Yesterday Chia Network held their December Ask me Anything community meeting, likely the last for the year, and answered questions from Chia farmers and fans for about an hour. Unlike the last few that they held, there wasn’t anything specific this AMA was focused on, and it really was a free for all that we…

Is it possible to farm Chia without a full node?
Chia Network recently released their light wallet software, an installable application that allows a user to create or import a Chia wallet in minutes instead of the days spent syncing the full node wallet application everyone has been using to farm Chia until now. This is a game changer, and is a requirement for the…
Looking for Chia and Chia Fork ecosystem writers for The Chia Plot
So I have put out calls for help before, and some have answered that call. And I truly appreciate it, as there was no promise or anything for those folks and they have all done an excellent job. This is different though. This time I am offering two part time paid writing positions, amount paid…
When does Chia farming become unprofitable?
When I started Chia farming the price per coin was just over $1500 USD. That was one of the key things that made me decide to start farming and definitely helped put Chia on my radar in the first place. That’s probably true of a lot of people in our ecosystem. And those that are…
What’s so special about NFTs? Guest Post by ChiaFarmers
I have to admit, I don’t really get NFTs. I understand what they are, how they work, where to buy them, how to trade them. But I don’t get the “why”. Recently a Chia farmer and fan going by ChiaFarmers ran a contest handing out his “Farmers of Chialisp” collection on OpenSea, and he was…
Chia Network answers questions about their community priorities
Yesterday Chia Network hosted an AMA with senior executives and engineers from their company. Mostly they answered questions completely and transparently, and its great to see them out there doing it. There were a few answers I disagree with, but they didn’t avoid any questions at all. Even the hard ones. You can check it…
How many Chia nodes are really out there?
Chia Network has released a very detailed image showing a dashboard of the current state of Chia nodes and it is fascinating. It is, from my understanding the first real glimpse into the details of the Chia network itself. The data is almost certainly gathered from the introducer that the Chia client speaks to when…
Does it matter which Chia Pool you farm with?
Over the past few weeks since the on-chain pooling protocol was released I have been changing my Chia pool using my 454 Chia plots every week or so trying to get a sense of payouts and experience with each pool. At a really high level, the 5 different pools I tried all roughly paid out…
Knock, knock. Nucle announces itself loudly as a lightweight Chia wallet
From the team behind PoolChia comes a new lightweight Chia wallet called Nucle.io run on the web, but not a custodial wallet as you retain control of your keys. This wallet a bit of a game changer, with no more multiday sync process needed to get up and going. Honestly, between the release of first…
Why I am no longer farming Chia forks
Its true. I have stopped farming Chia forks entirely. I don’t have anything against them in principle, and I am actually still quite a big fan of Flax and their community. I am also rooting for a number of them to succeed because I think the developers are good folks. But that doesn’t change the…
