k32 plots with c7 compression have 33% of stale particles

[oktyabrenok]

Hi, I have a PC Win10pro x64 | intel i7 6700 (4/8) | ddr4 32 Gb 3200 Mhz | system ssd nvme samsung 990 pro 1 TB | hdd 12TB | no video card

I've been farming on plots with c0 compression for 2 years. And recently I got a 10TB hdd and I wanted to add them to my farm. Using cpu chia_plot I made k32 plots with c7 compression and I have been watching for 2 days and I see that I have 33% of stale particles.

First I launch start_farmer.cmd (2.3.0) and then Chia GUI (2.3.0)

What am I doing wrong and how can I solve the problem of stale particles? Thanks in advance

Unrelated to your question:

• If you are using Chia GUI 2.3.0 you do not need to run start_farmer: the GUI starts local farmer and node.
• At Space Pool, you can force your difficulty (start with 18) using the "view pool login link" option in Chia GUI, Pooling, NFT pool, ellipsis icon. From that URL login to pool, you can change from PPH to static difficulty.

As to your compression question, you need far more CPU or a GPU. I haven't CPU farmed in so long I cannot give real build examples, but my weakest CPU harvester was a DELL R620 (Dual Xeon E5-2660 V2).

Your ProofOfSpace shows 21s full proofs and those should be 1-2 at max ... as low as possible. While farming, the times will vary based on how many plots pass the filter. My full proofs are all ~1 second but with 10K plots per harvester real world times are higher (see image).

Get a cheap 1660 Super ... my first GPU harvester was an i7-4790, 32GB, 1660 Super with ~575TiB of C18s. I still use that build, but with a 3060Ti and I am replotting to C29s. GPU farming (while we can still do it) is far more effective.

My 3060Ti ProofOfSpace results.
