PlotsChecker 1.0
https://github.com/Blagodarenko/PlotsChecker/releases/download/1.0/PlotsChecker.exePlotsChecker checks and validates plots to see if the name of the plots, matches with the contents of the plot. Incase it finds any errors, the program is able to correct the plot by renaming and truncating the plot, thus removing any space otherwise wasted.
Renaming
If the plot is incomplete or missing nonces, the program is able to rename the plot and correct the file, which allows space to be freed by truncating. When the plot gets renamed, the program makes sure the nonces is still a multiplier of the stagger size.Truncating
As a result of renaming the plots, there is now nonces wasting space instead of being usefull. By truncating the program is able to remove any nonces not within the new plotFlow chart
The program gets the plotfile’s size.
The program calculated the amount of real nonces contained within the plot file, by dividing the plotfiles’s size by 256 kb (1 nonce).
Renames the plotfile to the number of real nonces, while still being a multiplier of the stagger.
Truncates the plot, by deleting any unused nonces.How to use
- download PlotsChecker to c:\
- run cmd.exe
- type c:\PlotsChecker d:\Burst\plots
(in case if your plots in folder d:\Burst\plots), press Enter
-

@Blago Is it possible to check multiple directories/drives at once?
-
Help!!! i have downloded and now i Cant install the checker!!!!
-
@bytheseaster The checker isn't a installable program, just fallow the instruction:
put the PlotsChecker.exe to c:
run cmd.exe
type this c:\PlotsChecker d:\Burst\plots <--- here you put the label of your HDD that you want to check.
after this, press enter.

im using windows 32bit
-
Why can't i run the *.exe? When i run it what i get is a cmd and instantly close.
This appeans too with the GPU plotter... I'm using Windows 10 64bit
-
@gpedro You need to run cmd.exe, go to the directory where the checker is, then run it telling it where your plots are: eg - c:\PlotsChecker d:\Burst\plots
-
@haitch Thanks its working and all checked up...

Hi! can somebody help me. I downloaded the plot checker and point it to drive C. as per instruction. Now when i run the command prompt. input this c:\PlotsChecker h:\Burst\plots
and hit enter. It shows " C:\PlotsChecker' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Thanks in advance to those willing to help.

@rocky You downloaded the file to a different location than c:\ - try c:\users<your username>\downloads\plotschecker
Alternatively download the file again and do a "save as" and specify a location.
-
@haitch thanks for the reply. I've got the same issue. here's the location now. C:\Users\BASHEER\Downloads\PlotsChecker-master (1).zip\PlotsChecker-master.
-
@rocky unzip the PlotsChecker-master.zip file and extract the .exe
-
@haitch as you can see the last part is \PlotsChecker-master. It is extracted already. here are the files:
.gitignore
PlotsChecker.cpp
PlotsChecker.exe.manifest
PlotsChecker.vcxproj
PlotsChecker.vcxproj.filtersPlotsChecker.vcxproj.user
README.md
-
@rocky You've downloaded the source code, not the executable. Goto : https://github.com/Blagodarenko/PlotsChecker/releases/download/1.0/PlotsChecker.exe
