This is huge. An alternative to proof of work using extra hard drive space instead of CPU. And anyone with hard drive space can mine/farm! No special hardware needed. Seems possible that this will be a basis for other crypto projects too.
- bitsoda 6y agoHa, sadly my measly k32 plot is saying I'll win a block in 8 months. Still, it's a promising alternative to the Bitcoin blockchain. I think this might actually go somewhere. Their GUI is wonderful and dead simple to use.
- ergot_vacation 6y agoThe GUI is shockingly competent for a 1.0 crypto client. Everything is clear and easy to find. No lag. And it looks pretty to boot. This feels like a product made by people who may have actually known what they were doing. That said, well-designed products fail all the time. Time will tell.
- Glench 6y agoI just heard the creators on the launch livestream say that hey, even if you win one XCH a year that might be enough to pay for a new computer depending on how the market ends up pricing chia so that's not so bad!
- rambojazz 6y agoI wonder if this means more CPUs/GPUs available in the next future, and less HDDs available. Given the current GPU craze, this might be a good time to invest in large HDDs.
