Chia Network today announced that Akash Network would be launching Chia Plotting as a Service on their distributed cloud compute network. What is Akash Network?

1mojo.trade is one man’s decentralized journey to riches
Chia Explorer developer Freddie has started a really incredible journey, and website called 1mojo.trade, reminiscent of the craigslist barter phenomenon that took off a couple decades ago with the paper clip to a house story.
