thank you i’ll try, but one question, once the plot won, it’ll disappear or just stay and continue to farm?
It won’t disappear unless you manually delete it 
There’s nothing preventing it from winning again so it’s best to keep it.
462 plots now & accelerating… Have gotten to 5 days expected win time, then back to 6, then 5, then 6 again. No wins yet.

i did the check on power shell, and everything seems okay to me, no warning, no error, just info, and the ratio is about 1.0 ( some get lower but some get higher) , so i have nothing to worry, right?

, and manually transferring plots to it with external drives, so a bit of a delay in farming my actual number of plots. Hoping my luck changes soon:
Would you mind telling me why the “above 1” is good? Particularly I am still learning.
That is just finding lines in the log file where at least 1 plot passed the plot check filter, since if 0 plots passed the filter, it doesn’t really have to do any (or as much?) reads on the passed plots in an attempt to find a proof.
It’s generally why if there are timing issues (either due to disk io or network issues), “0 plots were eligible for farming” lines will still have times fairly quick (< 1 second) and only lines where at least 1 plot passed the filter will have longer times.
Are you checking your logs? I would be concerned about setup.
Thanks for stepping in Andrew.
I might add:
When I run chia plots check the command will try 1) check if the plot is fine, 2) to find proof matches in a default number of 30 challenges .
ex: Proofs 41 / 30, 1.3667
This indicates that in 30 challenges, it found 41 proofs so it’s a good plot.
If it’s ex: Proofs 18 / 30, 0.6
Then this plot has less chances of getting the jackpot.
Of course we are talking about 0.0000…% probabilities here so I wouldn’t worry too much until you have all your storage full.
After that, you might want to review those low ratio plots and replace them with better ones if you want. At least that is my plan.
Feel free to correct me if I got this wrong.
Cheers!

Oh yeah, I am monitoring all of the logs, in debug mode, keeping an eye on response times, warnings, and errors… Just added another 40 plots over the last 24 hours. I am considering switching my farm station from Windows to a different machine with ubuntu, maybe this weekend.

Haven’t won a plot since April 20th, that’s over 2 weeks now. The statistical likelihood of this is getting thin… I’ve checked everything though, harvester times are also under 2 seconds for the 1350+ plots.

Oh wow that is a bit wild. At least you were able to rack up 70 coins ahead of the stalling!
Well: 1445 plots, 0 XCH.
Who can beat that?
I think I can exit this chat now, it just took 650 plots and 15 days for a block reward. Good to validate my setup actually works now

Oh boy, have you validated you’re not having issues elsewhere? statistically that’s a scary situation
I wish I could give out more hearts! congrats!
