instead of using GPUs or ASICs to run Proof of Work it uses Hard Drive Space called Proof of Space & Time

so it uses 1/300th the energy and unlike Proof of Stake it doesn't reward the people with the biggest bags

it has a Smart Contract platform & Token standards like Ethereum

the devs seem to be competent and have been keeping up with their release schedule which is shocking in this space lol

they're working on a Chia DEX right now

it's in the very early stages Mainnet is only a month old

so sell half right now and hold that fiat to dca in bear market?

I mean I'm not spending that money anyway and just holding it for retirement, so why take it out of the blue chip coins if you don't want to deal with taxes

Dip is already over
I wanted some $8 theta please go back down

Good god

Im just plotting on my gaming PC 5 a day

Comp hitting new ATH

I still have 140 TiB to fill

Im still fillin up my 16tb after that idk what to do

All depends on your situation, time frame, and if you are looking to make a major purchase or another investment

When I was speaking about possibly topping out, that is just for btc by the way

I am expecting a recovery to at least 55-60ishk, and that is where alts should go insane. So I am not bearish on total market, just possibly BTC (and there is a chance this is just a correction and we go up again, but I always like taking some profits off the table when rising hard).

I actually think we should see HIGHER alt prices, coming from someone most think is super bearish

I sold some eth at 2500 and about 1/2 my vechain last week as its done really well, just to mostly cover me in case things drop

Just have a plan if prices drop and make sure you can stick through it

I like to sell off in pieces and there is a portion of my portfolio (mostly eth and a couple alts) where I won't sell for a long time

You got actual PCs runnin or like raspberry pi's? I dont wanna build a PC that will be useless after ive plotted my space

If this helps I’m running the chia program on my pi4 using 40tb of hard drives plugged into a usb hub lol

Time to win = 15 hours

Only $75 for the 8gb version

Can you plot in parallel?

I’m doing 4 at a time right now and it seems to be working

I got the 4gb version so maybe the 8 can do more. Not sure. I just did a quick google and that’s what people said the max was for the pi to handle or the CPU will throttle

On a raspberry pi you can plot 4 at a time in parellel that cant be right bro

I’m also running a Plex server on it with 30TB of drives and I can still direct play on it at the same time

bro I just chose 4 and it been working. I havnt checked my cpu usage at all… could be super throttled rn for all I know

Gonna remote ssh into it rn and see

99.9% CPU usage and 98 degrees Celsius temps

S***s bout to start a fire imma halt the chia process and see if I should just do 2 when I get home

Lmaooo

Are they finishin though?

As said above it says 15 hours to win was at 4 days 4 days ago

Bout to hop to 2 days when I cut the parallel plots down

This is insanity everyone got $1k+ plotting builds and you're tellin me the $55 raspberry pi works just as good

Wouldn’t say just as good. But hell it works

But those 1k plotting builds with NVME ssd’s gonna be feasting
