Bitcoin / Ethereum / Litecoin and everything else mining pool Prohashing has recently announced that they would be joining the crowded field of Chia Pools, so I wanted talk to them to see why and what they were expecting to bring to the Chia pool ecosystem. And it was pretty interesting. I think they have…

All about pools – ChiaHub.io, a small yet honest pool
I wanted to get this entry into All about Pools out quickly, to act as a stark contrast to the behaviour we have seen from EcoChia, and the resulting coming disruption to their farmers from the Chia license revocation. ChiaHub.io was vocal in discord when the EcoChia story broke that they are an even smaller…
All about Pools – LetsFarm, a legitimate German pool
In today’s All about Pools I am focusing on Letsfarm.io, a German pool who seems to share a lot of the same values as I do with The Chia Plot, and when choosing a pool. Letsfarm is focused quite a bit on trust as their selling model and they think that having proper tax registration…
All about Pools – Chiabatta, the South Korean leaders
In today’s All about Pools entry we spoke to Chiabatta, a group of South Korean farmers really trying to bring Chia to their part of the world. I really liked this team, they have a lot of ideas to not just grow their pool but the entire Chia community in South Korea. The Chiabatta team…
All about Pools – OpenChia, spitting fire right out of the gate
In the latest entry into my All about Pools series here, I had a chance to get some insight into OpenChia, a pool whose value proposition in complete transparency. More than that, however, they launched their pool with a Reddit post insinuating that other pools cannot be trusted because their back-end code is not open…
All about Pools – TruePool, the TrueNAS sponsored Chia Pool
In today’s entry in our All about Pools series, we are looking at TruePool. TruePool is an on-chain Chia Pool developed and managed by the iXsystems development team behind the TrueNAS network storage distribution. This one is really interesting to me because TrueNAS has been a real player in the DIY NAS space for many…

In our next in the All about Pools series, we are taking a look at Pool4Chia. Pool4Chia are describing themselves as a set of Chia whales that are looking to throw their weight into a pool to help small farmers. I suspect it has more to do with the potential profits of running a major…
All about Pools – MyChiaPool, a friendly co-op
In a continuation of my series All about Pools I had the opportunity to speak to MyChiaPool, a set of experienced crypto farmers and programmers who, like a lot of us, got frustrated when the netspace started to edge them out of block wins and decided to do something about it. Their team includes a…
All about pools – Foxypool, playing both angles
Like Flexpool, Foxypool is an established cryptocurrency pool that decided to get into Chia pooling for reasons we will expand below. Unlike Flexpool they are focused entirely on storage based coins from what I can tell. Also uniquely they are already running a pool with their own custom code, as well as launching an on-chain…
All about pools – Roundup to date
In case you missed it, we have been doing interviews with the various pool operators and writing a little bit about them – information you cant find on their websites. We don’t focus on things like pool fees and and promises, but get a sense of the people running the pools themselves and what their…
