The Space Farmer – Week 4

The Space Farmer – Week 4

I held off with this week’s update until we hit 4,000 Unique addresses with XCH. We all like nice round milestones.  The netspace is up to about ~295 PiB for a ridiculous 39.8% week over week growth.  It seems like you all have figured out this plotting thing and the race for the 9,216 daily XCH is heating up.

The Chia team has released 1.0.4 on Github.  https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain/releases/tag/1.0.4

There is a massive improvement to plotting. The temp space required for a plot is down to 256GB and optimizations created a 10-15% faster plotting time.  We will have a full guide released with storage_jm’s testing and the best way to maximize your plotting efficiency.  The Netspace is about to grow that much faster.

The Chia Team hosted a Zoom AMA on Friday night. Gene Hoffman took questions with Matt and Straya from the Chia team. For nearly two hours, they covered topics including Chia whales, NFT status, updates on the pooling protocol, netspace growth, transactions, “when exchange?”, cloud storage plotting, rollups, ChiaLisp, ChiaDex, China, and the future of the Chia Network.

Chia feels different. I know I’m not the only one in the community who feels it. The legendary founder, Bram Cohen, Chia’s ESG benefits over PoW, and accessible farming to just about any one. The crypto industry is ready for something to cross the chasm in global payment utility and Chia has a real chance to be that project. The last 5 minutes of the Q&A may prove to be the most important of them all. Everyone needs to understand the goal of the Chia Network so please check out the video below.

Our featured community project of the week is Caleb Curry and his Coin Breakthrough youtube channel.  We love Caleb here at Chia Decentral and know the rest of the Chia community feels the same.  He has a great perspective on the crypto space at large and has great how-to videos on Chia farming and plotting.  Here’s the link to his Youtube page, so give him a subscribe and check out his new daily content. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi6c6gqIi7Qe18lZIF98JCQ

We have lots of content planned for the week leading up to transactions.  There is also a newsletter signup dropping later this week so you never have to miss an update from storage_jm. Until then, hit us up on keybase and follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/ChiaDecentral 

Have a great week and happy farming!
