News Chia Currency Has Already Used 1 Exabyte of Storage

As a tech enthusiast i'm getting more and more disappointed by tom's Hardware.

This review is so flawed it wants to make my head spin 360°.

Here in the UK both cpus are 169£. The intel mobos are clearly more expensive & have on top no upgrade possibilities (especially convenient for budget builds). If you use the pc a couple of hours a week, you can easily add 15-30£ a year electricity bill to intel.

Also checked mind factory in Germany, 3600 164EU vs. 11400 192,66EU.

So, no wonder that an DIYer isn't buying this none sense.

I hope some day this page will return to it's former glory and stops sinking deeper and deeper.

I'm disappointed in your ability to post in the correct thread. What does any of this have to do with Chia Currency?

I think from a farmer's perspective, there are 2 key factors to watch closely: the value of the coin after it stabilizes and their stance on pooling (in a blog post from 2020 their mentioned that technically it will be possible, but back then they believed more in individual farming. I think the aforementioned post missed the point that without pooling, it will have the same Bitcoin drawbacks they wanted to avoid: those who can afford huge, enterprice-grade arrays of disks going into petabytes will control most of the network and collect all the rewards).

Pools are coming at the end of MAY. There will be a lot of them at first.
