you can use madmax plotter it very fast and you can use ram disk 110G second temp for faster plotting

I am so happy that all chia miners have modern motherboards and we are ready to pay 3-4 thousand for such. But I'm not.
This disk functions via PCIe, this means it is supported by any motherboard. My motherboard's RAM limit is 32G Sad

Most ryzen motherboards support 128GB ram and they cost as low as $50

Well the correct mother boards are about $200, I have a 32 core with the 128gb and its faster to make plots on the nvme.2 pcie4x16 because it has its own controller, if you plot on the dyn ram, it hogs your memory controller and the computer can't be used for much of anything else;

Everybody (manfacturer) has their day first it was gpus, then disks, and now RAM memory all have seen prices sky-rocket.

Mad max on a 32 core is uses 8gb and takes 20 min to do a plot, chia-plotter took 6hr, but it could be staggered. So we have come a long way,

Yet turbo-plot for burst-bhd is nvidia/amd gpu and takes 10 minutes to make a plot and is 5 year old technology.

Lastly, if u plot, you need 10K plots, or 1k TB of HDD's which is $30k USD of drives, this is real cost of HDD mining, to have less than 10k plots is to not even be able to earn 1/3 xch per day ( right now the xch/pb per day is 0.33 ), or $100/day return on $30K investment; $30k in GPUS, would probably return more wealth;

With madmax plotter, Intel Xeon also works very well, like E5 2680/2690 V3 and you can find them, used, with a cheap price on ebay for example, clearly less expensive than a 5950 ryzen...

BTW, why the "official" topic is locked ? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5173890.0

i think it lock because it not official topic

Ok so there is no official thread on this crypto ? What a shame!
