Jump to: navigation, search

If you have already downloaded MadMax Plotter for Windows (if not, you can find the guide HERE)

You can make two types of plots:


  • old PLOT:

Start PowerShell (powershell.exe)
Enter the directory where MadMax Plotter resides - for example: cd C:\madmax
.\chia_plot.exe -p POOL_KEY_GOES_HERE -f FARMER_KEY_GOES_HERE -t DRIVE:\TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY -2 DRIVE:\TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY2 -n NUMBER_OF_PLOTS -r NUMBER_OF_CPU_THREADS -d DRIVE:\FINAL_DIRECTORY_OF_THE_PLOT


  • NFT PLOT:

Start PowerShell (powershell.exe)
Enter the directory where MadMax Plotter resides - for example: cd C:\madmax
.\chia_plot.exe -c CONTRACT_ADDRESS_GOES_HERE -f FARMER_KEY_GOES_HERE -t DRIVE:\TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY -2 DRIVE:\TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY2 -n NUMBER_OF_PLOTS -r NUMBER_OF_CPU_THREADS -d DRIVE:\FINAL_DIRECTORY_OF_THE_PLOT


IMPORTANT:

  • If possible, then please do not use folder names with spaces and special/Unicode/etc. characters in their names, because the plotter would not work.


Some extra help about the command line switches:

  • -n, --count arg - Number of plots to create (default = 1, -1 = infinite)
  • -r, --threads arg - Number of CPU threads, please keep in mind, that Windows also requires some threads! (default = 4)
  • -t, --tmpdir arg - Temporary directory (recommended to use a directory on the SSD) minimum required free space: ~220 GiB (default = current directory)
  • -d, --finaldir arg - Final directory, where the plot will be copied (default = tmpdir)
  • -p, --poolkey arg - Pool Public Key (48 bytes)
  • -f, --farmerkey arg - Farmer Public Key (48 bytes)
  • -c, --contract arg - Pool Contract Address (64 chars)
  • -K, --rmulti2 arg - Thread multiplier for P2 (default = 1)


In case if you don't know your Farmer and Pool keys, then HERE is the help for finding them.
