Question:

I have 8 disks which I plot on fast computer using a wallet internal plotter. When I plotted 5th disk I've got the famous message on plots overlapping. I've deleted plots from 5th disk and assigned to it via Windows new letter which was not used for previous 4 disks (K:). I've plotted again - and got again the same error message.
Both overlapping disks had a plots starting from "0", so I decided to start plotting on 5th disk K from "2". Did plot again - and again got error message.

So - can anybody help to plot 5th and the rest of the disks without overlapping?

Hi,

When you are plotting a HDD, and you start let's say from 0, it writes X amount of nonces (for example from 0 to 0000050000), then the next HDD nonces needs to start from 0000050001 to X nonces depending on HDD size
(let's say it writes up to 0000100000), and the next one must start from 0000100001 to X.
Each HDD needs to have it's own range of nonces
example:
HDD1: from 0 to 0000050000
HDD2: from 0000050000 to 0000100000
HDD3: from 0000100001 to 0000150000
HDD4: from 0000150001 to 0000200000

The numbers are an example but I hope you get the point.

In order to choose from what number of nonces to start when plotting a HDD using the in wallet plotter (AIO wallet), when you choose the HDD to plot, on the next window check the "expert mode" checkbox, and add the number of nonce you want to start from.

example of plotted HDD file:

your-account-numeric-ID_12000000000000_60544_60544

explanation:

Your account numeric ID is your wallet address in numeric form.
the 12000000000000 is the nonces number that this HDD starts from
the 1st 60544 is the number of the nonces that this HDD have in plots
the 2nd 60544 is the number that has to do with the memory, but in my experience if the two numbers are the same (last 2 numbers on the plot file, 60544 and 60544 in my case) then the plot is optimized.

I hope I explained ok
