Swar and gui together operational?

[fredcolle]

Hi there,

i have two computers on different locations plotting en farming chia.

With the help of this forum I managed to setup swar.

What i did not figure out so far:

• do i need to start the GUI also?
• if not, is besides plotting also farming activated with swar
• do the active plotting jobs as reported by swar to reflected in the GUI?

Who can elobarate a bit about this?

@fredcolle

No, the GUI does not have to be running for Swar’s to create plots. It fires the chia.exe in the background to produce plots.

@fredcolle

if not, is besides plotting also farming activated with swar

Swar’s is a plotter. It does not farm. If you want the same system to run plots with Swar’s and farm, the GUI will need to be running or you know how to run farming in the CLI.

@fredcolle

do the active plotting jobs as reported by swar to reflected in the GUI?

I don’t think the active plots running in Swar’s show in the GUI. But I have never tested this.
