chia plots check report wrong?

[jooooooooooe]

Today, after the update to chia 1.2.5 in did a chia plots check -n 5 which reported 5 invalid plots. Then I did a second run with -n 50. This reported 7 invalid plots, but totally different plots than before.... Is this a bug or is this intended? Shall I delete the invalid ones?

uhh, that does not sound good, but before you start deleting plot files - getting these random results could point to something else but the plot themselfs being the issue!
running plots check should send the same static challenges to the files - so the -n 50 should run the same 5 checks first, as when you did -n 5 - meaning those same files should report the same errors (+ potential more)

Woooo. Thats what I thought. But: what is wrong? I did not notice this until now. I don't know, why I ran the exact test twice. I guess, what puzzled me, was that quite old plots were suddenly invalid. Should I downgrade to 1.2.4 or just sit and wait for 1.2.6 ;-)?

i would try and test hardware...

Hmmm. I think I leave it as it is and wait for the next update. Since my Farm runs on a macmini 2014 where almost everything is soldered on and everything else runs great, I don't want to mess with the system. Maybe on next reboot I'll do the Apple Hardware Test...
