Yes, CHIP-22 based official protocol, but that’s actually only needed for GH.
Community node means a shared node, anyone can run one, but usually it’s the pool operators yes.

Sorry, I am confused again. If that is needed for GH, then where again FastFarmer fits there? Isn’t FastFarmer also supporting Chip 22? So, is FastFarmer including GH harvester, or does it stand next to it?
Really, some pictures would be really appreciated.

I mean GH fast farmer. There is the normal fast farmer for uncompressed and bladebit plots, and then there’s the GH fast farmer that also supports GH plots (and uses GH for BB plots).
If you use GH fast farmer you only have official node + GH fast farmer. Same as official node + normal fast farmer.

Could you add GH FF binaries to your chia-gigahorse github page as another sub-project?
By the way, the github page for GH FF at this moment looks like some alpha version, and potentially a malware. There is nothing there that would bind that binary to you / GH, except the name. The info is rather abysmal at best.
Actually, I saw that page few days ago, and decided that it is not worth to download due to security reasons.

Why NTFS on LINUX rather than EXT4?
NTFS is not a native format, and there ARE Linux tools that don’t support or work with it.

I miss the time when GH had FlexFarmer to work with.
I HATE having to run a full node, have everything try to connect to it, and all the other work involved.
It’s irritating that Chia has only ever had 2 pools that did NOT require you to run a full node (perhaps 3?) when every other cryptocoin I have worked with DID NOT have that requirement out of their pools and the pooling protocals DEFAULTED to “don’t need a full pool”, though if you SOLO mined you did.

Let’s wait for this new GH FastFarmer to get to production stage. It looks like a beefed up or bloated (including a full farmer module) GH Flex Farmer. Should be as simple to run as NoSSD or GH FlexFarmer. Most likely it will also support GH’s and chia’s (org and BB) plots. Lastly, it will also be able to connect to any pool that would expose RPC on a shared node.
As it will be able to connect to any pool, most likely, it will strengthen Space Pool, and potentially can be a final blow to smaller pools (if Space pool plays it right).

Those c31’s have all gone. Currently plotting c 30 and moving them to replace the remaining c19 plots.

That GPU chart looks much better now. There are no GPU cycle spillages, although there are a handful of close calls. So, that worked really well (together with that diff bump to 1k).
Those c19 are close to GPU resources wash with c30 (based on the GH table, c30 are a bit heavier, plus may require diff around 20k, what may not be working for a small farm - a single GPU), so I would still monitor that GPU chart as you are replotting. The linear plot count scaling only works as long as there is no spillage. The minute those spillages will start happening, my take is that all bets are off (due to high variation in the number of eligible plots to be processed per challenge). Sure, one here and there is not a big deal, especially as long as there are no triplets. As Max stated, a couple of triplets here and there is not a big deal, but I don’t agree with the assumption that scaling goes linear all the way up.
As mentioned before, my take is that there is still something wrong with your GPU setup. 3060 (no ti) should easily handle about 500-600 TB raw. As you are at about 350 TB raw your chart should look less stressed. Actually, you should be close to be able to run the whole farm with c31 plots (let’s say 80% c31, 20% c30 or something like that), and it doesn’t look like your current setup will be able to pull it off. I don’t know what to look for, though (a crap driver, or some weird issues with the PCIe bus, maybe some shit setting in the BIOS, some throttling on the GPU (reduced power or high temps), really no clue where to start).
By the way, nvtop shows the current GPU frequency and temp, maybe you could compare what you have with someone else who also have 3060. My 3060 ti is pushing 1.93 GHz and 66C during those peaks. It drops to 1.67 GHz when done with the current challenge. It also shows PCIe 3 at 8x being used. The VRAM runs at 6.8 GHz and is pinned at 3,692 MiB. No clue how that compares to a non ti 3060.

Thanks for the feedback. I’m not sure if anything is wrong, these are the proof of space results I got, which suggest at the 512 filter I could farm 654 TiB of c30 plots, or 335 TiB of c31. Surely if something was wrong these figures would be less. This was also with a diff of 10,000.

Adjust your fan speed…Whats it at now???

Maybe you need to re-paste it? I have an extra 120mm fan blowing at the back side (not sure if it helps the card, but I feel better).
Not sure how much this article is worth, but still you may want to read it - The Maximum and Safest Temperature Range for RTX 3060. It doesn’t say when temp throttling starts.

I’ll have a look tomorrow.
@Jacek it’s a relatively new card, but that doesn’t mean it’s got good thermal transfer, and it is quite tight in there. I’ll have a read of the article, if its getting hot now, it’s only going to get worse come summer and the filter change.

You’re being too cautious, anything below 20 sec partial time is totally fine. Need to measure stale partial rate, not cycle spillage.
Unless you want to prepare for plot filter 256, then yes, try to avoid spillage now 
But you’re better off lowering the power limit and saving energy than worry about spillage.
