Will I need to replot to use the official pooling protocol?
Yes. Anyone who wants to join a pool will need to create new K32 or above portable plots. This new plot format allows you to switch between pools and self-pooling with a cooldown of 30 minutes (rules set by pool) between each switch. Each switch between pools will require a transaction with a smart contract on the blockchain. Our recommendation is to slowly replace your existing plots with portable plots one by one, so you still have a chance to win XCH while you convert to all portable plots.
