Chia Forks
Block 5.496.000 - Plot filter reduction
On June 13th 2024 the plot filter hard fork will be activasted. Farmers not using Chia 2.1.0 or newer will not be able to farm!
The fork changes the plot filter size. This affects farmers using compressed plots, because the load to find proofs will double. This can cause significant issues, especially when using compressed plots. If your farm struggles to handle the increased load, you have several options:
- Remove plots or hard drives from your farm
- Add more CPU/GPU power
- Raise the pool difficulty, depending on your plots and compression level
- Replot to a lower compression level
After the fork double the plots are eligible to find proofs. This means you'll submit double the partials to the pool. The pool will correct your difficulty, but in case you use a fixed difficulty: Please change your difficulty to a safe number, so it won't overload your farm after the fork.
