Has anyone mined a block with a plot created with this? (This is NOT a FUD post)

[number435398]

I'm just looking for the most basic confirmation that this works to the end. This is NOT a FUD post. I am greatly appreciative of what maxMAx43v3r has done and made available to us. But, the most complicated things can have the most minor incompatibilities and errors that may only show themselves at the very end of a given process. Has anyone actually mined a block with a plot created by this plotter? I've been inspired to spend literally thousands of dollars under the premise that this plotter works and I have not had a single plot successfully mine a single XCH yet. Maybe I'm just looking for a little encouragement.

I have not. I've only run the 'chia plots check' and received confirmation that they pass the validation tests. I only have 345 plots though.

[wabragg]

Agreed ... lucky. I was not expecting to wake up to 2 Chia this morning. The farm summary tells me my average should be a block every 6 months and 2 weeks. I ditched the JBOD on my second go for individual volumes. And truth be told, my JBOD failure was me pulling the wrong drive out of my NAS when working on something else.

root@Scylla:# docker exec -it Chia venv/bin/chia farm summary

I'm farming over on a Synology NAS using a Docker image. The plots were generated on my workstation however.

[number435398]

My farming is a mess. I have 3 different computers farming, all saying they have like 3-4 months to win. Word of caution: Raspberry Pi 4 B can't handle more than 32 USB devices minus hubs minus ports on the back of the unit, minus (I think) the ethernet port and possibly a few other things. Absolutely terrible for Chia mining.

[wabragg]

Should that actually be setup as a single Farm node talking to 3 Harvester nodes? I have no idea how one would do that but that's how I understand it from the documents I've seen.

I'm still trying to figure out why the Farm node runs 8 "Full_Node" processes and takes up so much memory. I think they've still got a lot of work to do on the software.

[number435398]

My oddities of my setup will be resolved when I get some additional parts to consolidate everything into one computer.

They certainly pass partial proofs. On official pool protocol, all the plots have been with madmax. Pool is recognizing the entire plot count and no invalid partials have been found. That is as real world as it gets to verify this works

[alexwwstx]

I have around 1500 plots, and got nothing yet, I checked them by 'chia plots check' and looks like all are fine, just need more patience since the current netspace is so big and difficulty is 2200+ now?

[racergoodwin]

Looking for some confirmation myself, same OP.
At the moment madMAx43v3r hasn't won anything for me. I have currently 2262 madMAx43v3r plots and increasing by 100 per day with lots of passed filters, but no XCH farmed.
I am comparing against 1647 plots from the chia plotter which passes less filters, but have won 3 times (6 XCH)
Obviously luck and time play a major role, so there is still hope :)

Hi
Re-plotting to NFT now and already joined the pool - it accepts the MaMa43 :) shares

What pool did you join?

[ESP4Ever]

Can't tell because it can be treated as an ad

That's, wait, wtf? By who? I joined a pool and, unless the UI is bugged, it seemed to indicate no one was there. Which I guess could also be true.

[ESP4Ever]

The pool I joined has already >20k farmers and the pool space almost 120 PiB

[number435398]

I just found a block, but I can't figure out how to see which plot made it.

[wabragg]

Go into the config file "mainnet/config/config.yaml" and update the "log_level" setting to "INFO". Right now you're probably only logging errors and warnings.

[number435398]

So I take it there's no feasible way to go back and find out which plot was used for my mined block since I didn't have that on?

[number435398]

Just had another block solve. So I went through and did all that and I could find no useful information in the log file to help me determine which plot found the block. Am I just failing to make sense of the jargon? Have you actually been able to definitively tell which plot found a block before?

[wabragg]

My logs have rolled since I found a solution. I believe it was in a harvester log record though.

[number435398]

I found a reference to it in the logs (with the 'INFO' Setting) and though it appeared to be a lot of information, it didn't appear to direct me to a specific plot/plot file.

[jayhohoho2019]

Is there any CLI command that shows the # of plotnft plots (in the pool)? I understand the GUI Pool tab shows it.

I have no plotnfts but I suspect it would be shown by the 'chia farm summary' command.

[alexwwstx]

cannot distinguish which ones are for nft for version 1.2.1

[gryan315]

This is an old post, but thought I'd chime in that I found a block with a madmax plot. I used a command to pull the plot filename using the plot public key found in the blockchain explorer:

curl --insecure --cert ~/.chia/mainnet/config/ssl/harvester/private_harvester.crt --key ~/.chia/mainnet/config/ssl/harvester/private_harvester.key -d '{}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://localhost:8560/get_plots | python3 -m json.tool | egrep "{|filename|plot_public_key" | fgrep -C 2 "<plot_public_key goes here>"

This returns the plot filename after it as well, and I was too lazy to tune it to not do that since it works. The plot happened to be one that I created just a couple days before the official pool protocol launched.

[number435398]

I should admit that since posting this, I have found several blocks, presumably with plots from this plotter. I didn't go through the ridiculously arduous process of confirming it, but considering such a large portion of my plots are from the madmax plotter, it's not reasonable to assume that they came from the plots I plotted before I found this wondrous plotter. Statistically, I can confirm that I, too, have successfully found multiple blocks.

I found a block with 6 TiB of NFT plots on SpacePool. Lol.

[silence48]

I found one with it about 3 days after i started plotting to the pool. meanwhile i have 2k solo plots that haven't got a block in a month and a half lol.

[svennand]

Yes. Found a block (mining pool) with my 100TB 850isj NFT plots made with madmax plotter :) after 22 days of mining

[MatejBajzeljGreyMatters]

Same. Got 3 blocks so far (1.3PB) with plots created by MadMax. This are Pool NFT plots.
