NOTE: chia create – creates a new plot according to the settings chosen in the start parameters.

• -k NUMBER: Specifies the k-size for the plot – valid values are 32, 33, 34 or 35.
  • A k32 plot requires about 240 GB of temp memory and ends up with about 100 GB.
• -n NUMBER: The number of times a plot should be created in series.
• -b NUMBER: Size of memory to be used in MB (default 4608 MB).
• -f NUMBER: The farmer public key can be specified here.
• -p NUMBER: The public key of a pool can be specified here.
• -a NUMBER: To specify the fingerprint of the key to use.
  • This option is useful if you have multiple private keys stored.
• -t PATH: Specifies the path to the temp directory.
• -2 PATH: Specifies the path to the optional second temp. directory; this directory is used only for phase 3 and 4
• -d PATH: Specifies the path to the final directory where the plot will be saved.
• -r NUMBER: Specifies the number of CPU cores to use in phase 1.
  • 2 cores seems to be the best setting, more than 4 cores will give negative results.
• -u NUMBER: Specifies the number of buckets.
  • More buckets require less ram but more accesses to the SSD/HDD.
  • There is no advantage to use less pots, the default is 128.
• -e: Disables bitfield plotting.
  • This setting is not recommended.
