DrPlotter v1.0.3

This updates marks the 1.0.3 release, and fixes a critical bug when reading a mixture of plots create prior to v1.0.0 and post version 1.0.0 on the same harvester.

What's New in 1.0.3 compared to 1.0.2:

• Critical bug fix reading plots when having a mixture of Pro4x/Pro4+ or Eco3x/Eco3+ plots.
• Please note that all plots created from previous version are still valid, it was just the reading of plots that caused the issue.

What's New in 1.0.2 compared to 1.0.1:

• Adds RPC data back in to report plot counts and data back to your farmer.

What's New since 0.12.1

• drplotter now creates drplots with Pro4+ (442% rewards) and Eco3+ (317% rewards) formats with no developer fees.

• DrSolver and DrPlotter now have cli-only mode for TTY compatibility (for instance in Docker containers).

• DrServer can now be run fully offline, with no requirement for online connection.

• You will now need to run your own DrServer -- the token system has changed so it can support your own remote DrServer. Please see the README for more details.

• DrChia harvester: will now omit any developer proofs from drplots made prior to v1.0.0, which saves you ~7% GPU compute.

• Fixes drplotter bug in creating Pro plot formats that affected ~1% of proofs which resulted in failed solutions.

Developer fees

Any existing drplots created prior to verson 1.0.0 still have developer proof data inside.

HOWEVER: the drchia harvester will no longer read the developer plots and submit them to your DrSolver's. This means you get an immediate boost of ~7% of GPU that will get freed up, as it discards any developer-related proofs.

A tool will be released soon that will strip the developer proofs from your plots to convert them into the Pro4+ and Eco3+ versions. However this is optional and will only reduce your storage space used and not affect your GPU load any further. Using the tool will reduce plots made using drplotter before v1.0.0 by approximately 7%.

Installation and Compatibility

Make sure you have Chia's farmer 2.2 and upwards.

For users on Ubuntu 22.04, it is recommended to use the .deb package. Other linux distributions can use the tar file.

Using the .deb package

• Download drplotter_1.0.3_amd64.deb and execute:

  sudo dpkg -i drplotter_1.0.3_amd64.deb

Using the tar.gz file:

• Download drplotter-1.0.2-x86_64.tar.gz, untar the file, and utilize the included binaries.

You'll need to use the DrServer to connect your DrChia harvesters and DrSolvers. You can follow the guide here:
