KEYBASE CHIA FULL
Number of reads =(Events per day, plots passing filter ✕ IO Proof quality check) +(IO Full proof of space ✕ Partials per day Drive size (TB)Įvents per day, plots passing filter = signage points per day ✕ n plots / filter constant We can estimate the storage workload on a given drive capacity (measured in TB, terabytes) by knowing the k size selected and n number of plots that fit on the drive. Partials per day: set by pool operators, estimated at 300 for reference.IO Full proof of space (and partial request from pool): 64 read requests.IO Proof quality check: 9 read requests.The bandwidth and amount of data transferred can be estimated by looking at the average blocksize of the read requests multiplied by the IOPS.Ĭonstants in proof of space that were chosen for Chia In the pooling protocol a pool operator requests several partial proofs of space per day per drive to verify that the pool participant is indeed storing as much data as they claim. The amount of IOPS (input/output operations per second) can be estimated by determining the mean of the plot filter passes per day and multiplying by the number of seeks required for a proof quality check. The probability of an individual disk being accessed can be found with the binomial distribution function cumulative probability with a probability per plot, n trials equal to the number of plots on the disk (probability of X successes ≥ 1) per signage point. The probability of a plot being accessed each challenge, which happens on the signage point interval time, is 1/512. When a challenge arrives the plot filter is applied to reduce the disk io by the value of the plot filter constant, which is currently set to 512. A plot file size is determined by a k value where each plot is made up of 7 tables each with 2^k entries. The proof of space construction and Section 3.2 contains the details on the format for plot files. Data durability (defined as the probability of not losing user data) and error rate requirements for Chia are significantly reduced compared to storing user data and may constitute a new class of storage media and promote used hardware that otherwise would not be suitable. The Chia farming workload is read-only, completely random distribution, and a low amount of data transferred between the device and host. The Chia farming workload differs from traditional enterprise or consumer storage use cases since the data stored in plot files contains no user data. We will explore the theoretical disk io requirements based on the protocols, and look at measured disk utilization during a real farming workload. There is a plot filter designed to significantly reduce the amount of disk io required by requiring that a hash of the plot id and challenge contains a certain amount of zeros. A harvester service checks plot files for partial proofs of space when a challenge is received.
KEYBASE CHIA VERIFICATION
The protocol for farming and harvesting was designed for quick and efficient verification of proofs of space while minimizing disk io (input/output). For comments and questions reach out to on keybase, or on TwitterĬhia uses a consensus called proof of space and time, in which participants prove to the network that they are storing a certain amount of data through a process called farming.įarmers respond to network challenges to earn rewards for securing the Chia network, which involves generating proofs of space from stored data.

GUI Relevant log output T06:19:30.698 harvester : WARNING Looking up qualities on. Wouldn't it make more sense for lookups to timeout with a warning after ~30 seconds rather than skipping several signage points? And respond with what is available in time? ie "700 of 800 plots" I will check this and report back.Įven if it is a failing disk, it shouldn't bring down the whole farm. I have full DEBUG level logs available and am happy to work with team over keybase (reythia).Ī grep of logs suggests there is a single disk is associated with the majority of slow lookups since 1.3.4, so the issue may well be hardware on my end. New releases occasionally lead to very slow farming performance, whilst 1.3.3 was generally stable.ġ.3.4 sets a new record at 437 seconds for a lookup. I have a large monolithic farm with several JBODs attached to a single farmer.
