Multi-threaded pipelined Chia k32 plotter
This is a new implementation of a chia plotter which is designed as a processing pipeline, similar to how GPUs work, only the “cores” are normal software CPU threads. As a result this plotter is able to fully max out any storage device’s bandwidth, simply by increasing the number of “cores”, ie. threads.

$ ./make_devel.sh
This command will produce a lot of output while compiling. In the end, you should get a message indicating the compile was successful:
[. ]
[ 99%] Built target bls
[100%] Built target chia_plot
Try to call the program and get the usage help information:
$ ./build/chia_plot —help
If you can see the following line in the output, you have successfully built the chia-plotter version compatible with pool plots:
-c, —contract arg Pool Contract Address (64 chars)
- Getting your keys and jumping in the pool
$ chia plotnft create -s local
It can take a little while until the transaction is confirmed. Once it is, execute:
$ chia plotnft show
Find the P2 singletom address (pool contract address) and save it for later — it should look something like this:
P2 singleton address (pool contract address for plotting): xch1[. ]err
The other required key is the «Farmer public key». Execute the following statement to get it:
$ chia keys show
Note the Farmer public key and save it for later. Ignore the «Pool public key»! «It is not the droid you’re looking for.»
- Time to PLOT!
You can create a RAMdisk by using:
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/ramdisk $ sudo mount -t tmpfs -o rw,size=110G tmpfs /mnt/ramdisk
This is only temporary, so if you want the RAMdisk to be available after reboots, you have to modify your /etc/fstab file and add the lines.
Note: The RAMdisk is absolutely optional! But having two temp directories is not. While they can be on the same device, it is strongly recommended to use two different devices on a fast controller with high I/O available.
$ cd /home/plotter/chia-plotter/build $ ./chia_plot -n 1 -r 16 —tmpdir /mnt/temp1/ —tmpdir2 /mnt/temp2/ —finaldir /mnt/final/farm/ -c xch1[. ]err -f b9012[. ]649b
The plotting should be in progress now. Depending on your setup, this may take from 30 minutes to several hours or even longer (when plotting on HDDs). Be patient until the process is done and the plot has been moved to it’s final destination.
- -n, —count arg — Number of plots to create (default = 1, -1 = infinite)
- -r, —threads arg — Number of CPU threads, please keep in mind, that Windows also requires some threads! (default = 4)
- -t, —tmpdir arg — Temporary directory (recommended to use a directory on the SSD) minimum required free space:

Привет. Ктото пытался делать плоттинг Блейбит РАМ плот? Появилась возможность попробовать а он висит на нуле уже час. В логах только начальный конфиг, никаких действий как буд.
