Plotter

• Chia Plotting Basics
  • Alternative Plotters
    • madMAx
      • The recommended configuration to start at is to set -r to the number of physical CPU cores in the system. The DRAM is set automatically determined by core count and bucket size, with less DRAM being used with larger buckets. The default of 256 is generally recommended for NVMe SSDs, although people can try different combinations to obtain the best plotting speeds.
    • Bladebit
      • Bladebit is a high-performance, RAM-only, k32-only plotter. It has high memory requirements: at least 416 GiB of RAM is required. Typically it is meant for high-end plotting setups. Bladebit is now an official part of Chia and it has been used successfully to produce petabytes worth of plots.
  • New plotters that use DRAM to reduce or eliminate SSD writes
    • madMAx
      • The madMAx plotter has been very popular, and 128GB of DRAM can reduce the writes to the SSD by 75%, while 256GB can eliminate it.
    • Bladebit
      • by Harold Brenes, is a complete rewrite of the Chia plotting software to perform the entire plot creation process in memory only.

Principle

• Chia - FAQ

  • How does Proof of Space and Proof of Time work?

    • When the blockchain broadcasts a challenge for the next block, farmers can scan their plots to see if they have the hash that is closest to the challenge. A farmer’s probability of winning a block is the percentage of the total space that a farmer has compared to the entire network.

  • The Keys to Winning Chia Challenges

    • The Chia network regularly issues matching challenges and quality checks. The quality checks are important to succeed at, but the challenges—where one of every 512 plots is challenged every 10 minutes—are why you’re farming.

Reliability

• The Chia Network Blockchain

  • A 51% adversary can make sure 100% of the blocks in the longest chain are his (and thus get all the rewards) by simply ignoring all blocks generated by other miners, this way generating a block every 10 minutes in expectation.
