What are the differences between catchmeifyoucan.zip, chia_plot_noavx.zip and madMAx43v3r_chia-plotter_win_build_v0.0.4.zip ?

madMAx43v3r_chia-plotter_win_build_v0.0.4.zip is the normal one. chia_plot_noavx.zip is if you are using an old cpu that does not support AVX (google how to find this out) catchmeifyoucan.zip is a version with extra logging info for debugging.

Thank you. This should really be documented better. I have been looking for more logging.

Yeah look, it should have been, but the windows builds are unofficial so not much documentation there.

flyoffacliff commented 3 years ago

Oh ok. Unofficial in what way?

It's just that building on windows is a humungous pain in the ass, so madmax43v3r didn't do it himself. Instead, stotiks built the windows versions and they are therefore unofficial. They should still work, but they'll be slightly out of date usually because madmax pushes updates to this repository more often than stotiks makes a new build. Oh well.

"chia_plot_noavx.zip " can be implemented via the current build files with a couple of flags all the "missing" routines & code are already here, just the build process needs a bit of work.
