k32 plots with c7 compression have 33% of stale particles #321

Hi, I have a PC Win10pro x64 | intel i7 6700 (4/8) | ddr4 32 Gb 3200 Mhz | system ssd nvme samsung 990 pro 1 TB | hdd 12TB | no video card

I've been farming on plots with c0 compression for 2 years. And recently I got a 10TB hdd and I wanted to add them to my farm. Using cpu chia_plot I made k32 plots with c7 compression and I have been watching for 2 days and I see that I have 33% of stale particles.

First I launch start_farmer.cmd (2.3.0) and then Chia GUI (2.3.0)

What am I doing wrong and how can I solve the problem of stale particles? Thanks in advance

Unrelated to your question:

As to your compression question, you need far more CPU or a GPU. I haven't CPU farmed in so long I cannot give real build examples, but my weakest CPU harvester was a DELL R620 (Dual Xeon E5-2660 V2).

Your ProofOfSpace shows 21s full proofs and those should be 1-2 at max ... as low as possible. While farming, the times will vary based on how many plots pass the filter. My full proofs are all ~1 second but with 10K plots per harvester real world times are higher (see image).

Get a cheap 1660 Super ... my first GPU harvester was an i7-4790, 32GB, 1660 Super with ~575TiB of C18s. I still use that build, but with a 3060Ti and I am replotting to C29s. GPU farming (while we can still do it) is far more effective.

My 3060Ti ProofOfSpace results.

C18 --> ProofOfSpace.exe farm --diff 1068 -f T:\plot-k32-c18-ProofOfSpace.plot 1000
Max Farm Size @256: 1.302 PiB (physical)
Average time to compute quality: 0.094 sec

C29 --> ProofOfSpace.exe farm --diff 1175 -f T:\plot-k32-c29-ProofOfSpace.plot 1000
Max Farm Size @256: 0.608 PiB (physical)
Average time to compute quality: 0.165 sec
