# Step 3, create a plot
# Plotting takes a long time. Depending on what kind of CPU and drive you provisioned (NVMe is best), it will take on the order of 12 hours to create a "real" plot. So, you probably want to do it in a screen

# chia plots create -r 4

# Or, run this first if you're curious to see the output. It uses a `k` value of 25
# instead of the default of 32, so it finishes in minutes instead of hours. You may
# want to delete the resulting plot file when it's finished, because k=32 is the minimum
# size that the network will accept.
chia plots create -k 1 --override-k

# The "plots" you create are files on disk, and they're getting created in the same directory as your software installation. 
# Committed farmers use separate machines for plot creation and farming. 
# There's a sequence of temporary files created along the way; 
# you can use `chia plots create -h` to see all the options about which files go where
