Topic: Mining chia network with HDD it true ? - page 2. (Read 310 times)

I dont really know about Chia, the information is mined by Disk Storage is true, many of miner use SSD to do it.
But afaik the process isnt simple since you need to have plot to mine it, i dont really know about it.
Also SSD have a limited lifespan and not as durable as gpu, so becareful about it.

Well to give you an example on BITCOIN there is a call called GetTemplate(), and that's how the miners construct a new block to be mined, the pools could start a block without dev providing this linkage, in the case of CHIA, the dev neglected to implement this code,

YOU understand yet?

yep, but in the CHIA case dev has explicitly told the miners NOT to use un-approved pools, until they release the pool protocol, funny is that the CHINESE had their pool running before chia was even on main-net, nobody every said you needed a blockchain to find private keys

You and no one will complain if $XCH has a price less than $1. Complains and FUDs are abundant because $XCH price is more than $1600.

Have you ever heard of Dfinity project that delayed their airdrop distributions for years. Weeks ago, Internet Computer (ICP) appeared on coinmarketcap with value is above $600.

Life is never fair for all. Follow whales and get money. Just don't join the party too late.

Why developers have to support or own a mining pool?

Since you already have a calculator asking the audience if you will get chia with 50TB or 100TB is not cool, the truth is the calculator is showing you predictions of when to expect a block solved but I've seen many with over 100TB that haven't solve any blocks in months, chia solo mining is gambling

Spend some time watch Bram videos, do some plotting ( mining on chia ), find out for yourself what's really going on, your opinion is based on your feelings, not on reality of having tested or deployed this software on your machines.

I agree they launched, but they were already long delayed, and this project is now from 2017, so its 5 years, I think they found a new finance source in late 2020, and rushed to main-net. The entire issue is the coin was pre-sold in CHINA as an IOU on chinese exchanges where it went from zero to $1600, before it was even launched ( may 5, 2021 )

CHIA-DEV doesn't even support pools, yet the chinese exchanges running the IOU scam, manage to cobble together real life chia-pools months ago.

The truth about chia? You have not a clue.

Bram&team have clearly stated their only goal is the IPO on NYSE, to be the next RedHat for crypto support; Everything is out of their hands; Most troubling is people on youtube ( the west ) are told not use the chinese pools, but in ASIA everybody is making money, and in the west everybody is running solo-mining getting a big zero, and destroying their drives.

IMHO the scam is simple; The chinese own all, they own the xch, and the pools, and bram gets the IPO, its a done deal, and the western supporters who are beta test guinea pigs for the main-net launch get the shaft.

That article is to spread FUDs.

You will see how inaccurate that article is in next two or three months. $XCH will have bigger mining communities and SSD won't be destroyed after 40 days or longer a little. Time will prove that article is written to spread fuds and collect SSDs at cheaper cost.

It is not a scam project but they chose good time to launch their main net. When the market is leading by Dogecoin, meme tokens and tweets of Elon, CHIA team took that chance and hype their coin. CHIA is not a first cryptocurrency that is mineable with hard drives but the biggest successful coin in this branch so far.

Launch at good time, good marketing and has a famous team member.

Products from that project are unknown but people have belief of good products in the future. The belief is reflected into the price.

No its a lie

You plot with an HDD, you will kill the drive, I did it just for fun a few weeks ago, 1tb blue HDD WD, the plot never finished the drive was 100% corrupted, I was able to reformat the drive ( linux )

You plot on a SSD you will kill it SATA SSD's are not designed for random, their controllers are dumb

You plot on a NVME use  980 EVO pro or better, 1TB will allow you to plot 10-20 plots in parallel linux cmd-line per day,

Problem is chia is a scam, their plan is an IPO, the pools are non-existent except in China (HPOOL), and the dev-team for CHIA is hopeless as the code is full of bugs, terrible bugs. Remember they worked on this project  3-6 years, and then rushed to blockchain just a few weeks ago, so the only real testing just started now.

Your $200 NVME will be dead after two weeks of plotting, about 100 plots. Unless you pool on HPOOL you will earn nothing by mining chia as a solo-miner.

If this is the case then it's not worth it SSD is expensive before you can mine 1 Chia you have already spend hundreds of dollars of SSD, there are a lot of hard drive algo and I never read that until now that they are ruining our hard drive, but with the current market price, which is good it's up to miner if it's worth and can he maintain the cost.

Any calculations you do with chia, you should count in the fact that CHIA mining destroys hard drives quickly. The fact that they are trying to market it as an eco friendly solution is just misleading. Also there should be warning labels all over the site saying this:
Techspot: Chia farming can reportedly ruin a 512GB SSD in 40 days

I have seen post who has more drives space for mining chia its because if you have lots of drives or drive space you can mine or get chia I mean higher chance according to those who mine the coin, I'm also surprised with the price it got 1800 when first listed down to 600 after a week now it's already got back up I should have bought the coin since I could not mine it, maybe the price will go up after a while, also you check it in the mining section since there are lots of people who can help you there, good luck in your mining.

hello guys
good time

i have a question :

Do you know how to mining Chia Network with Hard Disk Drive ?

my question is about Mining profit !

in this site https://chiacalculator.com/ writed if you provid 40TB HDD for chia mining, You take profit 1 Chia Monthly, its true ?
its guaranteed ? rellay ?


in many group and forum users write its depend on your channs ! for example maby you cant mining 1 Chia with 100 TB in 4 Months but maby you can mining 1 chia with 50TB in one Months !

can you explain it ?

best wishes
