Choosing plot size

[Taresin]

Are there any differences between k-size plot choice?

From the plot times shown by other people, It seems like plot time scales proportionately with the size of the plot.
Just wanted to see if there are any other differences between choosing a single big plot or multiple little plots.

Is there any advantage to choosing one strategy over another?

K=32 is the network minimum and yes, the effort to generate a plot goes up by a factor of a little more than 2 as you go larger. K=32 is likely to survive 7-12 years on the chain before we'd have to move to k=33 - and that will have a lot of lead time. You're safe with k=32 and it's the easiest.

Hoffmang can you answer the question? Size and earnings difference? I do not mean time of plotting. What is difference betwnn small size plot and biggest plot. I don't mean the size I Asking about winning etc.
thx

Asking yet again doesn't get you a different answer. Two k32s will win almost exactly the same as a single k33.

ok

(You didn't fix the typo, now it's 32 instead of 33 :p)

So technically it's better to plot in k=33 if you don't want to have to replot in 10 years since everything else is the same

But in 15 years you may realize you wasted effort and k32s have another 10 years.
