So I have gotten a bit of additional clarity from the Chia Network team about the drop in netspace and pool netspace this weekend and the corresponding slight reduction in signage points. It seems that it was an arms race between the fastest timelord on the network and a new one coming online and fighting…

Odd drop in netspace and signage points, Chia says “Update!”
Yesterday there was a weird “network event” on the Chia Network where the netspace dipped a bit below, there were fewer signage points and the pool netspaces dropped a little bit. This wasn’t the kind of event comparable to the dust storm and it is unlikely to have caused too many folks serious issues, but…
What is the real Chia netspace? We may have an answer.
The last few months of Chia have seen explosive growth, and then some jitter and then more explosive growth when it comes to the number of plots worked by farmers to secure the Chia Blockchain. Until now trying to plan out farmers has been a total crapshoot with no idea where the netspace would be…
Flax Network incredibly crosses 1 exbibyte of netspace
For the Flax Network team today is a wonderful milestone; their Chia fork has crossed 1 EiB of netspace over night. It is an incredible accomplishment to have gotten their coin to that much netspace, possibly a truly secure PoST blockchain. Based on my conversation with their developer they never expected Flax to blow up…
Chia netspace slows radically – can we finally make predictions?
So this is a strange situation. For the first time ever the Chia netspace is lower than it was two days ago. According to ChiaExplorer.com the peak netspace was 27.864 EiB, and it is sitting about 1.5PiB lower than that right now. So the real question is why? First thing: no idea. Neither does anyone…
Chia netspace update – passes 24EiB and still climbing
The Chia Netspace has continued on its tear recently and crossed 24EiB today. The netspace growth has been rocky over the last few weeks, full of stops and starts and temporary decreases. It is unclear what is causing these hiccups, but what is clear is that the netspace continues to increase at an incredible rate….
Chia Netspace crosses 20EiB
This morning the Chia netspace crossed a major milestone, racking up a full 20 Exbibyte of plotted netspace. This is a really big deal, and will make a lot of people not paying attention to Chia sit up and take notice. This works out to a full 200 000 000 plots in just over a…
The “0XCH club” and whining about winnings
This is going to be a short post, but the community seriously needs to stop whining at the Dev team about not having won multiple XCH after a month of farming. The #general chat on the Keybase channel is constantly full of people complaining to the developers that they havent won yet and offering “suggestions”…
Chia Netspace crosses 17EiB
The netspace has crossed 17EiB this morning, continuing the meteoric rise. While the rate of growth (percentage increase) is decreasing at this point, its mostly only because the space is getting so big not because the growth is slowing. Even though the past week has been a lot rockier than any other period since mainnet…
Chia Netspace growth picks back up
After a brief, but relatively lengthy pause, the growth of the Chia netspace has resumed its frantic upward trend. It is still unclear what caused this almost day and a half long break, but I can promise you that the small farmers out there appreciated the reprieve. By the looks of things the rate of…
