 Although k-32 is by far the [[https://dashboard.chia.net/d/CL1X4UWnk/blockchain-state?orgId=1&viewPanel=41|most used k-size]], chia allows us to plot big-k plots. As the number of proofs is directly proportional to the plot size in bytes, there is limited incentives on the revenue side to using larger k-plots. On the cost side however, using big k-plots offers a small advantage in terms of HDD power-saving. A k-32 has double the disk reads per byte and is accessed by the plot-filter twice more than a k-33, and four times for than a k-34, and 16 times more than a k-36, etc. One problem in leveraging these benefits has been that in order to fill up a drive to make best use of the capacity, a mixed bag of multi-k plots is required (see image below), resulting in a cost-saving that is insignificant enough to warrant a replot for most.  Although k-32 is by far the [[https://dashboard.chia.net/d/CL1X4UWnk/blockchain-state?orgId=1&viewPanel=41|most used k-size]], chia allows us to plot big-k plots.

 But it also allows for more complex methods, such as using idle_c during winter, while switching to standby_z in summer to reduce electricity used for AC.  But it also allows for more complex methods, such as using idle_c during winter, while switching to standby_z in summer to reduce electricity used for AC. 
 Admittedly, the plotting requirements make this method prohibitive to many.  Admittedly, the plotting requirements make this method prohibitive to many.
