When I run “Chia Plots Check”, I noticed that my plots all have the same “Pool Key” and “Farmer Key” but they have a different “Private User Key”. Could I check if indeed each plot has its own unique key or should all the Private Keys be the same as my User Key?
If I were to set up a Full Node and a Harvester across two computers, must the Full Node always be kept Online and running for the Harvester to farm or can I just leave the Harvester on?
One question per topic please. The answer to #2 is yes in order to farm you need at least 1 farmer (full node).
That’s a good point about the PrivateKey being different for each plot in plots check! I never noticed that. Maybe that’s the unique key for the plot?
Like so:

You’re right, I’d expect the private key to be the same since I produced both of those plots – the Pool and Farmer key definitely are identical. Interesting! Maybe someone who knows more can chime in.
I don’t even know what “local sk” means there either…
