Your current code seems to increase the HDD usage for finding proofs by 64x. Why are you doing this?

Hi,

It was an initial setting to get the genesis block and the system running. I had to tweak the time-lord along the way too. Now that it has been stable I hope to reduce the number of plots passing filter going forward which will reduce the usage drastically.

thank you for pointing this out, it is on my list of things to do asap.

Hi,

are you still maintaining this fork? The issue highlighted by rwarren is making this fork unusable for "bigger" farms. I have to exclude plot directories/limit the total amount of plots, otherwise I am exceeding the 30 seconds constantly.

Cheers,

Hi,
Thank you for your support and feedback guys.
I think it is related to the number of plots passing filter. Last time I tinkered with this value in consensus earlier in Sept which somehow broke the chain. Also, I would like the smaller guys be able to farm, unlike Chia, but there should be a balance.
I have let the chain remain as is for the time being, just watching how the overall Chia space and crypto in general develops.
Having said that, if you know how, I'd be more that happy to accommodate!
Been pretty busy with other stuff too!
Best Regards
Gowke

Thanks for your reply. I'll stick then to this chain with a smaller amount of plots.

Cheers,
