Hi all, as an update on the future of Machinaris, I want to set everyone's expectations for CNI group's plans for Chia's new plot format. Machinaris is essentially a bundling of various tools and forks that sprouted up around Chia when it first appeared years ago. With the loss of interest in Chia, all those related tools have been dropped by their authors. As well, my own interest in the Chia ecosystem has waned considerably, so I simply don't want to invest a lot of upcoming time in trying to patch all the various old tools (plotman, chiadog, madmax, gigahorse, bladebit, etc...) that will inevitably break/change when CNI's new plot format finally drops. I think this will likely mean the end of this project. For those that want to continue running Machinaris against the current format plots, using Chia 2.5.X, that should be possible until CNI releases an urgent security fix or some other backwards-incompatible change. Thanks everyone for the support over the years, it's been fun.

Machinaris v2.3.0 now available. Future update notifications will be in this edited post at the start of the thread.

Version 2.2.1 of Machinaris is now available, for those that like to try the very latest Chia release from CNI corporate. Updated - Chia to v2.2.1 - possible fixes for serious problems in v2.2.0? Notes - Updated potentially buggy Chia software DOES NOT imply my endorsement. *Only upgrade when you are comfortable.*

Machinaris v2.2.0 is now available: Added - Support for Achi blockchain. Requires its own plots (like Chives), you'll have to plot separately if interested. Thanks @priyankub - Optionally launch Chia Data Layer services if env var `chia_data=true` is set. Changed - Harvester mode will now optionally also run chia-exporter for Prometheus results. Updated - Chia to v2.2.0 - misc improvements, see their release notes. - Cactus to v2.1.4. - Gigahorse to v2.1.4.giga26. - Wheat to v2.1.6 Notes - Support for new blockchains and tools DOES NOT imply my endorsement for them. Only run those you are comfortable with. UPDATE: CNI corporate retracted their v2.2.0 release due to nasty bugs in their database code. As such, I had to pull Machinaris v2.2.0 until they get their issues sorted out.

Machinaris version 2.1.4 is now available. Added - Optionally launch `chia-exporter` [metrics endpoint](https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-exporter) for Prometheus reporting if env var `chia_exporter=true` is set. - Support for running Gigahorse containers on arm64 architectures such as Raspberry Pi. - Main dashboard page can now be pinned (Pin Icon) to display only a blockchain of interest, rather than rotating through each in turn. Changed - Optionally launch of Gigahorse recompute server when in harvester mode if env var `gigahorse_recompute_server=true` is set. - Fix for Bladebit GPU plotting jobs taking a minute to display on Plotting page on job start. Should now be seconds only. Updated - [Chia](https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain/releases/tag/2.1.4) to v2.1.4 - misc improvements, see their release notes. - [Gigahorse](https://github.com/madMAx43v3r/chia-gigahorse/releases/tag/v2.1.3.giga26) to v2.1.3.giga26.

Good point. Yes, I run at 10 to minimize memory usage for synced blockchains. Details on the wiki.

Version 2.1.3 now available that addresses the unfortunate bug CNI released in v2.1.2. Details at: https://github.com/guydavis/machinaris/releases/tag/2.1.3

Version 2.1.2 now available. ### Added - Settings | Plotting | Bladebit now supports "no_direct_io: true" option - Settings | Plotting | Bladebit now supports "check_plots: 100" option to check at end of plot creation - Settings | Plotting | Bladebit now supports "check_threshold: 0.6" option to delete invalid plots at end of plot creation ### Changed - Support for Gigahorse Recompute Server (single GPU on fullnode/farmer), shared by multiple Gigahorse harvesters. ### Updated - Chia to v2.1.2 - misc improvements, see their release notes. - Gigahorse to v2.1.1.giga25 with C20 compression support. - Flask to v3.0.0 - serves up the Machinaris WebUI. ### Notes - Regression in Chia binaries (since v2.0.0) ignoring the "-y" parameter on plotnft changes, has broken pool join/leave thru WebUI.

Go into the shell of the `machinaris` Chia fullnode container and delete file: /root/.chia/machinaris/config/cold_wallet_addresses.json Then add your address back, just for the Chia row, using the Machinaris WebUI's wallets page.

Due to a regression in the Chia binaries provided by CNI, they no longer honor the "-y" flag allowing the commandline to be run by the WebUI. You'll need to run the "chia plotnft create" command (see log for exact parameters) yourself within the shell of the container as you will be prompted for a manual confirmation. Sorry for the trouble this defect from the CNI group has caused.

All I can suggest is a reset of the Chial blockchain config to get back to a default state. This assumes you have already installed the Nvidia plugin for Unraid.

Yes, there is an unfortunate regression in the Chia command-line binaries that breaks automation. CNI ("Chia Network Inc." may fix it one day). Workaround is to issue the `chia plotnft ... ` commands from within the container's shell.

Good question. I have now documented the removal of old/stale/unwanted workers.

Machinaris v2.1.0 now available: https://github.com/guydavis/machinaris/releases/tag/2.1.0 Bladebit to v3.1.0 - Supporting hybrid GPU/disk plotting with either 128 GB or 16 GB RAM. Chia to v2.1.0 - misc improvements, see their release notes.

Reading CNI release notes from their betas, it seems they recommend generate a brand-new config.yaml to add all their new settings. So try this procedure to reset your Chia config.
