Crypto is on fire right now. Binance’s CZ has successfully destroyed his longtime rival Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX, now BlockFi has suspended withdrawals from its platform because of the contagion spreading from the FTX destruction. But from what I can tell from the sidelines (at this point) Chia seems fine. Why is that? From where…

A new direction for The Chia Plot
Regular readers of The Chia Plot might be wondering where I have been for the past month. The content has been very light recently, and even though there has been a lot going on the Chia community, I haven’t been around to cover it. Except I have been around, just working on something new. Starting…
I accidentally installed over my Chia client
Last night Chia Network announced that they had released a new version of their 1.3 beta Chia client. This is the 3rd release in a short period of time, and really shows a dedication to producing usable software for the community. I am quite pleased with how the release management process is going. But of…
Chia Introduces CHIP – CHia Improvement Proposals
In a blog post on the Chia Network official blog, Chia has laid out the CHia Improvement Proposal process, similar in principle to the Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP). This is going to be a mechanism for all of us folks, not part of Chia Network but part of the Chia network to help steer the…
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. What they have built is a forum ChiaDevs, primarily aimed towards developers and that looks an awful lot like ChiaForum.com. Because its been a few days…

The last week has been a real big one for Chia Network and the Chia community. There wasn’t a ton of Chia news, but the news we got was prety big. Last week ended with Chia hosting another information-dense AMA and that’s where we will begin today, but that was certainly not the end of…
A brief review of the Chia Blockchain 1.3 beta
Yesterday Chia Network released a beta version of the Chia Blockchain 1.3 and there are a lot of changes. Chia is recommending that people not replace their main farming node with this version yet, so I did not. But I think I will soon. It is a big improvement. I have traditionally not been kind…
A quick review of the February Chia Network AMA
This Chia AMA took me a little bit to get through due to bad timing with some personal stuff going on, but there was a lot of news that came through in this one. To get the elephant in the room dealt with, yes Gene took a friendly swipe at me, no I don’t care….
Chia Network Business Whitepaper 2.0 released – some thoughts
Chia Network has just released the second major revision of their business whitepaper. You can see their announcement here, and if you are interested in the long term plans of the company I do recommend checking it out. The overall impression is that it much more cohesively written than the previous versions, and has an…
Peer to peer trades and USDS stablecoin coming to Chia
In a late night release, CoinDesk has let the CAT out of the bag as it relates to the new feature being announced today by Chia Network. It looks like the announcement will leverage offer files, as I and many others guessed, and will definitely involve Hashgreen as discussed yesterday. But there is also a…
