Hi, does anyone know why the new 1.8 still doesn’t seem to support compressed plots, though some of the 1.7 dev versions do?
In January (3 months ago), the Chia team proudly announces:
" Q: When will it be released?
A: Bladebit Diskplot and Ramplot with support for compressed plotting are feature complete and undergoing internal testing. The Chia client support with farming the compressed plots is being actively finished, and we will release the entire package with cross-platform and OS support into the beta program when it is feature complete."
I’m surprised to see that 1.8 still doesn’t seem to support this, or am I wrong?
thanks for that, I was still using the 1.7 alpha build… now eagerly waiting for GPU harvesting as my lookup times are falling behind despite a strong CPU…
Well they had things working no? Nobody ever said they would have GPU farming available in January. They are pretty close releasing GPU farming seeing the current Github activity though.
I didn’t refer to GPU farming, even CPU farming for compressed plots would have been o.k. for the bulk of the users I would assume (at least as an option…). If you run your farm on a Pi then that might not work but for others it could… anyway, I think we’re nearly there…
