Add command line option to generate a plot for donation #937

Closed unsocial-bleach closed 3 years ago

unsocial-bleach commented 3 years ago

I want to benchmark a couple systems by generating a plot for an arbitrary wallet and mining on it for a couple minutes. I don't want to deal with copying my own contract addresses and similar to these systems I am testing.

It would be great if there was a command line option to generate a plot where mining on it goes to an NFT plot owned by the creator of this great tool.

It doesn't work like that because you'd need to have the private keys too.

You need the private key to plot?

These are the only three key arguments to the plotter:

-p, --poolkey arg    Pool Public Key (48 bytes)
-c, --contract arg   Pool Contract Address (62 chars)
-f, --farmerkey arg  Farmer Public Key (48 bytes)

None of those look like Private Keys to me.

You need the private key to farm. You plotting with someone's public key doesn't donate anything to them because you can't farm it.

Oh okay, that makes sense, thank you
