Hi, great videos, thanks for the content on Chia. Would you know if there is any sensitive data located in the plot file that we should be guarding to avoid theft or hacking? I see there are a bunch of ID numbers at the top.

I currently plot them on a 1 TB WD Black NvME. 8 cores, 8 gb of memory. I have a delay of 170 minutes set and I plot to single disks. Every 3 hours a plot gets done.

Just reading this but a suggestion would be to run unraid with your drives so it makes one large drive and if you wanted to, you could have a parity backup so if something happens to a drive you have a chance to replace it without losing everything on a dead drive.

I'm reading that raid of any kind is not good for chia, as available space is what you need more than redundancy. So no wasting space on parity. But, I'm not sure how that compares to the case where you lose storage.

@@goodcitizen4587 so I read on thier site they talk about raid 0. Which has no parity with striping. The only other raid I can think of with parity and striping that acts like 0 is 5. I was able to set my test rig up running a 4 500gb hdds with raid 0 for most continuous space and most speed at the same time. Since you've been doing this longer can you comment on that, and also why raid of any kind is not good?

Chia Plotting and Farming (STEP BY STEP Setup Ubuntu)

If I have 2 TB SSD, 32 gb RAM and amd-ryzen-7-3700x how should I set up my plotting optimally, like how many threads, how much ram, how many plots in parallel?

Hi, thanks for the Video, great information! Would you pls explain the main advantage of using the setup shown in the video instead of, lets say a strong laptop where i put in a fast 2TB NVME Module for pltting, add an external Big Drive for storing the plots and then use the CHIA plotting software with a more simple UI. What is the big plus for using Ubuntu, Commands and so on... Im a beginner, getting started with everything, but cant find a proper answer to why the shown setup is the better choice. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have a question: If I have a 2tb USB stick and boot my PC with these USB stick, can I also mine with these USB stick or do I need an external HDD/SSD

The editing was REALLY GOOD and I am loving your updates!

Awesomely!! Let’s see !!

Hi, could you please reply? How many plots will be created after plotting ssd. In my case, i have been testing with 48 TB HDD and 1.8 TB SSD. After plotting it created only 6 plots for farming where it should create 465 plots, please reply how many plots it should start farming with 6 temp plots?

I need to look this video 10 times but now it works well thank you a lot❤️

I have 75tb free storage. Should make 1 plot of 75tb or divide the 75tb into smaller plots?

I can do all that with windows right? Way easier (for me) and have as many HDDs as possible? Does it need to be on RAID or something? All my HDDs needs to be recognized as 1?

No they don't ;)

instead of retyping the entire previous command after sudo, quickly type "sudo !!" (read as sudo bang bang), which will automatically execute the previous command but as sudo.

don't forget to sudo tune2fs /dev/yournonsystempartitions -m 0. especially the partitions you store the plots on. No need to reserve space to root on those ...

Just curious can you this on windows? If so it would seem easier to setup

Hi, great video! Do you need any driver for your raid card? Or do all the HDDs get recognized without any additional work?

Do you think we can use 192 gb RAM disk for temporary storage instead of ssd ? Or can we even use normal hdd for temporary storage ?…

Thank you for Sharing 👍🏽

I took the training wheels mostly off. I'm running Linux Mint Cinnamon, but I'm not running the chia GUI at all. I'm curious if once the plots are finished, do they start farming right away, or is there a command I need to run to get them to start farming?

I have to ask, what did you do to get the BIOS to recognize the HDD Disks and plotting disks? I notice on the build that for you it appears yet when I tested the same approach, the only thing recognized was the Kingston SSD.

After the flash is done Validating I keep getting an error "The disk you inserted was not readable by comp" how can i fix this?

More about plotting please. Different possibilities to speed up low budget CPU’s. I bought Samsung T5 2TB drive to use as my “faster” temp file drive. Will that knock off plotting time? I am currently at around 9 hours 35 min per plot with a core i3, 16gb ram, and a dw 16TB external drive. Thanks for vids. U can’t make them fast enough for me lol.

Hey, I had to stop the application Because during plotting I was getting some kind of errors. At this time, I had 5 fully plotted blocks which already got transferred to my final destination. So I did a restart of the pc and I opened the application then I saw that I still had my existing 5 plots in my finally destination. But then I saw there are some data's in my temp storage (NVME) drive so I thought I will format that and do a fresh plotting to get the max storage. So when i formatted the temp drive and When I my re opened the chia application i see That I lost my link to the plots. It's no more telling that I have 5 plots found but it shows the link to my plots. But It's not getting recognized in the chia software. Can anyone please guide how to fix this. See below for the issue

First and foremost, Thank you for taking the time to help us all get started with Chia. I just built a rig, followed your setup instructions, tweaked for my purposes and have started plotting as of about 30 minutes ago. I do have a coup[le of observations as well as questions. In your plot.sh file, I see that you set it to -r 8 which as you had stated is 8 threads. If you are running 8 plots in parallel and your CPU is a 8 core 16 thread CPU, then shouldn't that number be -r 2? I also realized that I set to low of a value for my -n setting in my plot.sh. - How do I fix this? I know that I can update the file, but do I need to stop and start the process if I do or will it just take affect as soon as I save the new config file? - What happens if there is a power flicker/failure? Do I need to delete the in progress plot files and restart? - Where should I be asking questions along these lines so that you are not bombarded?

the only drive that my BIOS recognizes is the sanddisk flash drive :/

Hi I want just to ask you why you haven’t used windows?

Hi! Does the plotting stop between every plot before start a new one, or does it just delay the 1st round? Ie. if chia1 sleep 0h, chia2 sleep 1h, after chia2 is ready, does it start immediately the next one?

I am having issue with my final location for the plots after 100% they freeze and the plots are saved as an temperory file in the final directory loaction. How do I change this I face this issue for each and every plot

Hey! Can anyone please help me with plotting? I have a ryzen 7 3800x and 32gb ram also a 2tb nvme ssd. I am plotting from the chia software around 7 in parallel with 80mins delay. But it is taking too long to plot. Like it's been 18 hours already and my 1st plot is still at 80 percent.

Im using 2x SSD m.2 2tb each and one of them always stuck with error arround 31% ( with 5 pararels ), plus this both cards need about 12,5 hour for done 1 plot... You know maybe why the are so low? maybe I should connect them to the PCI port instead of the m.2 on the motherboard? please help :(
