Found 0 proofs!?!

e8s · May 7, 2021, 6:51am

I have 15 k32 plots with expected time to win: 1 year (why does it keep going up?!) so maybe this shouldn’t come as a surprise but I thought that each plot was supposed to find proofs and then the best proof was supposed to create the new block. Is something wrong with my farming setup if it’s always ‘Found 0 proofs’? Does my wallet need to finish syncing before I can farm successfully (it seems like syncing the wallet is going to take forever… currently only at height 10480)? I thought a local wallet instance wasn’t needed for farming.

Your log looks fine, assuming you are only showing challenges where one plot passed the filter. Your Time: parameter is a bit slow, but as long as it’s under 10 seconds it’ll work. Just make sure it doesn’t go higher.

If you find a proof, you’ll most likely win a 2XCH reward. “Found 0 proofs.” is normal, even for people with over 10,000 plots. It will only show “Found 1 proof” if you find a proof that is smaller than a threshold based on the difficulty level, which is growing every day as the netspace grows.

Dan · May 7, 2021, 7:02am

Also it doesn’t matter that your wallet isn’t synced yet. You’re farming. That’s all you need to do to have a chance at winning XCH.

freeze · May 7, 2021, 8:33am

The wallet doesn’t need to be synced, but the node does.

Expected time to win keeps going up because other people are plotting too and the estimate doesn’t (and can’t) take that into account. It’s also not a progress indicator - you could win in 5 minutes or 5 years from now or never - it’s just a statistical average.

Thanks for your answers! I guess there’s nothing to be worried about…

e8s · May 8, 2021, 10:08pm

Is it also normal that there are many lines for a single attempt, e.g. farming db09dea5e1?

Dan · May 9, 2021, 12:21pm

Yes, this is also normal.

Hello,
From my Log file, I dont see :

harvester chia.harvester.harvester: INFO     1 plots were eligible for farming d4bf7278d4... Found 0 proofs. Time: 2.23398 s. Total 15 plots

Someone can explain why ?

Thak you in advance

cultiv · May 10, 2021, 3:11pm

In the chia config.yaml file you can update the logging from DEBUG to INFO to get this additional logging.

BiggyVince · May 10, 2021, 5:50pm

Yes I did it…
And I see all INFO row…
But there are no “plots were eligible for farming d4bf7278d4… Found 0 proofs.”

Its Normal?
Can you understand why this error and why disconnetted and reconneting all the time?

Thank you

In that case you didn’t win the lottery those times. It’s normal and will be like that for weeks/months.

I don’t know, what did you find in a search?

You think that my log is correct?
Or there are something strange?

for example:

 harvester_server        : INFO     Connection closed: 127.0.0.1, node id: 5800b7c4469b6c0cce346af270106dea18bd19fc5c683a15edc0e03cc8fd7560

I really don’t know. Search is your friend and let us know what you find there!

Hi @e8s

How to see the log like that ? I changed level log to INFO, but no have any “proofs” and “time” word in debug log file.

Please help

In Linux CLI you can use the command grep proofs .chia/mainnet/log/debug.log

e8s · May 13, 2021, 1:02pm

If there aren’t any, you probably aren’t actually farming. The most likely reason is that the full node is not finished syncing. If you are using the CLI, try running chia farm summary, which should confirm whether your farmer is active. I assume that this information is easy to find in the GUI but I don’t know where.

Andry · May 14, 2021, 2:18pm

And this is normal?

huseyincoskn · May 14, 2021, 3:03pm

how can we look to the this screen?

casualChia · May 14, 2021, 3:39pm

The peer disconnect messages are not normal. Is this a plain default setup using the default config file? If so, my first diagnostic step would be to try increasing the log level. I’m not sure what the next level after info is but debug or trace would be my first guesses. Maybe someone else will know. If you are not running the default config (maybe you have a distributed system) I’d double check the configuration first.

The problem is solved. The computer was 100% charged and crashed. Restart decided everything. Thanks for your attention.
