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.

Chia is the same coin you started farming in the past year. Just an fyi. Through all the updates and changes; through all the people coming and going. It’s the same coin. Why all the FUD over price? It is so trivial to the overall success of the project in its current state. Chia Network…

We talk a lot about Chia Forks around these parts, co-farming compatible plots is one of the selling points of Chia Network’s technology stack. But we might be looking at a different sort of fork coming up soon, one that participants of other blockchains might be more familiar with. The first Chia soft fork might…

Cue the smallest violin in the world. This piece will be called “Rant in C major”. Recently I have come into a ton of problems while farming chia.
