Releases: madMAx43v3r/chia-gigahorse
2.1.4.giga32 Gigahorse 3.0 Node / Farmer
New in this release:
- Improved C29 and C30 farming compute by up to 10% (depends on GPU, only on some Ampere cards)
HTTP/1.1based remote compute support (using port11988withchia_recompute_proxy_http, or any portXX988)- Changed remote compute re-try interval from a fixed 100 sec to 30 sec per failed request. So for example if 10 requests were in-flight and the server crashes / the connection fails or they all timeout, it will wait 300 sec before trying that server again. This way the impact of a bad server is minimized.
Notes on C29:
- Plotting C29 is supported with latest
cuda_plot_k32_v3(3.1.0, see here) - Farming C29 is supported since
giga30
If you used chia_recompute_proxy before, you are encouraged to use chia_recompute_proxy_http as it's a more robust solution. It also allows servers to connect to the proxy by themselves via chia_recompute_server -u <proxy>.
chia_recompute_proxy_http is designed to work over the public internet, all connections are long lived. However you still need to implement access control by yourself, either via your own front-end proxy or some kind of WAF.
New since giga30:
- Gigahorse 3.0 plot format, C29 to C33
- Fixed an issue with remote compute where fail-over to another server did result in a lost lookup once every 100 sec. (
ERROR: connect() failed with: Connection refused)
Limitations for GH 3.0 plots:
- Plotting is only supported with the CUDA plotter (
cuda_plot_k32_v3, 16G RAM / 4G VRAM minimum) - Farming is only supported with Nvidia GPUs (starting with 900 series)
- K32 only
Notes:
- Need to use
cuda_plot_k32_v3binary for plotting the new format (See here) - Partial difficulty is now even more important for maximum farm size. Minimum recommended partial difficulty is 5000 for the new 3.0 format.
- Using a too low partial difficulty will increase GPU load by a factor of 2, in the worst case.
- Higher
-Scan help with phase 3 plotting times, like-S 8if you have enough VRAM. - Use
ProofOfSpace farm --diff 800000to benchmark for solo farming. chia_recompute_serveris backwards compatible to old clients, but needs to be updated for new clients running giga30.- Both Node & Farmer & Harvester need to be updated at the same time to support 3.0 format.
This release provides Chia Blockchain binaries to farm compressed plots created with the new plotters provided in this repository.
The compressed plot harvester and farmer are not compatible with the official Chia node, it only works together with the Gigahorse node. However it's possible to use a wallet from the official Chia repository, instead of the Gigahorse binary wallet.
Both NFT and OG plots are supported, as well as solo and pool farming (via the official pool protocol). Regular uncompressed plots are supported as well, so you can use the Gigahorse version while re-plotting your farm.
The dev fee is as follows:
- 3.125 % when using GPU(s) to farm compressed plots
- 1.562 % when using CPU(s) to farm compressed plots
- 0 % for regular uncompressed plots
The following packages are needed to run on Linux: sudo apt install ocl-icd-libopencl1
Make sure to choose the correct version for your system, see uname -m, usually it's x86_64. aarch64 is the same as arm64.
On Windows:
- You might have to install latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
Note: See limit-gpu-usage on how to select an OpenCL platform if you have multiple platforms (excluding Nvidia).
2.1.4.giga31 Gigahorse 3.0 Node / Farmer
Fixed in this release:
- Random errors when farming a mix of old C1 to C20 and the new C30+ (~20 sec lookups and
recv() timeouterrors) - Need to update remote compute servers as well to get the fix.
New since giga30:
- Gigahorse 3.0 plot format, C30 to C33
- Fixed an issue with remote compute where fail-over to another server did result in a lost lookup once every 100 sec. (
ERROR: connect() failed with: Connection refused)
Limitations:
- The new C30 to C33 are only supported with the CUDA plotter (
cuda_plot_k32_v3, 8G RAM / 4G VRAM minimum) - Farming C30 to C33 is only supported with Nvidia GPU (starting with 900 series)
- K32 only for 3.0 format
Notes:
- Need to use
cuda_plot_k32_v3binary for plotting the new format (See here) - Partial difficulty is now even more important for maximum farm size. Minimum recommended partial difficulty is 10k for the new 3.0 format.
- Using a too low partial difficulty will increase GPU load by a factor of 2, in the worst case.
- Higher
-Scan help with phase 3 plotting times, like-S 8if you have enough VRAM. - Use
ProofOfSpace farm --diff 800000to benchmark for solo farming. chia_recompute_serveris backwards compatible to old clients, but needs to be updated for new clients running giga30.- Both Node & Farmer & Harvester need to be updated at the same time to support 3.0 format.
- Lower levels of the 3.0 format to replace C16 to C18 will be released later (work in progress).

On Windows:
- You might have to install latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
Note: Newer AMD GPUs starting with RX 6000 series do not work due to a driver bug, we have to wait for AMD to fix it. Vega series is known to still work when using an older driver with amdgpu-install --opencl=pal,legacy. RX 5000 series is unknown at this point.
Note: See limit-gpu-usage on how to select an OpenCL platform if you have multiple platforms (excluding Nvidia).
1.8.2.giga22 Gigahorse 2.0 Node / Farmer
Fixed in this version:
- OpenCL compile failure on AMD / Intel platforms.
New in this version:
- Gigahorse 2.0 plots: Compression Levels C11 to C20
- Improved farming performance by 2x or more for C6 to C9
- New
ProofOfSpace farmbenchmark to test maximum farm size for a certain partial difficulty (set via--diff) - CUDA disk plot mode via
-3(8G RAM enough for K32) - CUDA plotter Direct IO option
-Dfor final copy (local and remote, default disabled)
Limitations:
- The new C11 to C20 is only supported with the CUDA plotter for now
- OpenCL farming support for the new C11 to C20 will come in a later release
- CPU farming the new format is only supported for C11 to C13
- The old C1 to C7 is still better for CPU farming at this point
- Both Node & Farmer & Harvester need to be updated at the same time
- Bladebit plots are not supported
Notes:
- Partial difficulty is now important for maximum farm size, depending on compression level.
- Use
ProofOfSpace farm --diff 50000to benchmark for solo farming. chia_recompute_serveris backwards compatible to old clients, but needs to be updated for new clients running giga20.
This release provides Chia Blockchain binaries to farm compressed plots created with the new plotters provided in this repository.
The compressed plot harvester and farmer are not compatible with the official Chia node, it only works together with the Gigahorse node. However it's possible to use a wallet from the official Chia repository, instead of the Gigahorse binary wallet.
Both NFT and OG plots are supported, as well as solo and pool farming (via the official pool protocol). Regular uncompressed plots are supported as well, so you can use the Gigahorse version while re-plotting your farm.
The dev fee is as follows:
- 3.125 % when using GPU(s) to farm compressed plots
- 1.562 % when using CPU(s) to farm compressed plots
- 0 % for regular uncompressed plots
The following packages are needed to run on Linux: sudo apt install ocl-icd-libopencl1
Make sure to choose the correct version for your system, see uname -m, usually it's x86_64. aarch64 is the same as arm64.
