Chia finally creates forum other than keybase
Chia Network has finally launched a mechanism for communication with the team other than Keybase. They actually did this last week but I am, of course, behind on everything.

Chia News of the Week – Feb 7 to Feb 13

Chia Pool TruePool announces closure
In a very sad announcement on Discord the operators of TruePool have set February 1st as the last day for the pool to run. TruePool is a Chia pool made up of team members from TrueNas and was one of the only real bridges between the traditional storage / datahoarder community and the Chia farming…
Space Marmots successfully encodes a Marmot directly to the Chia Blockchain
In another major milestone for the Space Marmots project and the Chia blockchain, we have successfully encoded a 256×256 Space Marmot PNG image directly onto Chia’s testnet10 blockchain.
