Chia Team details math on plotting speed and blockchain security

The Chia Team had a Zoom call this evening to discuss what the rapidly improved plotting speed we are seeing from the Mad Max plotter and the theoretical increases that could come with GPU plotting. The gist of it is that is more complicated than just plotting quickly and that throwing 100s of watts at the problem instead of 50TB or so probably won’t be worthwhile for a long time.

I will have a longer write-up on it tomorrow, but in the meantime check it out here.
