Topic: CHIA-NET UPDATE: How to PLOT Chia & Earn XCH without going insane. (Read 61 times)

1.) Fall back to the last working plotter chia-pos 1.3, all the software since then is broken

2.) Use linux, and cmd-line only

3.) Don't use any gui tools

4.) don't use any plot managers like 'plotman' they'll kill all your hard work, and reset you to scratch

5.) develop monitors for all NVME iostat, nvme, htop are your friends

6.) never try to run more than 4x plots in parallel on one NVME drive, the controller can't handle it

7.) Watch for the infamous 'mis-match' error in the chai-log for each 'chia create plot' instance, once you get that message, it means that NVME has been destroyed

8.) Watch 'sudo nvme smart-log /dev/nvmeNNN', watch TEMP of controller and 'controller busy count' if either go astro, then kill that plot process before it kills your NVME

I see now that chia-pos is saying they have a new 'killer version' ( 14), since about 1.0 of chia-plot, 'making it faster' has really meant killing NVME's more often, the plot speed is always going to be 6-8 hours, its always best NOT TO KILL YOUR HW. CHIA-DEV doesn't care about you, they only care about the CHIA IPO.

The GUI is unstable, the blockchain code is now terminal, nobody on earth can get chia-net to sync, and if you do, its doesn't stay sync'd for long.

The only thing useful is to use old pre 1.3 plotting software and make plots and then mine on HPOOL.com and make some money today.

Once chia gets the blockchain stable and sync'd ( this could take months, if ever ), then we will see. My fear for now is that the newer plotter software is designed to make it impossible to earn money on HPOOL, so there is a war, don't get involved, hold back to a working version, where the plots are supported in both worlds.

DEV is saying that when their plotting protocol is done, we must destroy all our plots and start over, the chinese now own chia by 70%, they'll not tolerate this bullshit coming from dev. The CHINESE IOU's made the price go to $1600usd, and keep it there, once the chia-dev team trys to screw china out  of its hard-work, then chia will implode.

IMHO the future is this, people  (US USERS) will clone chia fix the bugs, as its clear this team has no software management experience at delivering a software product to a commercial market. Sure they're all great influencers and marketing guys, but they have never developed software in a real software company.

Chia is a good idea, its too bad that a weak management team destroyed it. It's not the first proof-of-space coin, there will be others, we all can see the problems, so now lets fix them.

Sure BRAM created bit-torrent yaba-yaba, but it took 5+ years to get it rock solid, and he was probably long gone the people that made it rock solid were more than likely dev's in the wild improving open-source.

...

I cannot stress enough, why plot chia if you can't earn XCH? To do this you must use HPOOL.COM, they have a plotter, and a miner, I only use their miner, its rock solid, and they do updates weekly; I don't know about their plotter I don't use it, I don't have to give them my keys, I just sign a their generated public-key, and it proves I own my plots. Right now you can earn a chia every two months, with every 200 plots. If you do as your told and 'solo mine' you will earn ZERO, and then be told to delete your plots once the pool is blessed by god-chia. They're even saying your must POS to join their pool, this of course is all 100% bullshit.


HPOOL.COM is fair & honest company; the guy is western educated and speaks fluent english; its just a normal pool just like ethermine.org, or superpool.io; These guys have years of experience, the chia-team don't know shit about mining-pools, they'll never deliver anything but bugs.

Lastly the question why have for months the talking heads on youtube dissed HPOOL.COM, these are old paid influencers, by you know who. Why the lies? About private-keys, about stealing, about not trusting china? Why?

Why do they do nothing about destroying our NVME drives, why do they not care? ( chia plotting kills my brand new samsung evo 980's at 25% of warranty TBW, that's every two weeks DOA )

Why is chia-dev sw management so blatantly incompetent?
