As of right now, using this setup would take like 5 years to win. Difficulty is skyrocketing.

CHIA is already a dead-end, price of entry is already way too high, network difficulty is out of this world and for now it's still basically solo mining. CHIA don't solve anything when it comes to clean mining, hard drives are not environmental friendly and things can quickly go deeper if you start to take in account the human rights and slave labors aspect...

Great video Don! And thanks so much for the mention! I'm glad to hear I've been helpful in your quest toward farming Chia :) One day (soon!) there will be safe public pools, and then it won't be 2 months for a reward... can't wait! That was some clever advice regarding the spindle drive for plotting via Raspberry Pi. It may be slow, but that won't be the bottleneck with a Pi, so why burn out an SSD? Personally, I like to plot on my gaming computer (using a USB 3.1 NVMe chassis) and then move my farm drive over to the Pi 4. -Robbie

Great video Don👍🏻 Interesting topic. I might try it out some time.

Great video! I've been wanting to give this a go for a while!

Thanks for the vid, mate. It’s a nice little beginner vid. What would be great to see (and what I actually expected to see) is some hard core raspberry pi Chia farm, with in-depth research into what is the maximum farming capacity of the raspberry pi 4 in terms of HDDs connected to one Pi and network and interface bandwidth limitations and etc etc

Thank you for this video my dude. This answered aloy of questions I had.

Great video!!! One pointer. You said the the concept of mining with harddisk space is new, but it really isn't. I've mined the coin BURST for years which uses the same concept. Keep up the good work. :)

Nice Video! Informative as always :D

Novaspirit Tech, Thank you for your video "Real-Time Voice Cloning with Deep Learning" 2019

nice golden fruit analogy!

WoW - nice video, i‘love what you do with the raspi … ;-) i‘m also a big „pi“ Enthusiast … i‘love it …

Nice video Don, do you plan to make a video for IO board and CM4? What would config look like? Ubuntu desktop 21.04 on eMMC? How would you power hard drives connected to SATA PCI?

Great Video!

How many drives can i plug in with the usb powered hub? I want to plot on my PC and farm with the Pi.

What would you suggest for plotting on a limited budget?

How much time to get a plot or 1TB ready for farming? (Made with raspberry)

Great - now the storage market gets f*cked up as well...

If you are using consumerated hardware then you will definitely wear it out much faster than it was designed to handle.

Hey man do you know if its possible to run sas hard drives on a pi 4?

How long will a hard drive or SSD last with all this plotting?

Thanks for the tutorial. How many HDDs we can attach with one Rasberry Pi4?

You have to wait until the firs plot is created. This would increase a value of this vid by 50%

How long does 1 plot take on the pi

How much Internet data or bandwidth is required for chia farming

Is it practical with just a Raspberry pi 4 and drives?

Love the video, will this also work for the R-Pi 3?

Unlikely. You need 4GB RAM and a 64-bit O.S (most people use Ubuntu 21.04 64-bit for this). Would it really be worth it to attempt on a RPi3, except as a proof-of-concept? Probably not.

Thanks Don.

Can you use a sencecap m1 as chia miner ( it is a 4g pie if i am right) ?

where can i find those 3 headed sata to usb adapter?

I am assuming the Parallel plotting is limited to the 4 cores of the Pi?

becareful with TB and TiB ;-) is very different size in this ... TiB is bigger then TB ... i try plotting on rpi cluster and is terrible ... and plotting on hdd is self kill :D :D it take e few days, maybe weeks ... i plotting on enterprise servers with ent. ssd drives because have high TBW ... but for start for someone who want to test chia you make great tutorial ofcourse. Nice work ...

There is an issue with your time calculation. You did note plotting on a beefier machine makes sense, but it should be considered in the time. That 2 month time in the video doesn't including plotting time.

bro can you tell me how chia can auto start when pi start?

Do you need to Re-Plot a drive after some time? Or do the plots last forever?

@InfinantGamers

2 жыл бұрын

Currently the plots used are k32. In the future (~5-10yr) this will be obsolete and k34 will become the standard. Then replotting will be needed. Also if you have plots that are not NFT plots, which are used for pooling, you would have to replot if you want to pool.

..and this is why HDD prices are getting stupid...

Good luck winning any coin solo mining. Because its not going to happen. Anyone getting in now, you better hope for pools. Enterprise storage has entered the space. I've been plotting for 2 weeks now. 3 plots per day and my time to win is still well over 2 years. Chia plotting process is extremely resources intensive work. And any consumer drive will die within 2 months. Chia is marketed as green but its far from it. When pools open you will be forced to replot your drives. So much E-waste.

"invested" in a Dell server with 8HDD hot swaps.. 96TB storage and some nvme drives to plot... Lets see how this goes..

Doesn't chia destroy your storage?

my internet is LTE and I am very limited to how much data I can use over time does chia coin use a lot of data to run?

No, it needs storage space locally.

You can start farming chia coin right away if you buy plots !

I'm really hopeful that because the wording is different when regulation hits it'll still be in a grey area.

You can use Intel DC drives for endurance rated SSD drives that won't burn out so fast like consumer drives would. New ones are crazy expensive but used ones are reasonable. Or just buy extended warranties before they exclude SSD drives.🤦‍♂️🤣

With literally ANY capacity, a ROI period is about 3 years. You must consider a price you pay for "petabytes". It will merely return after 3 years, if the "developers" will not disappear after they sell pre-mined chips.

Hi! What do you think about the RAM disk for plotting? Like this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aKWI17KGZNGwqaw.html This is declared faster and unlimited resource, unlike the SSD.

No you do NOT create a plot, farm it, then delete and create a new one. Please go back and read documentation before releasing a video about chia farming.

This is such a horrible idea. The odds of you getting a block reward are beyond what a typical person can farm and mine. Good luck though! Lol.

if you're doing this at home, solo mining, you won't win. check reddit.
