A high-performance, pipelined multi-threaded Chia plotter written in C that creates proof-of-space plot files for the Chia blockchain. It uses a GPU-like processing pipeline with CPU threads to saturate storage device bandwidth.

Use cases

• create chia plots faster than the official plotter
• maximize disk bandwidth when plotting chia
• batch-generate multiple chia plots unattended
• plot for chia pools with a contract address
• reduce plotting RAM usage with bucket tuning
• write plots directly to a RAM drive tmpdir

When to choose

• you need the fastest available CPU-based chia plotting performance
• you want fine-grained control over threads, buckets, and temp directories
• you plot for pools and need contract address support
• you want graceful batch plotting with parallel final-dir copying

When to avoid

• you need a GUI plotting tool
• you plot for blockchains other than Chia, Chives, or MMX
• you want a maintained tool with ongoing feature development
• you are not comfortable compiling C code from source
