Step 1, Create a new project with your own farmer public key and pool contract address(or public pool key for OG plot)

Step 2, View the project token and copy the project token

Step 3, Download gui.ps1(a simple windows gui version for beginners)

Download and save it as gui.ps1: https://github.com/anyplots/cloud-chia-plotter/releases/download/v3/gui.ps1

Step 4, Run the gui.ps1

See the following screen: right click it, it will show the right menu, then click the "Run with PowerShell" option.

Step 5, Wait for downloading the CloudChiaPlotter.exe (Safe? Yes! You can review the source code on Github.com)

Step 6, Paste the project token copied from [step 2] and setup folders and network bandwidth(test your bandwidth?)

OK! It's running, It will auto download all plots related to your project, just keep it running

Since our platform is connected to many plotting rigs of various configurations, the plotting speed is not completely constant, but they are in the range of a few minutes to 2 hours per plot.
If your bid is high enough, there will be several or even dozens of servers plotting for you at the same time.

The chia plot price is determined by both parties.
The system will automatically match the seller and buyer according to their price settings and network status.
The final price is generated by multi-party bidding. The buyer can limit the highest price and the seller can limit the lowest price to avoid exceeding expectations.

The bid auction will auto start every 5 seconds.
First, the system will select the active buyers' projects(If there are many ready plots under the project and the download cannot be completed within the next 4 hours according to the current download speed, it will not join the auction),
Then select the active sellers' servers(if the server is busy, it will not join the auction).
Each project or Each server can only bid on one plot in one auction, so the plot prices under the same project may be different.
see the auction flow graph:
*Note:The following flow chart demonstrates the main bidding process, but the actual process will be more complicated. At the same time, it is necessary to consider the credit level of users and sellers, the stability of servers, network speed, etc.

Not extactly.
We mainly provide a chia plot marketplace. Most of chia plotting rigs are provided by third-party sellers. Not all sellers are for profit. Many chia farmers owned idle plotting rigs.
