Plotting

preparing your hard drive for mining before you can mine signum, you need to "plot" your hard drive plotting is a one time process where you generate cryptographic data and store it on your hard drive this data is then used during mining to find valid blocks the larger your plotted space, the more chances you have to forge a block and earn rewards signum mining does not involve real time computation — it relies on pre generated data (plots), which your miner software scans efficiently when a new block is forged 🧠 plotting vs mining what's the difference? plotting = generating data once and storing it mining = scanning that data to find valid block deadlines you only plot once , and you can mine with that data for years — unless you want to expand your capacity for better rewards 🟢 easiest way – turboplotter 9000 the fastest and most beginner friendly way to get started is with the turboplotter 9000 , a graphical plotting tool 🔗 https //blackpawn com/tp/ steps download & install turboplotter https //blackpawn com/tp/drop/turboplotter 0 10 2 zip x64 https //blackpawn com/tp/drop/turboplotter 0 9 6 dmg https //blackpawn com/tp/drop/turboplotter 0 10 1 tar gz enter your signum address (you'll need a wallet – docid\ vgcdmoeao 3hsosyuzmew choose a folder and disk size for your plots click “start plotting” and let the software work once your plots are generated, you’re ready to move on to mining! for a visual guide on how to start plotting with turboplotter 9000, you might find this video helpful ⚙️ option b advanced – command line plotting for advanced users, servers, or headless systems (e g , linux), use the official signum plotter cli tool 🔗 https //github com/signum network/signum plotter basic usage signum plotter exe \[flags] \[options] n \<nonces> id \<numeric id> sn \<start nonce> flags flags d, ddio disables direct i/o a, daio disables async writing (single ram buffer mode) l, prio runs with low priority q, quiet runs in non verbose mode b, bench runs in xpu benchmark mode h, help prints help information v, version prints version information options i, id \<numeric id> your numeric account id s, sn \<start nonce> where you want to start plotting n, n \<nonces> how many nonces you want to plot p, path \<path> target path for plotfile (optional) m, mem \<memory> maximum memory usage (optional)
