotting?

Thanks guys (and girls). Happy Easter!

Bladebit GPU plotter - beta

I thought I’d make this topic, since we where getting the Gigahorse topic fouled up a bit What are you using to farm these plots from Bladebit_cuda? That link only has Linux files. @drhicom yes all alpha/beta still. Farmer is being tested now in the beta program plotter: https://downloads.chia.net/bladebit/alpha3 farmer: https://download.chia.net/dev/ChiaSetup-1.7.1rc3-dev47-c2860ee0.exe So just to be clear, these are not release version, just builds for testing purposes. …

that’s the latest alpha’s

Thanks, did you test it? Or did anybody? Just curious, is creating plots now faster with a GPU or is this just for the farming?

they only have GPU plotting (compressed and uncompressed).
Only CPU farming with compressed plots atm (in alpha)
First alpha for GPU farming will appear next week.

@chiasuperfarmer

is creating plots now faster with a GPU

much faster I get plots in less than 5 minutes with a 1070ti and 256GB ram
(atm 8GB vram + 256GB ram is required for the alpha’s)

will any of these compressed plots not require a large amount of ram. Also, I downloaded it, but don’t know where to go fromt here. I open the exe and it just closes

I you read further along in that topic, the commands are there.

it’s CLI only
