The Chia community has really stepped up its meme game coming into 2022; the hype being built on Twitter now is starting to explode. Lots of firsts and lots to brag about coming into the new year has set off a firestorm of community driven content online. It seems the community’s relative happiness has directly…

A rebuttal to my Chia light wallet rant
Dan Perry and Roy Natian of Chia Network have just published a blog post on the official Chia blog explaining some of the issues I identified in my rant about the Chia light wallet, and detailing out their roadmap to fix others. It is worth the read if that rant resonated with you. I still don’t think…
Chia News of the Week – Dec 27 to Jan 9
Well it looks like I missed a Chia News of the Week post last week, which probably isn’t the end of the world considering how slow the news was over the Christmas holidays. I hope everyone had a lovely break, and got to do all the family-seeing and time-spending they wanted to. Many of us…
Chia vs Bitcoin – a Twitter story
One of the most frustrating things about being part of the Chia community is watching people opine on Twitter about the benefits of Bitcoin, while handwaving away the energy cost. Or even worse, calling the energy use a feature instead of a bug. It needs to be said that Satoshi did not anticipate what Bitcoin…
Chia’s first Twitter Spaces Sunday Happy hour
This Sunday at 11pm eastern time the twitter Chia community had a low key twitter space meet up hosted by: @dylanmrose and @KyleLogiks, co hosted by @LebanonJon with a late speaking appearance by @bramcohen himself. Make sure to follow all these fine gentlemen on twitter if you are not already. Now admittedly I didn’t pay…
Why is the Chia Light wallet so bad?
First off, I want to say that the Chia Light wallet is currently in beta, and I shouldn’t be using it for production work. That part is on me. But at the same time, it is the only way to interface with CATs, although a browser extension wallet is being developed. So when I made…
Jay Gould, Bram Cohen interview – Technological superiority vs the Network effect
You couldn’t have asked for a better timing to an interview as the recent one by Jay Gould featuring Bram Cohen. So far after viewing most (if not all) of the “outward facing” Chia content this interview is my favourite to date. Why? It asks the questions and gives the answers to what we should…
Thoughts about the Mad Max cryptocurrency MMX
The other day someone posted a link to the repo for the Mad Max cryptocurrency node he’s tentatively calling MMX. I suspect that name will change as there is a really scammy looking MMX token that launched recently and I don’t think he’s going to want any association with that, but for now its MMX….
Merry Christmas from The Chia Plot
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my readers. We are close to capping off the first year of The Chia Plot and to celebrate I am going to give something to every one that comments on this post with a light wallet XCH address. I hope you and yours have a wonderful and safe…
Will Chia coin ever find its price? My unnecessary 3 year price prediction
Has anyone been following the Chia markets lately? Even just casually glancing at the daily price, we can all agree it’s not looking very good. What is causing this dramatic down trend in price can only be theorized at this point due to the multiple factors involved; it really is anyone’s guess. Apart from a…
