Step 1 - Create a singleton
You can skip this if you already created one.
GUI
- Get the latest Chives release and start it.
- Go to the "Pool" tab and click on "Add a plot NFT"
- Select solo or pool depending on what you want to do. You can change it anytime so the first choice is not important.
Add Pool URL if you went for the pool option but be sure to remove https://
from the link.
- Click on "Create", now you need to wait couple minutes until the singleton is created.
CLI
- Start the newest release supporting nft plots.
- Create the singleton depending on what you need, you can change anytime if it should be pool or solo.
For solo just do chives plotnft create --state local
For pool do chives plotnft create --state pool --pool_url pool.chivespool.com

Step 2 - Get contract address
GUI
- Get the latest Chives release and start it.
- Go to the "Pool" tab and if you have multiple singletons you need to find the one you want to use.
- Next to the name on the top-left position of the singleton card you will see ? (question mark).
- Go with mouse over it. Now you will see "Autogenerated name from pool contract address" and an xcc address.
- Copy the contract address starting with xcc, that is your -c value you need for plotting.

CLI
- Start the newest release supporting nft plots.
- Run
chives plotnft show
, if you have multiple keys you need to work with the ids.
- You will see "Wallet ids", that are the singletons you created.
- Search for the right singleton and just copy the "Pool contract address" starting with xcc.
Step 3 - Plotting
Be sure to replace the -p option with -c and as value use the contract address.
For Madmax you should also not forget to add the -x and -k option.

If you use GUI make sure to choose the right singleton from the form.
Madmax example:
@ECHO OFF
SET hr=%time:~0,2%
IF "%hr:~0,1%" equ " " set hr=0%hr:~1,1%
SET DATETIME=Log_%date:~-4,4%%date:~-10,2%%date:~-7,2%_%hr%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2%
SET LOG_FILE=logs/%DATETIME%.log
IF NOT EXIST logs MKDIR logs
powershell ".\chia_plot.exe -n -1 -r 8 -u 256 -k 31 -x 9699 -t F:\temp\ -d E:\final\ -f a5c40954... -c xcc15hskd... | tee '%LOG_FILE%'"
