Hello, fast presentation I am new in this plotting. I come from france. Was mining in 2012 to 2015 with a lot of GPU
So I came here because I want to test this CHIA. I like to build RIG and this look amazing !
Sorry for my english
I am here to ask you what is the config to star, I am lost if i need to start with SSD or HDD
I found some HDD X18TB SEAGATE EXOS is this good? if I start with 4 will be ok?
What base I need ? CPU, MB, RAM? IF i run a plot only with HDD is it good or need I some SSD too ?
Is it possible to run HDD and SSD together?
The software on Win is ok or should i go on Ubuntu?
Windows is OK, all you need is fast NVME drive for plotting (creating the plot files) and large USB attached hard drive for farming (copy plot files to farm drive). Then you install the Windows GUI and … have at it. It’s really that simple! More plots = more lottery tickets = more chances to win.
So i start to get it
I need the NVME to build the plot then i move it to the HDD to farm
so the more NVME I have the more I can build in a day then put it to the HDD to farm
so it’s look like we don’t care if about the space on the HDD only for the consumption because one big HDD will consumpt less than 10 HDD
So the NVME size depend on how much plot i want to creat in one time? and depend on what size I took for example KS=32 …
You don’t need an NVME drive, but it’s much faster to plot since plotting is an IO intensive process.
Yes, best practice is to parallelize the plotting. Either by staggering plots on the same drive, or by using several drives (or a combination of the two )
Farming can be done on pretty much any hard drive, as long as you have the space. It’s not really an IO intensive process.
Yes, you have to be careful about the space available on the NVME, knowing that a k32 plot takes about 100GiB and needs about 250GiB of temporary space.
Both the GUI and the CLI can do the transfer for you. When you create a plot you specify the destination (aka. farming) folder. It will automatically copy the .plot file for you.
You can also manually copy the .plot files however you want.
Thanks for reply I bought the stuff to do it waiting my package.
I still have a question I build my setup on one desktop togeter but when my hard will be full and if i want more plotting when i plote to an other machine i need to start the GUI and only farming right? with same wallet ?
