Chia farming, plotting; array and unassigned devices

[sota]

not gonna disagree there.

if I had a container for each, and I could double network said containers so that the plot storage machines were segregated from main network traffic, I'd be on that idea.  best I can do right now though is the setup I have.

[sota]

I saw some random chatter about, setting up the forks to send rewards, not to the explicit wallet address, but a puzzle hash that somehow equates to the wallet, but without exposing the address so it's more secure.  I guess I should look into that.

This is a perfect case for dockers, I wish each blockchain had it's own docker.

Do the chia forks not have a docker image?

 

Should be able to build yourself based on dockerfile for chia (maybe an older one)

Ok, got

 

Flax

Spare

Chiagreen

Seno

Goji

hpool

 

running stable it appears.

 

You have done a lot more research then me, what order would you recommend adding new blockchains in from most stable / best possibility of being worth mining down the road.

Not that I have seen, a lot of them barely work with the regular program lol.

 

I am running windows right now and don't have the time to build dockers for each of them. If they all had dockers ready to go I would consider the time to swap to linux but as it is, it would take too much time.

Interesting, although the forks already have your key when you set them up, so seems like a waste of time to me?

 

I consider all the coins I am mining now compermised but since I don't really value them I am not that worried.

 

When I quit mining I plan to create clean wallets and transfer all the funds to the clean ones.

[TexasUnraid]

Off topic but thinking about making my first "crypto investment". So far I just mine on nicehash with my gaming PC's at night and an old vega 56 in my farming machine that I am debating mining vs selling. I have built up a few hundred worth of bitcoin doing that which is nice.

 

Thinking about converting ~$100 worth of it to ravencoin since it has a halving coming up at the end of the year and that generally leads to price spikes. Some are saying it could go as high as $1 but even if it went to 0.25 cents that is a 5x return at the current price. Figure it is worth risking $100 on it.

 

Do ya'll do any other crypto mining/trading?

honestly, I've just haphazardly started mine from the beginning.

Everything seems to be working, and my coin counts climb occasionally.

lol, I came to realize I have not won anything in like a week or 2 when checking yesterday.

 

Guess I will just start randomly adding new ones and see how it goes.

i'm assuming you're checking the logs for PPF activity?

Nope, never bothered to even learn where the logs are in windows. I check the GUI sometimes but as you can tell I don't exactly make it a habit lol.

 

For the last 2 weeks I have just been focused on getting it stable, should of done what I am doing now then.

[sota]

 

powershell...
watch everything: Get-content C:\users\chia\.chia\mainnet\log\debug.log -Tail 0 -Wait

just PPF and coin additions; append the following to above: | where { $_ -match "eligible|adding coin" }

 

[sota]

hey if you're running the Spare fork, can you post up a couple nodes? I had to restart, and it's not finding any.

[TexasUnraid]

 

It is one of the few I can get running.

 

Spare

Flax

Chiagreen

seno

avacado

hddcoin

taco

flora

greendoge

goji

 

Any others crash or will not sync.

[sota]

thanks.

in other news, I added covid and maize forks to my farms.

now up to 25 forks running

 

[TexasUnraid]

No idea how you are getting them all to play nice together. Are you adjusting any settings?

not really.

only universal change I'm making is..

    config.yaml
        log_level: INFO
        log_maxfilesrotation: 1000
        enable_upnp: false

just upgraded the memory in my 2 farm machines.

3x8GB 1x4GB chips.  oddly, the box didn't see the 4GB chip though, even though it's claiming all 4 slots are populated.

both machines are doing that.

[TexasUnraid]

Very strange a lot of them simply will not sync / not crash for me.

 

I have seen mixing different size memory on the same channel causing issues in the past.  I generally try to have each channel match itself.

[sota]

correction: now 26 forks

[sota]

*sigh* #27.

 

[TexasUnraid]

lol, you are more dedicated to me. I am debating quitting farming so that I can use the PCIE slot for another GPU. Just got myself a 6700xt yesterday and can't decide if I should sell my old card or use it for mining. I am out of slots on this machine though.

 

Interestingly, I uses about ~200W to run my drives for farming and is making ~$1-2/day or so.

 

GPU mining uses around ~125w and makes ~$1-2 a day.

[sota]

are your farmers on windows? or *nix.

Windows 10. Some of them don't support linux so decided to not bother with it. Plus using nicehash to mine on my old Vega 56 on this system and it is easiest on windows as well.
