Title: Chia creation plots
Post by: devil2man on September 14, 2021, 07:26:52 PM
i am creating my first plots on chia but it has been going on for about 10 hours already, is there a way to speed it up? change any settings before starting? more core / threat or more ram? I'm already doing the temporary on ssd and plots on hard disk

Yes, the old way of plotting was put to bed a few months ago. Take a look at MadMax it can cut your plotting time down to around an hour or less depending on your system's specs.  You can find the Github below and there is a ton of documentation there to assist in getting it set up quickly. I used it when I need to replot all my old plots to join a pool and it was amazing how fast it was complete.

I did not know about the existence of this method / script madmax it seems to me that it really saves a lot of time, yesterday after 12 hours of waiting the plot was not finished yet and i turned off the computer so a lot of time and resources wasted, i will try with madmax thanks for the information

No worries it really cut down on time but it caused the network to explode as everyone was able to plot in well under 1 hour. Especially when pool plotting was released MadMax was released about the same time. If it was not it would have taken large farms a very long time to replot everything to get the correct plots to be able to pool. Instead, they were able to accomplish this in days.
